Abstract

Background: Feline allergic skin disease presents a diagnostic challenge due to the potentially subtle and widely variable clinical presentations known as feline reaction patterns. Cats are often secretive in their pruritic behaviours and so, unlike with canine disease, the clinical history for a cat may not give insight into the presence of pruritus. Once a diagnosis of feline allergic disease is achieved, there are several treatment options available; however, the majority have not been studied extensively in cats and many represent off-license use.

Aim of the article: This article outlines the relevant steps in making a diagnosis of feline atopic skin syndrome and reviews the treatment options available.

猫特应性皮肤综合征的诊断和治疗

背景：猫过敏性皮肤病是一种诊断难题，因为它的临床表现可能很微妙，而且千变万化，被称为 "猫反应模式"。猫的瘙痒行为通常很隐蔽，因此，与犬科疾病不同，猫的临床病史可能无法让人了解瘙痒的存在。一旦确诊为猫过敏性疾病，就有几种治疗方法可供选择；但是，大多数治疗方法都没有在猫身上进行过广泛研究，而且很多都是非处方用药：本文概述了诊断猫过敏性皮肤综合症的相关步骤，并回顾了现有的治疗方案。
