This third edition has been revised to eliminate useless, overly historic, or downright dangerous treatments. Additionally, the diagnostic chapter has been expanded and includes multiple methods to arrive at the diagnosis of a patient’s skin disease. As many dis-eases can appear very similar, every attempt has been made to compare and contrast similar diseases through-out the text, differential lists, images, and figure legends. For itchy dogs, the Novartis Dermatology System has been included because it represents the most simple and elegant starting point for differentiating common allergic diseases, identifying the secondary infections, and combining primary disease treatment with symptomatic therapy. The Novartis Dermatology System, developed by multiple dermatologists over 3 years, has been implemented in numerous clinics across the United States and has a proven track record for improving clinical outcomes and ultimately reducing the use of steroid therapy for allergy.
