How is pyoderma diagnosed?
A diagnosis of pyoderma is often based on your pet’s clinical signs and medical history. Additional tests such as blood tests to determine if your pet has an endocrine disease such as hypothyroidism or hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s disease), skin culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests and fungal cultures may be performed. In cases associated with allergic dermatitis, tests may be performed to determine your dog’s specific allergies.
