343. The Multiple-Allergy Patient: When One Diagnosis Isn’t Enough

Send me a derm question or story through text or voicemail!

Is your allergic patient still itching despite treatment? They may be dealing with more than one allergy!

In this episode, I break down how to identify the multi-allergy veterinary patient and recognize the clues that suggest multiple underlying causes of pruritus. I discuss partial responses to allergy therapy, seasonal changes in itching, persistent problem areas, recurrent otitis, and why different lesions may respond differently to treatment.
