A high-quality program that will drive you to the highest levels of competence in the industry"

This postgraduate certificate will review the most important aspects of dermatological in Equine Skin Disorders.

Due to the frequency of these pathologies, it is important to know in depth the different therapeutic options available. In the case of a skin laceration, the objective to be achieved, whenever possible, is the primary healing of the injured tissue. The prognosis of each case will depend on the structure involved, its location and degree of involvement.. The traumas with the worst prognosis are injuries affecting anatomical territories such as joints and tendons. Joint injuries are relatively frequent and have a poor prognosis; tendon lacerations show a lower incidence, with injuries affecting the flexor tendons presenting a serious prognosis. Both types of incidents, in the case of the sport horse, can mean the end of its sporting career and can even have a reserved vital prognosis. Good perioperative management and the use of an appropriate surgical technique will make it possible to preserve the patient's life and, in some cases, his or her return to sports practice at the previous level, since appropriate treatment will make it possible for the affected anatomical region to maintain normal functionality and for the esthetic results to be optimal.

Musculoskeletal infections in general, and those of bone and synovial structures in particular, pose a therapeutic challenge for the surgeon.

Viral and bacterial diseases encompass numerous pathologies that the equine clinician must know how to recognize and establish treatment guidelines. Fungal and parasitic diseases constitute the most frequent group of causes of skin alterations, being in many cases highly contagious between individuals, so it is important not only to identify these problems but also to establish adequate management guidelines to avoid their dissemination.

One of the most commonly observed skin problems today is allergy caused by mosquito bites and will be studied in depth in this module, along with another group of immune-mediated diseases. The topic of miscellaneous skin diseases includes those problems not covered in the previous sections, such as congenital skin problems.
