Description
Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA) is a rare disease that affects dogs with dilute coat color (blue, fawn, etc.). This disease results from abnormal distribution of melanin granules and formation of macromelanosomes in the hair shaft. This weakens hair and causes them to break especially along the dorsum. Learn how to recognize this disease, useful diagnostics and treatment options on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast.TIMESTAMPSIntro 00:00What Is Color-Dilution Alopecia? 01:06Main Symptoms Of Color-Dilution Alopecia 02:02The Tricky Part Of Color-Dilution Alopecia 02:43The Disease Process 04:04The Complications 07:19Treatment Options 09:36Educating Pet Owners 12:44Outro 13:48
