| |
− | ===Acanthosis Nigricans===
| |
− | *Occurs in Dachshunds
| |
− | *Bilateral axillary hyperpigmentation, [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|lichenification, alopecia]]
| |
− | *May be followed by secondary pyoderma or [[Skin Other - Pathology#Secondary seborrhea|seborrhea]]
| |
− | *Microscopically:
| |
− | **Thickened epidermis by mainly [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|acanthosis]]
| |
− | **[[Skin Glossary - Pathology|Hyperkeratosis]]
| |
− | **Increased melanin in epidermis
| |
− | | |
− | ===Alopecia and Hypotrichosis===
| |
− | *Occurs in most species
| |
− | *Bred for in some breeds, e.g. Mexican hairless dog, Sphinx cat
| |
− | *May be due to decreased number of hair follicles, failure of hair growth or follicular dysplasia
| |
− | *Also associated with maternal deficiency of iodine
| |
− | ===Collagen Dysplasia===
| |
− | [[Image: Collagen dysplasia.jpg|100px|thumb|right|<small><center>Collagen dysplasia - dog tail (Courtesy of Bristol BioMed Image Archive)</center></small>]]
| |
− | *Occurs in many species
| |
− | *Very stretchy and loose skin that tears easily
| |
− | *Due to variety of defects of enzyme necessary for collagen synthesis or processing
| |
− | *Histologically:
| |
− | **Varies depending on cause
| |
− | **May appear normal
| |
− | **Collagen bundles varied in shape, size and their organisation
| |
− | ===Epidermolysis Bullosa===
| |
− | [[Image: Epidermolysis bullosa.jpg|100px|thumb|right|<small><center>Epidermolysis bullosa in a lamb (Courtesy of Bristol BioMed Image Archive)</center></small>]] | |
− | *Also called '''Red Foot Disease'''
| |
− | *Occurs in sheep, dogs, cattle and horses
| |
− | *Development of cutaneous blisters
| |
− | *Varies depending on hereditary cause
| |
− | *Affected animals tend not to survive
| |
− | *Lesions appear at surfaces that are easily damaged, ''e.g.'' oral mucosa, feet
| |
− | *Microscopically:
| |
− | **Epidermal vesicular disease
| |
− | **Healing displaces lesions more dorsally
| |
− | **May become infected and form [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|pustules]]
| |
− | ===Epitheliogenesis Imperfecta===
| |
− | *Also called '''Aplasia Cutis'''
| |
− | *Incomplete development of squamous epithelium and [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|adnexa]] of skin and epithelium of oral mucosa
| |
− | *Occurs in most species
| |
− | *Grossly:
| |
− | **Circumscribed areas of missing squamous epithelium
| |
− | *Unprotected underlying tissue gets easily damaged and infected, possibly resulting in bacteraemia
| |
− | ===Hypertrichosis===
| |
− | *Increased hair growth
| |
− | *Both congenital or hereditary
| |
− | *In sheep may be caused by [[Flaviviridae#Pestiviruses|Border Disease virus]]
| |
− | *Microscopically:
| |
− | **Enlarged primary follicles and wool fibres
| |
− | *Also accociated with maternal hyperthermia
| |
− | ===Ichthyosis===
| |
− | *Inherited cutaneous disease
| |
− | *Occurs in dogs and cattle
| |
− | *Grossly:
| |
− | **Thickened skin due to [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|hyperkeratosis]]
| |
− | **May crack resembling fish scales
| |
− | *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 [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|alopecia]]
| |
− | ===Photosensitisation===
| |
− | *May be due to inherited defects
| |
− | *See [[Skin Environmental - Pathology#Photosensitisation|HERE]]
| |
− | ===Porcine Juvenile Pustular Psoriasiform Dermatitis===
| |
− | *Also called '''Pityriasis Rosea'''
| |
− | *Occurs in pigs
| |
− | *Symmetric lesions on the abdomen, loin and medial thigh
| |
− | *Start as small [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|papules]] covered by brown [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|crusts]]
| |
− | *-> lesions join and spread -> umbilicated [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|plaques]] containing white centres with erythematous and scaly borders
| |
− | *Similar to [[Skin Infectious - Pathology|dermatophytosis]]
| |
− | *Histologically:
| |
− | **Epidermal hyperplasia, [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|parakeratosis]], epidermal [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|pustules]] and superficial perivascular dermatitis
| |
− | *For more detail see [[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 -> [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|paronychia]] and [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|hyperkeratosis]] of pads
| |
− | **May also occur on pinnae, elbows, muzzle, hocks or become generalised with [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|crusting, ulceration]] and secondary pyoderma
| |
− | **Histologically:
| |
− | ***Hyperkeratosis and bacterial pustular dermatitis
