Article Synopsis
- This case series examined five cats with paronychia who also had patellar fracture and dental anomaly syndrome (PADS), documenting their clinical features and treatment options.
- All affected cats showed multiple digits involved; while some improved with medical management, a majority required amputation of the third phalanx for effective treatment.
- Chronic paronychia could be linked to PADS due to the compromised bone structure and nailbed anatomy, pointing to the need for more research on long-term outcomes and possible surgical interventions.
Abstract This prospective study evaluated the cause(s) of dermatitis in a series of cats with signs suggestive of allergic skin disease. Twenty cases completed the díagnostic evaluation, which included intradermal skin testing, a rigorous flea-control programme, and a 4-month stabilization period on a restricted protein source commercial diet, followed by rechallenge with the cat's original diet. The most common final díagnoses included flea allergic dermatitis (seven cases), and flea allergic dermatitis together with atopy (seven cases).
