Plain-English summary
An 8-year-old male Rottweiler was brought in for skin problems caused by a condition called idiopathic sebaceous adenitis (ISA), which leads to hair loss and skin irritation. The veterinarian treated him with a combination of oclacitinib, a medication that helps with itching and inflammation, and low doses of prednisolone, a steroid that reduces inflammation. This treatment worked well, improving the dog's skin condition and comfort.
