Other Disease / Therapy (1 of 3)

Owners may consider that because they are consulting you about the skin, other problems are not relevant.  There may even be features which affect the animal but are not recognised as abnormal by the owner.  The comment "All dogs scratch, don't they" is not uncommon.

We also need to find out what therapy has been given recently.  This may affect the pattern of disease present and could affect any tests we wish to carry out.
