Abstract

The study analyses the occurrence of skin diseases in dogs and the effectiveness of allergic pododermatitis treatment in dogs under urban conditions. The study found that skin diseases make 20.75 % of cases in the structure of the registered noncontagious pathology of dogs. Dermatitis and eczema, which account for 38.16 % and 24.32 % of cases, respectively, make the vast majority of skin diseases in dogs. Pyoderma (15.39 %) and alopecia (13.71 %) are diagnosed significantly less often. Tumor lesions are registered in 6.48 % of patients with dermatological pathology, and seborrhea occurs rather seldom (1.96 %). Pododermatitis was diagnosed in 14.88 % of dermatitis of noncontagious etiology. The disease was caused by allergic reactions in 32.17 % of patients. Pododermatitis is most frequently registered in the summer (47.83 %): in English bulldogs (20 %), shar-peis (14.78 %), boxers (13.91 %) and Labradors (12.17 %) aged 5 to 7 years. (31.31 %). Estimation of the efficacy of treatment for allergic pododermatitis was performed according to clinical criteria. In particular, the dynamics of changes in the symptoms of the disease, treatment duration, number of cured animals, the proportion of recurrences and complications, the form of their clinical course (mild, moderate, severe), period of remission, as well as complications that reduce it were determined. Inclusion of Apoquel, Curticol and Sanoderm preparations into the complex scheme increased the effectiveness of therapy by 1.4 times (p˂0.01) against the background of reducing the treatment duration by 1.6 times (p˂0.01), reducing the recurrence rate by 1.8 times with their predominant mild form of clinical course and prolongation of the remission period by 1.6 times (p˂0,001).
