We will start this discussion by examining how the diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (ad) in dogs is made.

History- most important information you can get!
Signalment- age: is the dog geriatric? In a geriatric dog you may need to consider underlying endocrinopathies, cutaneous neoplasia, autoimmune diseases, and end- stage atopic dermatitis. In a puppy contagious diseases such as scabies are more likely.

Breed- predisposition to specific diseases:

Akita
• Pemphigus foliaceus
• Sebaceous adenitis
• Uveodermatologic syndrome

Chihuahua
• Ischemic
• dermatopathy
• Pattern alopecia
• Vasculitis

Cocker spaniel (american)
• Congenital cornification defects (primary seborrhea)
• Nasal/digital hyperkeratosis

Every spring the European Veterinary Conference Voorjaarsdagen used to organize. Important goals of the Voorjaarsdagen Conference were to build friendships between veterinarians at a national and international level, to enhance the quality and availability of veterinary medicine and surgery, and to foster the exchange of scientific information among veterinarians.  The activities of the European Veterinary Conference have ceased with the last meeting in 2019.
