Acanthosis Nigricans

Alopecia and Hypotrichosis

Collagen Dysplasia

Epidermolysis Bullosa

Epitheliogenesis Imperfecta

Hypertrichosis

Ichthyosis

  • Inherited cutaneous disease
  • Occurs in dogs and cattle
  • Grossly:
  • Increased adherence of keratocytes preventing normal desquamation
  • In cattle occurs in two forms:
    • Ichthiosis fetalis - fatal, stillborn calves or die within days of birth
    • Ichthiosis congenita - folded and thickened skin, fissures and partial alopecia


Porcine Juvenile Pustular Psoriasiform Dermatitis


Zinc-related disorders

  • Occurs in Bullterriers and calves
  • Resolves with zinc supplementation in calves but not dogs
  • In dogs:
    • Fatal acrodermatitis
    • Lesions start between digits and on foot pads -> severe interdigital pyoderma -> paronychia and hyperkeratosis of pads
    • May also occur on pinnae, elbows, muzzle, hocks or become generalised with crusting, ulceration and secondary pyoderma
    • Histologically:
      • Hyperkeratosis and bacterial pustular dermatitis
