Abstract
A six-year-old, spayed female West Highland White Terrier presented with pruritic behavior mainly on the trunk, which appeared just after grooming. A small dose of less irritable products were used in her ordinary grooming. Histopathologic findings of the skin showed superficial perivascular dermatitis along with spongiosis and lymphocytes infiltration in the epidermis. The serum allergen-specific immunoglobulin E test (Allercept Panel Test) revealed no abnormalities. Extrinsic stimuli-induced dermatitis was considered, and the dog treated with highly-concentrated, artificial carbon dioxide bathing instead of shampoo washing. This was successful and hair regrowth was observed.
