Abstract
The treatment records of 30 dogs with lupoid onychodystrophy were evaluated retrospectively. Dogs were treated with fatty acid supplementation (n=18), doxycycline and niacinamide (n=12), tetracycline and niacinamide (n=10), pentoxifylline (n=6), prednisolone (n=5), azathioprine (n=1), clofazimine (n=1), or with combinations thereof. An excellent response was seen in almost half of the patients treated with tetra- or doxycycline in combination with niacinamide. Six of the dogs were maintained successfully on fatty acid supplementation. Spontaneous remissions and recurrences made evaluation of success rates difficult and emphasized the varied and often unclear etiology and natural course of the syndrome.Entities:
