Plain-English summary
A group of 18 dogs with severe skin problems, known as eosinophilic dermatitis, were examined to see if they also had any related stomach issues. The dogs showed signs of red, inflamed skin, which can be quite uncomfortable. While the study looked at the connection between their skin and possible gastrointestinal (stomach) diseases, it didn't determine which specific stomach problems might be causing the skin issues. If your dog has similar symptoms, it’s important to discuss both skin and stomach health with your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Eosinophilic dermatitis as a cause of canine erythroderma is described, and its association with concomitant gastrointestinal disease is assessed in 18 dogs. The pathology of the skin lesions is described, but there is no conclusion reached as to which alimentary problems are most likely to be linked to their development.
