As a dermatologist, I see A LOT of allergies. However, there are other causes of skin diseases that can cause a pet to develop pruritus, skin lesions, etc. In this episode, I will cover the 5 red flags that should get you considering other causes of skin disease besides allergies.

1. Dermatologic disease starts when the pet is senior
2. Mucus membranes are affected
3. The pet is not itchy
4. Infection is controlled but the lesions or pruritus do not respond to steroids or other anti-pruritic therapies
5. Weird lesions like depigmentation or nodules are present
