Abstract

The effect of pain or discomfort induced by intractable pruritus on an animal’s quality of life has not traditionally been addressed at length in veterinary dermatology texts, yet chronic skin disease undoubtedly has a significant impact on the health and well being of both the pet and the family. This chapter explains Skin innervation and the perception of pain and pruritus; Pruritus in dogs; and Pruritus in cats. Chronic otitis externa in a dog; Non-seasonal pruritus in a dog.
