Abstract

Pododermatitis occurs less frequently in cats than in dogs. The clinical presentation, approach to diagnosis and management of some of the more common and important conditions associated with feline pododermatitis are considered in this article. Trombiculidiasis and bacterial paronychia are among the most common infections in cats, while fungal infections, although infrequent, are important. Other important but infrequent causes of feline pododermatitis dealt with include atopic disease, cutaneous adverse food reactions, pemphigus foliaceus, plasma cell pododermatitis and paraneoplastic alopecia (metabolic epidermal necrosis).
