Clinical Signs
The one female rat presented at the clinic with inflammed, peeling, ulcerated, and moist eczematous lesions and hair loss on both hind limbs.
Diagnosis
Pyoderma, etiology unknown.
Possible mite infestation.
Possible secondary bacterial or fungal infection.
Possible dietary allergy
Possible autoimmune disease process.
Treatment
Treatments and a change of diet were initiated and were altered based on the lack of response which ranged over a twelve week period. Trials of Ivermectin (for possible mite infestation) , broad spectrum antimicrobials (in the event a bacterial, yeast, or fungal infection was present) , prednisone (a corticosteroid to reduce swelling and inflammation) , Granulex spray (a topical agent used for drying) and finally antibiotic wraps were tried. The antibiotic wraps, due to the pain it caused the rat when having to remove them and reapply, required that a general anesthetic be given. Although new generation of tissue would periodly be seen with use of the wraps, this would not last and ulcerated lesions would return resulting in the rat’s constant licking due to discomfort.
Based on the continuing ulcerations, pain and discomfort of the rat, and the fact that to continue to anesthetise the rat for each removal and redress of the antibiotic wraps posed a risk to her health, the decision was made to amputate both hind legs in order to prevent further deterioration of her overall health.
