Common conclusions

Your dog doesn't show any symptoms of superficial necrolytic dermatitis. Superficial necrolytic dermatitis is characterized by the deterioration and death of skin cells. Your dog appears to be in good health, but if you suspect that your pet is not well, you should consult with your veterinarian.

Your dog shows few common symptoms of superficial necrolytic dermatitis. However, even one observed symptom is a sign that you should consult with your veterinarian. He will perform a complete physical exam on your dog, including a biochemical profile, a complete blood count, a urinalysis, and an electrolyte panel. You will need to give a thorough history of your pet's health, onset of symptoms, and possible health conditions that might have precipitated this condition. Your veterinarian will treat the underlying disease process if possible and will prescribe the appropriate medicine to treat the dog's symptoms.

I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
