Success stories

The Studio Dermatologico is a referral facility dedicated exclusively to Dermatology and allergic and auricular diseases of dogs and cats.

Here you can find some of our stories with happy endings.

Willy – Cavalier King Charles

Before
Willy is a 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles who was brought to the Studio Dermatologico Veterinario with widespread pustules and crusts in all skin districts. The disease that affected Willy is pemphigus foliaceus, a condition in which the dog’s immune system produces antibodies that mistakenly recognize certain skin structures as foreign and destroy them.

After
Over the next three months of immunomodulatory therapy, Willy’s dermatitis improved and after 6 months was under control. In this picture you can appreciate how the pustules and scabs have disappeared and hair has grown back everywhere.

Miky – Dachshund

Before
Miky is a 3-year-old Dachshund who has had plaques on the back of his nose for the past 10 days. Miky loves to go to the countryside and often sticks his snout into the burrows of moles and wild rabbits. After examining the scales and hairs surrounding the lesions under the microscope we observe the presence of hair fragments covered with fungal spores and hyphae.

After
Miky is being treated with topical and systemic antifungal therapy, and after 3 weeks the lesions are much improved, the hair has not completely grown back, but in a few weeks the nose will be back as before!

Stellina – Bolognese

Before
Stellina is a 3-year-old female Bolognese breed dog who presents with ulcerated and painful plaques and nodules on her trunk and fever. The problem is caused by granuloma formation, lesions similar to foreign body reactions, which Stellina’s immune system mistakenly produces in the absence of a particular infectious agent.

After
Stellina after one month of treatment is much better. The lesions have healed and the fever has disappeared.

Whisky – Persian cat

Before
Whisky is a Persian cat who was brought in for abnormal bending of both ear pinnae. The cause was a drug reaction to a topical cortisone used to control ear itching.

After
Whisky one month after discontinuation of the drug and proper treatment of parasitic otitis.

Toby – Dog

Before
Toby is a eleven-year-old male dog who arrived at the Studio Dermatologico Veterinario with diffuse hair loss, pustules and crusts. Skin scrapings and microscopic hair examinations were performed, and Toby was diagnosed with generalized demodicosis with secondary bacterial infection.

After
