Web Chapter 75 Atopic dermatitis is diagnosed on the basis of appropriate signalment, history, and clinical findings and the exclusion of all other causes of pruritic skin disease. Treatment is aimed at decreasing the individual dog’s pruritic threshold. This often involves the elimination of any secondary bacterial and Malassezia infections; identification of any other concurrent allergic skin diseases; and judicious and prudent use of antihistamines, corticosteroids (topical and systemic), allergen-specific immunotherapy, and cyclosporine in various combinations (see Chapters 91 and 92).
