Abstract
Skin disease is common in cats and dogs, and can be a reason for relinquishment, abandonment, or even consideration for euthanasia. However, many dermatological conditions are very amenable to diagnosis and effective treatment within the shelter without marked expense. This chapter will describe dermatological problems of particular relevance in the shelter setting. Quick reference guides: Zoonotic diseases in shelters; Dealing with the itchy dog: is it atopic dermatitis?; Exotic diseases in shelters.

Non-healing wound in an FeLV-positive cat; the definitive cause was not identified. The haircoat on the ventral abdomen is stained by exudates. Cats with non-healing wounds should be tested for FIV and FeLV infections. Other differentials for non-healing wounds include atypical bacterial infections (e.g. Mycobacterium spp.), fungal infections, neoplasia, foreign bodies and corticosteroid therapy. FeLV = feline leukaemia virus; FIV = feline immunodeficiency virus.
