Abstract
Background: Skin disease is a common presentation in small animal, first‐opinion veterinary practice and it generally has an insidious onset, requiring long‐term management by both practitioners and clients. However, there are a handful of dermatopathies that occur acutely, causing striking skin lesions and/or systemic disease. The majority of these emergency dermatopathies are not regularly seen, thus the literature is minimal and practitioners may not be familiar with their aetiology, clinical appearance, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.Aim of the article: This article discusses the key features of the main dermatological emergencies of dogs and cats, with a focus on clinical presentation, diagnosis and therapeutic options.
