    A 4-year-old Nigerian Dwarf goat presented with a long history of nonpruritic, scaly skin noticed since it was acquired at 3 weeks of age. Dermatologic examination revealed widespread large, white, nonadherent scales covering the entire skin. Histopathologic findings were characterized by noninflammatory compact diffuse orthokeratotic hyperkeratosis. Oral vitamin A therapy resulted in an approximate 85% reduction of the scaling with no reports of adverse effects. This is the first reported case of ichthyosis in the goat. Oral vitamin A may be beneficial for the management of caprine ichthyosis.

    Cutaneous calcinosis of the paws in cats is a rare skin disorder. In this report, we summarize our experience of two feline cases affected with this disorder. Those cats showed nodular structures on both hindlimb of pads that formed ruptured abscesses, and both cats also had chronic renal failure. In case 1, we removed several stones (4~2 mm), from the ruptured abscess which were mainly composed of proteins and calcium phosphate. Histopathologically, case 1 was diagnosed as local calcinosis. In case 2, creamy and pasty exudate fluid was observed emanating the ruptured abscess. A smear of the exudate fluid showed a chalky-like appearance on a slide, which was histopathologically indicated to be local calcinosis.
