The inaugural AiANZ veterinary dermatology conference in Nara, Japan has just concluded.

This was the first collaboration between the dermatology chapter of the Australia and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS) and the Asian College of Veterinary Dermatology (AiCVD).

There were over 500 delegates and the conference was a sell out!

Dr Meng was part of the organising committee and was invited to give two lectures, one for the current dermatology residents from Australia and one on methicillin resistant staphylococci affecting dogs and cats. He also caught up with colleagues from Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland as well as dermatologists from Asia.

Dr Amelia presented an abstract of her research project and educated the audience on the antibiotic resistance patterns of enterococci observed in dogs from Western Australia.

Dr Allen attended many lectures and learned a lot from esteemed speakers from all around the world.

It was a great opportunity to update ourselves on the latest knowledge on veterinary dermatology so that we can use this new knowledge to help pets in WA.

To all vets, vet nurses and students, we are inviting you to join us in this inaugural event jointly organised by the Asian and Aust/NZ dermatology colleges!

We have world renowned speakers lecturing on key topics over 3 days! Dr Meng is proud to represent Australia in giving a lecture on resistant bacterial infections affecting dogs and cats.

We hope to see you there!

Happy birthday to Dr Amelia! Always the hard worker, Amelia spent her birthday consulting and helping pets with their skin diseases.

The derm team and Layla (one of Amelia’s beloved patient) celebrated Amelia’s party with a yochi lunch?

We are grateful to have Amelia in the team. She is kind and compassionate and always thrives to be the best vet to her patients.

We hope Amelia continues her celebration after work!

Hip hip hooray!

The very handsome Barclay has completed his induction phase to desensitise him against bee and wasp venom.

Barclay developed anaphylaxis to a bee sting and this desensitisation will help protect him against future severe reactions to bee stings!

To make it extra special, his vet mum owner brought the wonderful nurses an assortment of yummy food!

Well done Barclay ❤️

Horses can also suffer from allergies. This can manifest as itch (eg biting at skin or rubbing against the wall) and hives “urticaria”. The skin then becomes secondarily infected.

As a consequence, their ability to perform can be affected.

Felix saw Drs Meng and Amelia about one year ago and had allergy testing before he was started on an allergy vaccine.

Felix’s owner reports that the allergy vaccine along with allergen avoidance has helped reduced his itch, amount of anti itch medications and his skin quality has also improved.

Felix’s owner is happy that they can continue to perform at the highest level.

If you have a horse with skin diseases, you can consult with your vet to determine if allergy testing and vaccine can help.

Dr Meng is pleased to share that a research paper he coauthored has been accepted for publication.

The paper can be found at
https://journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.1128/spectrum.03187-25

Antibiotic resistance is a big problem affecting dogs and cats with bacterial skin and ear infections.

Apart from working in the clinic to reduce antibiotic use and therefore the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, new research into new antibiotic options can help treat the most resistant bacteria.

As in human medicine, we are seeing more MRSP and MRSA infections. These can pose a serious health risk to in contact pet owners and veterinary staff.

If you have a pet that has or suspect to have resistant bacteria eg no improvement to routine antibiotics, we can help with diagnosis and treatment.

A true testament to the saying “real doctors treat more than one species!”

Apart from treating dogs and cats, veterinary dermatologists are also trained in other species including horses, production animals (eg pigs, sheep and cattle), pocket pets (eg rabbits, hamsters) as well as wildlife!

Congrats Dr Amelia 👏👏👏

Maisy the amazing truffle sniffing Labrador from truffle trackers.

When Maisy, an older prized truffle sniffing Lab suddenly developed large ulcerative masses around her mouth, her owner and vet were concerned that these could be aggressive skin tumours/cancers. When initial diagnostics were inconclusive, Maisy’s vet referred her to Perth Animal Dermatology (PAD).

Maisy’s dedicated owner drove several hours from Bridgetown and further diagnostics were performed at PAD. Thankfully these results confirmed Maisy has an autoimmune disease called “Sterile pyogranuloma”.

We initiated treatment and the masses resolved within 14 days!

Maisy’s owner is very relieved and Maisy is on track to continue her amazing truffle sniffing work next month. Her owner even sent us a video of Maisy sniffing out truffles!

Maisy’s case showed us that not every older dog with rapidly growing masses have cancer! If initial diagnostics are inconclusive or the disease is unusual and rare, PAD can help to formulate further diagnostics to attain a definite diagnosis.

Today, we celebrated Dr Amelia’s last day of her 3 years dermatology residency.

After 5 years of vet school, Dr Amelia wanted to learn more about veterinary dermatology. She then spent one year as a dermatology intern before embarking on another 3 years of residency.

Along the way, Dr Amelia has seen more than one thousand new consults (and many more rechecks), attained membership in small animal medicine (by examination), visited numerous vet dermatology clinics worldwide and within Australia, written two papers for publications (one on a wombat! Another an Australia first research paper on vancomycin resistant enterococci affecting dogs).

After 9 years of studying, she only needs to pass her exams in 2027 to become a veterinary dermatologist!

We are so proud of her perseverance and dedication to her patients. We are thankful that Dr Amelia will continue to consult with Perth Animal Dermatology.

A big congrats to Dr Amelia! Hip Hip Hooray!
