Abstract:
There are a great many disorders that can affect young animals in addition to those with a hereditary component. Still, it is important to consider genodermatoses whenever a young animal presents with dermatological lesions. Fortunately, most dermatological conditions that affect young pups and kittens carry a good prognosis for diagnosis and full recovery. It is, however, important to correctly identify those animals with a poor prognosis if for no other reason than to offer supportive genetic counseling to minimize the risk of the trait being perpetuated.
