Bullous pemphigoid is an uncommon skin condition that affects dogs, and is characterized by the appearance of fluid or pus filled blisters, and severe open sores on the skin and/or mucus-lined tissue of the mouth. Bullous pemphigoid requires initial aggressive treatment, and may be fatal if left untreated.Bullous pemphigoid is found in two forms: the common blister (bullous) form and the relatively rare long-term (chronic) form. The bullous form is characterized by open sores, short-term blisters, and circular lesions on the top layer of skin. Called epidermal collarettes, they are characterized by peeling edges, are circular in shape, and have a rim. The onset is often sudden and severe, and distribution of these symptoms is widespread across the head, neck, abdomen, groin, feet, and mucous membrane (the moist tissues lining the nose and mouth). Dogs that are severely affected may also exhibit lack of appetite (anorexia) and depression. The Treatment varies depending on severity of symptoms and the possibility of secondary infection, due to bacterial infection for example. Bullous pemphigoid condition requires immunosuppressive agents, which slow or halt the immune system’s activity, and gentle cleansing soaks with antibacterial shampoo and water. Antibiotics may be necessary to treat bacterial infections that develop as a secondary result of this skin condition. Continued hospital treatment is only necessary if serious symptoms remain throughout the body (systematic) or secondary infections occur. Even with prompt and effective treatment, the long term prognosis for this disease is not good

Erosions are shallow defects in the upper layers of the skin. Erosions can be quite painful, but tend to heal quickly if they are protected and the underlying cause for them is eliminated. Ulcers are deeper defects in the skin, where the surface layers are compromised completely. Ulcers require careful wound care to prevent infection, and tend to heal slowly. Erosive or ulcerative dermatoses are a group of dissimilar skin disorders, characterized by the presence of erosions or ulcers.The symptoms will depend on the cause. However, they can include one or more of the following:•Erosions or ulcers; they may be found anywhere on the body
•Single or multiple lesions lesions may be inflamed (indicated by redness)
•May see lesions over pressure points (such as the skin overlaying the knees, elbows, and ankles)
•May have dried discharge on the surface of a skin lesion (known as a crust), or may have moist discharge
•Hair loss (alopecia)
•May have loss of pigment in skin (depigmentation) and/or loss of hair•Burns
THE CAUSES ARE THE FOLLOWING I LISTED BE LOW •Snake bites
•Insect bites
•Drug reactions
•Viruses
•Autoimmune disease
•Inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis)
•Canine juvenile cellulitis (puppy strangles)
•Metabolic disease
•Hyperactive adrenal glands
•Toxic epidermal necrolysis (usually medication-induced)
•Pemphigus - an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the skin
Keeping eroded or ulcerated skin clean and protectEd is key to healing. If the skin problem is not severe, your dog will be treated on an outpatient basis.If the cause is known, specific drug therapies may be prescribed to treat it. Your veterinarian will tailor a management program that is best for your dog's individual case.
Hydrotherapy treatment can be both soothing and healing for your dog. This may be achieved with either a whirlpool bath, or by spraying cool water under pressure against the ulcerated skin. Ask your dog's veterinarian first to be sure that hydrotherapy is appropriate for your dog's condition and will not exacerbate the problem.
