Differential Diagnosis of Feline Facial Dermatitis

SPONSORED BY NEXTMUNE 

In this webinar, veterinary dermatologist Sue Paterson provides an in-depth overview of feline facial dermatitis, focusing on two key presentations: pruritic and ulcerative dermatitis. This is the first of a two-part series, designed to enhance understanding of the differential diagnoses and management of these conditions in cats.

In this session, you will learn about the diseases that commonly cause pruritus and ulceration of the feline face. The discussion covers essential differential diagnoses for each presentation and explains how to select the most appropriate diagnostic tests, such as skin cytology, cultures, or biopsies, depending on the clinical presentation. Treatment options are also covered, providing a framework for managing these cases more effectively.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify common diseases that present with pruritic or ulcerative facial dermatitis in cats.
• Understand the differential diagnoses for pruritic and ulcerative conditions.
• Learn which diagnostic tests are most applicable to each presentation.
• Review treatment options for pruritic and ulcerative dermatitis.
