Abstract
A retrospective study was performed on potbellied pigs with skin disease over a 22-year period. Thirteen of 190 pigs (7%) were examined by the Dermatology Service. Three different dermatoses were diagnosed: (1) sarcoptic mange, (2) yeast dermatitis of the eyelids (blepharitis) and periocular skin, and (3) presumed ichthyosis. Sarcoptic mange was cured with ivermectin injections. Yeast dermatitis was cured with a nystatin-containing ointment. Presumed ichthyosis was successfully controlled with applications of a moisturizing shampoo and moisturizing creme rinse.
