DESCRIPTION

Performance of the DOUXO® S3 SEB shampoo and subsequent mousse applications (CEVA, France) was assessed over three weeks in 18 seborrheic dogs in a prospective, controlled study. The protocol combining shampoo and leave-on mousse applications resulted in a significant clinical improvement,  the maintenance of skin hydration, initial decrease and further restoration in hair lipids.

INTRODUCTION

Seborrhea is frequent and time-consuming1
Shampoos are often effective2 but
• procedure takes time
• are often hard to realize
• a combination of different types is often necessary
Ophytrium3, a purified natural ingredient, has a high tolerance and a simultaneous threefold action on the skin barrier: it strengthens the mechanical barrier, limits the adhesion and biofilm formation and soothes the skin.
Seboliance4, a natural plant extract, has seboregulating properties.

OBJECTIVE

Evaluate the protocol combining applications of one shampoo and subsequent mousses containing Ophytrium and Seboliance (DOUXO® S3 SEB, Ceva Santé Animale, Libourne, France) in seborrheic dogs on:
• tolerance
• performance: clinical score (CS), pruritus, skin surface cytology, natural moisturizing factors content (NMFs), hair surface lipids content (HL)

MATERIALS & METHODS

Animals

18 adult dogs (griffons, Bruno du Jura and Bleu de Gascogne)
• idiopathic greasy seborrhea
• same diet/environment prior and during the study
• randomly allocated in placebo (plain water – 6 dogs) or test (12 dogs) group

The study aimed to evaluate the tolerance, performance and effect on hair lipids and skin hydration of a protocol combining applications of one shampoo and subsequent mousses containing plant extracts (Ophytrium and Seboliance) in dogs with an undiagnosed chronic greasy keratinisation disorder.

Erythemato-ceruminous otitis externa (ECOE) is the most common type of otitis in dogs and is generally associated with bacterial and/or yeast infections.

Atopic dermatitis is a form of allergy of genetic origin accompanied by itching, during which the animal more easily develops allergies to environmental factors, usually pollen and dust mites.

Conjunctivitis in atopic dogs has already been described yet is rarely observed, and likely underdiagnosed in practice.
