Abstract

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a multifaceted genetic disease, in which the patient has an exacerbated immune response. The lesion and pruritus pattern was analyzed in dogs of the Lhasa Apso, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu and Pug breeds of both sexes, previously diagnosed with AD, attended between January 2017 to April 2019 at the Veterinary Hospital of the Methodist University, with in order to verify a more peculiar lesion pattern for each breed, resulting in lhasa apso with greater involvement of phalanges and interdigits and smaller in trunk, yorkshire terrier with greater insult in ears and less in perianal region, shih tzu resulting in greater involvement of phalanges and interdigits and minor in the abdomen, and pug with greater injury of phalanges and interdigites and minor in the head. It is concluded that when comparing the incidence of skin lesions in atopic dogs of the studied breeds, there was no great difference in terms of lesional distribution.
