Equine Infectious Skin Diseases
A look at bacterial, fungal and yeast skin infections in horses.
From ringworm to Malassezia to sensitive and resistant bacterial infections - diagnosis and management of these equine cutaneous dermatoses can be a challenge. This seminar will provide an update on diagnosis and treatment of these three common conditions in the equine patient.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Identify similarities and differences between bacterial and dermatophytic (ringworm) lesions in horses
- Select appropriate diagnostic options for bacterial and fungal dermatoses
- Recognize and diagnose Malassezia dermatitis in horses
- Identify common underlying causes for secondary infections (e.g. equine allergies)
- Understand the mechanism of action of innovative topical therapies to help minimize the need for systemic therapies
