Today came for the firsten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/137428?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 05 Jun 2015 16:54:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:83c034cf-da23-4713-a54a-28f5fc949a28Simo<p>Thanks Steve. I didn&#39;t see her again but at least I know I was not in the wrong direction putting her on antibiotics for a while before biopsy, hopefully my notes will help in the future management of the case and next time I&#39;ll be more prepared.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/137105?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 02 Jun 2015 21:22:40 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:15e54c26-3a34-4a50-ab67-e253b82729feStephen Shaw<p>Consider mucocutaneous pyoderma and consider antibiotics for a couple of weeks before biopsy as the differentiation of cutaneous lupus and mucocutaneous pyoderma can be very difficult.

I asked the owner and she new nothing about a possible biopsy done at that time, unfortunately no clinical history either. I let a note to the regular vet about try to get hold of her previous history, and yes, a biopsy is what I prospected to the owner as a second step.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/134415?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:52:47 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:16d2966a-0ebb-4e22-bbf6-57c21af401edMartin Atkinson<p>I think you need a skin biopsy, pity you didn&#39;t keep the skin from the lip fold!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/134379?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 26 Apr 2015 19:35:50 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:601e9628-42f4-4e56-bb63-c87d901a76b8Lindsey Edwards<p>The one i sent out was, mild pawing at sticky eyes but not itchy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/134354?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 26 Apr 2015 12:13:50 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:bec4e65f-4e52-4454-8d6d-ef2a251ca43dSimo<p>Was it non itchy?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/134351?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 26 Apr 2015 10:15:59 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c00f5143-c05e-41d1-b5ea-94a2e0067224Lindsey Edwards<p>Sent a similar case for referral recently, hypersensitivity to malassezia or staph spp. diagnosed visually - all periocular, nasal and lip fold lesions resolved with tapered pred</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
