is the largest organ on the body. Often it tends to have lesions that need proper History from you, differentials from us, diagnosis and treatment based on the condition. This is the exact process that we follow at Animaux Clinique. Your visit, consults, and follow-ups will vary based on the problem.

Skin Consult

Skin cases are very common in small animal practice and although many are straightforward, others do not respond to treatment and become chronic cases, usually without a definitive diagnosis. This account of a practical approach to the skin case aims to help first opinion practitioners avoid the frustrating skin case and achieve a diagnosis on most occasions. The complete approach to the diagnosis of skin cases can be summarised as follows:

• Establish a diagnosis
• Institute specific therapy
• Obtain a general and dermatological history

Allowing adequate time to obtain a comprehensive history is crucially important, especially with the apparently difficult case. Within the time constraints of a 10- to 15-minute consultation, it will not be possible to achieve a useful history in the more difficult case. There are several ways to overcome this problem.

Treatment is much the same for adult dogs with worms. The same kinds of drugs are used, but your dog will get more of the medicine.
