“…EM was originally described in dogs and cats in 1983 10 and 1984 11 , respectively. Since the mid‐1980s, EM has been mentioned in a number of veterinary publications 12 –19 . The purpose of this paper is to summarize the findings of a retrospective case study on dogs and cats with EM at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CUCVM) from 1988 to 1996.…”

A review of case material from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine from 1988 to 1996 identified 20 dogs and one cat with definitive or presumed erythema multiforme. An additional 24 dogs and five cats with definitive or presumed erythema multiforme were found in the veterinary literature. Erythema multiforme accounted for only 0.40% and 0.11%, respectively, of all the canine and feline dermatology cases examined over a 9‐year period. German Shepherd dogs and Pembroke Welsh Corgis appeared predisposed. The condition was manifested as a vesiculobullous and/or ulcerative dermatosis in the majority of dogs and cats. In dogs, the most commonly affected body sites included the ventrum (especially axillae and groin), mucocutaneous junctions, oral cavity, pinnae, and footpads. Histopathological findings in cutaneous and mucocutaneous biopsy specimens were consistent with previously published criteria. In dogs, erythema multiforme occurred more frequently in patients receiving drug therapy. In cats, all cases of erythema multiforme were presumed to be drug related. Elimination of the associated trigger factor and supportive care usually resulted in resolution of the erythema multiforme within 1–2 weeks. Four dogs with severe idiopathic erythema multiforme were successfully managed with glucocorticoids or azathioprine.

“…There is little disagreement that the β‐lactamase susceptible penicillins are poor first choices for the treatment of canine pyoderma 29 , 36 , 37 , 45 –48 and that amoxycillin is a good choice for cat bite abscess in the cat 46 . 49 , 50 Problems arise with the use of co‐amoxiclav in canine pyoderma. The balance of expert opinion in reviews and textbooks is that there is some doubt over the clinical reliability of co‐amoxiclav, whatever the results of in vitro bacterial culture and sensitivity testing show 29 .…”

The properties and use of penicillins in the veterinary field, with special reference to skin infections in dogs and cats

The use of the penicillins in veterinary dermatology is discussed. An outline is provided of the main penicillins used in the veterinary ®eld. These include benzyl penicillin, penicillin V, ampicillin, amoxycillin, coamoxiclav and oxacillin. An increase in b-lactamase production among strains of Staphylococcus intermedius, the principal canine pathogen in pyoderma, has been seen in recent years. Thus only those penicillins with resistance to b-lactamase (co-amoxiclav or isoxazolyl penicillins) are likely to be of value in treating canine pyoderma. However, feline, porcine and equine staphylococcal dermatoses, and other veterinary dermatoses such as the actinomycoses, dermatophilosis and erysipelothrix, usually respond well to most penicillins, whether or not they resist b-lactamase.
