 ==Nutrition and the Skin==
-Most animals are fed balanced diets and are therefore unlikely to exhibit symptoms.  There are some systemic conditions that can reflect deficiency as a result of [[Liver General Pathology - Pathology|hepatic]] or [[Intestines, Small and Large - Pathology|intestinal]] diseases for example.

 Malnutrition whether due to a deficiency of protein or other nutrients or secondary to a debilitating condition may lead to a dull, brittle and thin [[Hair - Anatomy & Physiology|haircoat]] and to dry, scaly [[Skin - Anatomy & Physiology|skin]].  This in part reflects the high requirement for dietary amino acids to supply requisite building blocks for epidermal turnover and hair growth. Sulfur-containing amino acids are common in the skin and therefore sulfur supplementation is popular for dealing with skin conditions.

 Cutaneous changes may include [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|alopecia]], epidermal and dermal thinning, atrophy of [[Skin - Anatomy & Physiology#Glands|sebaceous glands]] and the [[Hair - Anatomy & Physiology#Hair Types|arrector pili]] muscles.  There may also be an increased risk of [[Bacterial skin infections - Pathology|microbial infection]] due to poor immune surveillance and delayed wound healing.  There are significant differences between species in the manifestation of symptoms.
