Laser usage in veterinary dermatology has increased in popularity over the last several decades. Carbon dioxide (CO) laser is the leading modality in surgical laser for veterinary dermatology because of its unmatched performance with soft tissue, particularly the skin. This laser cuts and coagulates tissue via the photothermal effect of laser energy when interacting with soft tissues with high water content, such as skin. CO laser modality has many indications for the diagnosis and treatment of dermatologic conditions in animals. This article will review the basics of CO laser and how to utilize it in veterinary dermatology.

Transcriptionally Active Human Papillomavirus in Male Genital Lichen Sclerosus, Penile Intraepithelial Neoplasia, and Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) and penile squamous cell carcinoma (PeSCC) are both thought to be associated with male genital lichen sclerosus and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection through dichotomous pathways: (i) undifferentiated PeIN and warty/basaloid PeSCC are thought to be HPV related, whereas (ii) differentiated PeIN and usual PeSCC are considered HPV independent. Tissue arrays were constructed from male genital lichen sclerosus, undifferentiated and differentiated PeIN, usual-type PeSCC, and unaffected tissues. Staining for p16 and for high-risk and low-risk HPV subtypes through RNAscope was performed.

Background: In humans, the presence of an even distribution of melanocytes within the epidermal basal layer allows for uniform pigmentation in healthy and young individuals. Moreover, despite high variability in skin colours and tones, interindividual melanocyte density variability is low. However, dogs display a high intraindividual pigmentary variability in different anatomical areas.

Background: Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have been shown to reduce pruritus and improve associated inflammatory skin lesions in canine atopic dermatitis (cAD).
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ilunocitinib, in comparison to oclacitinib, for the control of cAD in a randomised, blinded trial.
Animals: Three-hundred-and-thirty-eight dogs with cAD.

Nasal planum dermatoses in dogs can be infectious, immune-mediated, allergic, neoplastic, and metabolic in nature. Recognizing key lesions and features and knowing how and when to biopsy can help distinguish between similar diseases. The focus of this article is to review the most commonly encountered nasal planum dermatoses in dogs and to enable the veterinary practitioner to recognize and differentiate between them to obtain a diagnosis.
