Further diagnostic tests

This guide outlines advanced diagnostic tests available for identifying skin conditions in animals. Key procedures include bacterial, fungal, and tissue cultures aimed at assessing deeper lesions. Biopsy is indicated for suspected neoplasms, ulcerative lesions, and skin diseases that do not respond to treatment. Allergy testing and trial therapy can be essential for some cases. General tests such as CBC, serum biochemistry, and radiography also provide valuable insights for effective diagnosis and treatment planning in cases of unusual or serious skin diseases.

  1. Further diagnostic tests • Bacterial culture and sensitivity • Fungal/yeast culture • Tissue culture – biopsy sample for deeper lesions – can do bacterial an fungal • Biopsy – in cases of: • Suspected neoplasms • Ulcerative/vesicular/bullous lesions • Skin disease unresponsive to rational therapy • Unusual or serious skin disease, esp when the animal is systemically unwell • To make a diagnosis in a disease where expensive or potentially dangerous drugs are to be used • Allergy testing • Trial therapy • General tests such as CBC, serum biochemistry, endocrine screen, dynamic endocrine function tests, radiography, etc
