Hello Raquel.

I think this is a BRILLIANT question. The literature is indeed mixed for the use of prazosin in these case. For this reason I have set up a live journal club/roundtable discussion on this exact topic! We will also focus a lot on this at the Q&A for the LUTD course. I know many feline specialists are still using it, so we will discuss the literature in detail with Danielle Gunn Moore.

The session will take place on the Dec 21, 2022 at 8pm. The session will be recorded so members will be able to watch back.

I hope that helps.

Scott 🙂

Hello Leonique!

I hope you are well. I think we answered most of the questions during the Q&A, but I forgot a couple of yours! I have popped the answers from Hilary bellow:

1. Malassezia hypersensitivity is diagnosed by demonstrating IgE antibodies to Malassezia either by skin test or serum allergy testing. these dogs tend to be very pruritic when they have a Malassezia infection.
Although desensitisation to malassezia is possible it is not as effective as desensitisation to environmental allergens
2. Miliary dermatitis in cats can be a result of flea/food or environmental allergies and warrants a work up for the underlying cause. Treatment of the clinical signs can be achieved with prednisolone or ciclosporin.

Hope that helps.

Scott 🙂
