With the end of the year comes a lot of reflection... and stress. Working on chronic dermatology cases can provide frustration as many medications and differentials aren't always a slam dunk on the first exam. So, ending the year on a more positive note, learn how derm workups and medication selection aren't perfect for specialists either. Selection of diagnostics and drugs can be trial and error in certain patients... and that's okay.

Cats and dogs are very different with their skin lesions and distribution is no different. If a dog presents with claw fold disease, the list of differentials is much better than a cat with claw fold skin disease. Throw in oral lesions and otitis... and we have to recognize how there are differences in how we create differential lists.Learn more on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:25 Distribution of lesions between cats and dogs02:05 Claw Fold Disease05:54 Otitis09:01 Oral Cavity11:11 Recap
