Original publication title: Use of Prednisolone, CBD and Behavior Modification as a Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis in a Canine: A Case Report

Plain-English summary
A dog with atopic dermatitis (a skin allergy) was treated with a combination of prednisolone (a steroid), CBD oil, and behavior modification techniques. The dog's unusual behaviors were likely linked to frustration from the skin condition. After careful evaluation, the treatment aimed to address both the skin issues and the behavioral problems. While the study suggests that CBD may help with these behaviors, it emphasizes the need for thorough medical assessments when dealing with such cases.

Abstract
In this patient, the stereotypical behavior was treated with CBD. Factors that contribute to stereotypic behavior are frustration and conflict. It is likely that the behavior began due to lack of care and unsatisfied motor drive. To date, potential efficacy has been reported in human dermatology; however, there have been no reports of CBD being used to treat CAD in dogs. These results highlight the importance of careful medical evaluations and treatment of a primary illness even when behavioral issues are prominent, as well as the potential use of CBD to treat stereotypical behaviors.
