Instead of killing bacteria and yeast, dogs with atopic dermatitis become irritated and/or allergic to them. We have recently learned that the skin barrier is also abnormal in ...
found that allergic dogs with Atopic Dermatitis (AD) had a different gene signature [a rule that predicts health outcomes] than healthy dogs. The results of the study may help improve diagnosis and treatment of AD in Westies and in Westies with allergic symptoms but do not yet have AD. According to the AKC Canine Health Foundation, 10 percent
31 Ιουλ 2023 · Common Skin Problems in Westies. Westies are more susceptible to certain skin conditions compared to other breeds. The most common issues include atopic dermatitis, yeast infections, allergies, flea dermatitis, and seborrhea.
