Uveodermatologic canine syndrome: case report

Abstract

Uveodermatologic syndrome can be identified because it occurs with signs of anterior or posterior uveitis, periocular and mucocutaneous junction’s alopecia and depigmentation signs. An uveodermatologic syndrome case in an 8 1/2 years old collie sheepdog is described. The dog had periorbital alopecia and depigmentation in mucoctaneous junctions. A biopsy of the injuries in the periorbital and nose region turned out in a definitive diagnose of uveodermatologic syndrome. Then, the clinical situation was solved by the use of a therapy with prednisolone.
