Abstract EN
The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the efficacy of topical skin lipid complex (SLC) in canine atopic dermatitis (AD).
Eight dogs with chronic AD and no improvement of main therapy in symptoms, erythema, lichenification, excoriation, and alopecia in the previous month were treated with SLC topically as adjunct therapy at lesion sites twice weekly for 12 weeks.
A statistically significant reduction (26.0%, P<0.05) in the third version of the Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index (CADESI-03) modification from baseline was recorded 6 weeks after treatment, with marked reduction in the erythema subscore (36.2%, P<0.005).
A significant reduction in excoriation and alopecia subscores was observed 6 weeks after treatment (39.9%, P<0.05 and 19.9%, P<0.05, resp.).
However, the lichenification subscore was not reduced significantly at 6 or 12 weeks.
These findings suggest that topical SLC may have therapeutic and clinical benefits in dogs with AD.
