Patient: Simba
Condition: Pemphigus foliaceusBefore
Simba was a 5 year old Chow Chow that initially presented with a total body pustular eruption with almost complete hair loss and crusting noted. She was diagnosed with pemphigus foliaceus through biopsies of the skin. Simba was a very difficult management case but we were ultimately able to get her into remission with a combination of triamcinolone (a steroid), azathioprine, and Atopica (cyclosporine). She was one of the cases of pemphigus that required major immunesuppression and combination therapy for control.After
