Patologías dermatológicas de origen nutricional en los pequeños animales: una revisión

Abstract

The skin pathologies of nutritional origin either due to alterations in intestinal absorption of some nutrients or genetic predispositions affecting its absorption; nutritional deficiencies may occur by poor development of both home and commercial diets; although at present are not as common for the regulation of food is balanced and demands by control agencies in each country. These conditions are related to some vitamins such as A, D, E and C, essential fatty acids, proteins, and certain minerals such as zinc. Among dermatological diseases and clinical signs include food allergies, dry and oily seborrhea, scaling, follicular plugging, hair loss and dull, dry coat, among others. The aim of this review is closer to the vet to the causes of dermatologic disease of nutritional origin clinical, since alterations of the skin in general are very common in the veterinary clinic for small animals and we need to recognize all the pathologies and treat appropriately.

Incumplimiento en el contenido nutricional de alimentos importados para mascotas en Costa Rica

“…El exceso de carbohidratos (CHOs) simples ocasiona cuadros de diarrea, flatulencias, hinchazón, trastornos digestivos y diabetes en perros y gatos, por su capacidad limitada para digerirlos (Buff et al, 2014). La obesidad es una consecuencia asociada al exceso de CHOs simples en la dieta, debido a una ingesta mayor de calorías, que mantiene niveles altos de glicemia en sangre, que aumentan el riesgo de desarrollar tejidos resistentes a insulina (González Domínguez & Bernal, 2011;Macri et al, 2017;Suarez et al, 2012).…”

Clinical Management of Lethal Acrodermatitis Syndrome in a Bull Terrier

“…It shows skin lesions characterised by parakeratotic hyperkeratosis, particularly of the extremities and areas of increased friction, growth retardation, eating difficulties, splayed digits (by abnormal keratinisation), skin, nails (dystrophy and paronychia) (McEwan et al, 2003;Smits et al, 1991) and paws affliction, as well as increased susceptibility to bacterial infections (gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and skin) and behavioural abnormalities (McEwan et al, 2000). Occasionally dogs with LAD may have a hard arched palate and abnormal body posture (Gonzalez, 2016). Homozygously affected puppies show clinical signs in the first weeks of life (Outerbridge, 2013) and usually die or have to be euthanised before adulthood (7 months) due to intractable infections (usually bronchopneumonia and sepsis) (Rostaher, 2014).…”

“…Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, physical examination findings, and histopathological findings (Rostaher, 2014). The characteristic histological finding is marked diffuse epidermal/follicular parakeratosis; superficial perivascular dermatitis can be found in all species (Gonzalez, 2016). The objective of this study is to relate the history, clinical signs, histopathological characteristics and treatment response in a bull terrier dog with a diagnosis of lethal acrodermatitis.…”

“…Además, los procesos enzimáticos en los que interviene el Zn, tiene su acción principal en los tejidos de alta velocidad de formación de células, de allí que su deficiencia perjudique el crecimiento de los terneros, disminuya la producción de espermatozoides en los carneros y toros y favorezca las enfermedades de la piel (González, 2016).…”
