Even as a specialist, I still get cases that surprise me or change appearances. It can leave me doubting what the next step is. But, if you take a breath, it is amazing what can happen when you figure them out. Check out three cases that recently threw me for a loop.

1. A dog with weird paw pad ulcers

2. A cat with an ulcerated nasal planum

3. A service dog with non-pruritic alopecia and scaling

Hint: If you check out the YouTube channel, there are a lot of clinical photos!

Skin damage and cutaneous wounds can be frustrating and difficult to manage. With a growing world of antibiotic resistance and difficult cases of skin repair, alternative solutions are needed. Zarasyl combines the natural power of silica to optimize the wound healing environment. The product helps to moisturize while being semi-occlusive to allow oxygen through the barrier.

Julia Miller, DVM, DACVD is a frequent guest of the podcast and joins once again to discuss her experience with Zarasyl in dogs, cats and horses. This episode provides comedic relief with discussion of being a hand model and Labubus. But, most importantly, you will learn additional ways to treat wounds and manage dermatology cases with Zarasyl.
