Chronic exfoliative dermatitis in a German Shorthaired Pointer dog

Abstract

History: A 5-year-old, spayed female, German Shorthaired Pointer dog presented to a veterinary clinic for a second opinion following a history of chronic dermatitis and suspected allergies. Clinical signs improved with prednisone, but there was no appreciable response with antibiotics or oclacitinib (Apoquel). Lesions initially developed on the chest and occasionally involved paw pads and lips.
