What are the clinical signs of pyoderma?
The most common clinical signs associated with pyoderma are papules or pustules that form on the skin. These lesions often look similar to “pimples” in humans. They are most often red and raised, with a white pus-filled center. Other signs include circular crusts, dry, flaky patches of skin, hair loss, and itching. In short-haired breeds, the coat may appear to protrude or “stick up” in areas, mimicking hives, or it may appear moth-eaten because of patchy hair loss.
