Introduction

Don't you think alopecia is just a cosmetic issue? It is simply a clinical sign, not a diagnosis in itself. It can be caused by many different diseases. To treat alopecic patients, it is crucial to first identify the cause of the alopecia. The treatment options depend entirely on the causes. Through this lecture with three case studies, you will be able to categorize the alopecic patients based on their causal types.
A downloadable material about the diagnostic workflow for alopecia of dogs and cats is available for easy review on this topic. A leaflet for pet owners on this topic is also available for your easy communication with pet owners.
