1. WHY ARE ANIMAL DERMATOLOGY CLINIC BECOMING SO FAMOUS AND WHERE TO FIND ONE IN VANCOUVER guestproindex.com/why-are-animal-dermatology-clinic-becoming-so-famous-and-where-to-find-one-in-vancouver Dermatological problems are frequently observed in emergency rooms and inpatient units. Access to dermatological on-call services enhances the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment of common and occasionally life-threatening diseases. The dermatology on-call service in Langley Clinic dermatology was suspended for three months due to a lack of dermatologist availability. OBJECTIVES Langley Clinic Dermatologist goal was to see how this call suspension affected patient care and the necessity for a dermatology on-call service at our hospital, as seen by no dermatologists at our facility. METHODS The Langley clinic Dermatologist staff physicians and residents were surveyed, and the results were disseminated to all departments. Participation was solely at the discretion of the participants. The survey results were analysed using descriptive statistics. Over half of the respondents said that the lack of dermatological on-call service had a considerable or significant influence on their patients’ care. During the call stoppage, more than half of those polled said they did dermatology-related clinical work, and two- thirds said it made them feel uncomfortable or very uncomfortable. The majority of participants (94%) thought that an on-call dermatological service would be beneficial. The discontinuation of a dermatology on-call service has a substantial impact on no dermatologist practitioners, according to the findings. To keep this programme going, hospitals must realise the value of on-call dermatological consultations and support divisions.

Atopy is a skin condition that occurs when inhalant allergens are suspected. Pollen, mould spores, dust, and other allergens that might exist in the outside environment or even within the house, which they breathe in or absorb through the skin, can cause allergies in dogs and cats, just like people. An allergic reaction can also be triggered by the biting of some insects, such as mosquitoes and gnats. The symptoms are usually seasonal and get worse as the cat gets older. When people are allergic, they sneeze; when animals are allergic, they itch. The symptoms may usually be managed, if not completely removed, once they’ve been identified. Allergy testing can be done using an intradermal skin test to discover what the pet is allergic to. The allergen should be removed from the pet’s surroundings or avoided if at all feasible, and the pet should be treated with topical and systemic treatments and medicines. Some atopic dogs may benefit from allergy injections (immunotherapy). 2/2
