Recurrent zinc‐responsive dermatosis in a Siberian Husky

Abstract

ABSTRACT Zinc‐responsive dermatosis was diagnosed in a Siberian Husky. Oral therapy with zinc sulphate (50 mg essential zinc) resulted in complete clinical recovery, proven by histological examination after one month. Discontinuation of a one‐year‐lasting treatment resulted in relapse with identical skin lesions within two months, but resumption of the therapy once more resulted in complete healing.
