Common conditions

Atopic dermatitis and cutaneous adverse food reactions

This topic has been addressed by the The International Task Force on Canine Atopic Dermatitis[2] and American College of Veterinary Dermatology (ACVD) Task Force.[3][4]

Atopic dermatitis may caused by numerous antigens including mites in house dust and in food.[5][6]

Treatment

Treatment includes allergen avoidance, anti-inflammatory agents, allergen-specific immunotherapy and antimicrobial drugs.[7] The role of essential fatty acids is uncertain.[8]
