Pyoderma (bacterial skin infection) is one of the most common dermatologic conditions seen in companion animals (particularly dogs) and often develops secondary to underlying issues such as allergies, ectoparasites, endocrine disorders, or skin trauma. Compromised skin barriers, excessive moisture, and disrupted immune responses can predispose pets to this condition, making accurate identification of contributing factors essential for effective management.

Join us in this live and interactive webinar - the second segment of a 4-part series on common and frustrating dermatologic conditions in dogs and cats - in which Dr. Pieper will create an understanding of how to best approach pets with bacterial skin infections including:

• The causes of pyoderma and the critical importance of identifying and managing them to achieve treatment success
• The range of clinical signs of pyoderma
• The diagnostics that should be performed to guide therapy
• The most updated treatment guidelines for pets with pyoderma
• When to consider systemic antibiotics and the tiered approach to selecting them
• Strategies to prevent recurrent skin infections
