So, pets that have white fur and live in high UV exposure areas (like the southern US) are predisposed. Symptoms include redness, scaling, hair loss, and thickened, crusty skin. Commonly affected areas include the nose, ears, abdomen, and inner thighs. This condition can lead to more severe issues, including pre-cancerous lesions and aggressive skin cancer like squamous cell carcinoma. We will discuss ways to identify this disease and treatment options such as CO2 laser ablation, etc.00:00 – Intro 04:06 – Nasal Solar Dermatitis 06:32 – Classic Canine Solar Dermatitis 08:15 – Treatment Options for Solar Dermatitis 16:52 – Outro
