Frequently Asked Questions about Atopic Dermatitis Medication for Dogs
What is atopic dermatitis in dogs?
Atopic dermatitis in dogs is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by allergies. Often caused by airborne or environmental allergens, atopic dermatitis causes itching and skin inflammation that can be very uncomfortable for dogs. Symptoms include excessive scratching, licking and biting of the skin or ears, skin irritation and redness, and thickened or darkened areas on the skin. Although there is no cure for it, desensitization therapy can help decrease the allergic reaction, and anti-inflammatory drugs can bring relief for any remaining symptoms. Your dog may also need antibiotics or antifungals to treat secondary infections caused by atopic dermatitis.
