Depending on where you live geographically, you may see a lot of deep fungal disease or not much at all. How do you recognize deep fungal disease? What diagnostics can be done?
Even if you don't see a lot of deep fungal disease where you live, dogs and cats change environments so it could happen! Learn about blastomycosis, coccidiomycosis, cryptococcus, sporotrichosis and histoplasmosis on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast.

Isoxazolines are anti-parasitics that inhibit chloride channels in the nervous systems of invertebrates. This paralyzes and kills parasites by blocking the transmission of neuronal signals.
Isoxazolines are more selective to fleas, ticks, and mites than to mammals, including humans, dogs and cats. It has been a game changer for our flea allergic pets and treating mange cases.
Learn some of the specific differences of these products on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!

Thanks to the isoxazolines... we don't see demodex as much as we used to! However, it is still a disease that can be overlooked and important to recognize and treat. But when treatment can range from nothing to an anti-parasitic... how do you approach these canine cases?
Localized vs. Generalized
Juvenile-onset vs. Adult-onset
Did you know there are three types of Demodex we can find on dogs?

Derm drugs are SO important! BUT... there is a reason we talk about multimodal therapy being so essential in managing allergic cases. Preventatives, diet, immunotherapy, topicals, supplements, etc. are crucial. However, we have to tailor and customize our plan for each individual patient AND client.
Learn how the non-drug management tools can help with prevention, skin barrier, microbiome and future flares on this episode of The Derm Vet podcast.

No doubt that bacteria keep getting smarter and smarter... recently, I had a culture come back from a superficial pyoderma with NO ANTIBIOTIC OPTIONS! So we have to pivot and consider options such as dilute bleach rinses.
What terminology is being used for this type of resistance? How can we prevent it from worsening? Find out some tips on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!

Allergies add up! Is it really that important to perform ear cytology when most of commercial products have combination ingredients? What do you do if an ear is not responding?
Learn why it is crucial to justify the cost of repeated ear cytology to your cases. Many of these products have potent ingredients so we want to assure we are using them appropriately!
Phovia is an innovative form of photobiomodulation that is easy to use in a veterinary clinical practice and can have several benefits (antibacterial, wound healing, etc.). It is easy to use and fast!
But, what kind of cases could benefit from this technology? Would it be common to use on a daily basis in general practice? Check out how common Phovia can be used in a general practice. From acral licks, post-surgical incision and deep pyoderma, the common opportunities are endless!
