dermatological problems at the University Veterinary Hospitals, Mannuthy and
Kokkalai during the period from May 2003 to April 2004. Among the 409
dermatological problems in canines, bacterial dermatitis was 12.71 per cent (52 .
cases).
Incidence of surface pyoderma, superficial pyoderma and deep pyoderma
were 26.92,53.85 and 19.23 per cent respectively. Surface pyoderma were more
in age groups between one and four years, superficial pyoderma were more in age
group below six months and deep pyoderma was more in age group between six
and 12 months.
The most frequent lesions were pustules, papules, erythema, alopecia and
epidermal collarette and distributed mostly on axilla, abdomen, flank and trunk
region.
A significant increase in eosinophil count, with decrease in monocytic
count and serum zinc level was observed in the affected dogs.
Out of the 26 bacterial isolates 21 (80.77 per cent) were gram positive and
five (19.23 per cent) were gram negative. Staphylococcus intermedius (12) was
the major pathogen isolated from canine pyoderma followed by Staphylococcus
aureus (8), Staphylococcus epidermidis (1), Escherichia coli (3), Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (1) and Klebsiella spp. (1).
Ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin and erythromycin were found to be the most
effective antibiotics against bacterial isolates of canine pyoderma, ampicillin and
cloxacillin the least effective.
Based on the antibiogram result, ciprofloxacin was used to treat ten cases
of pyoderma, enrofloxacin for nine cases and erythromycin was used to treat a
single case of pyoderma. All the cases recovered within a period of three weeks.
Six confirmed cases of pyoderma were treated with the paste of leaves of
Cynadon dactylon and all six cases shown good clinical improvement.
