  • Analysis of common etiological factors contributing to skin disease in young animals.
  • Synthesis of current recommendations for husbandry and therapeutic interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • Infectious agents (fleas, fungi) and genetic predispositions are primary causes of skin disease.
    • Environmental factors (nutrition, hygiene, bedding) significantly influence skin health.
    • Flea infestations pose a substantial risk of anemia in young animals.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive management of puppy and kitten skin conditions requires addressing infectious, hereditary, and environmental factors.
