chronic skin inflammation in dogs due to environmental allergies
Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition in dogs caused by an allergic reaction to environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and mold spores. It often results in symptoms like itching, redness, and recurrent ear infections, and can significantly impact a dog's quality of life. Treatment typically involves a combination of allergen avoidance, medications to control itching and inflammation, and sometimes immunotherapy.
