ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Pyoderma is essentially a bacterial skin infection, and it's one of the most common skin conditions seen in dogs. Pyoderma is typically caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in dogs, though other bacterial species can also be involved. The key symptoms include redness, pustules, crusting, hair loss, and, of course, a lot of itching. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez, Dr. Cathy Campbell, and TVMDL's newest veterinary diagnostician Dr. Michael Piccione cover some of the causes of pyoderma and testing options practitioners should consider.
