or feline flea allergy dermatitis or FAD

allergy to fleas (Ctenocephalides felis, which is the cat flea, it seems the species involved) remains the most common hypersensitivity in both dogs and cats.
dermatitis is a papular-crusted, very itchy due precisely to raise awareness parasitized by a person in respect of certain substances in the saliva of the flea: indeed, it contains polypeptides, amino acids, aromatic compounds and other substances, all with a strong antigenic power.
The importance of this dermatitis is due both to the same consequences that the risk of allergy to the fact that may increase other pre-existing conditions. For example, the DAP tends to aggravate atopy and indeed the two disorders often occur together. In addition, the dry, scaly skin may intensify the itching, and the resulting injuries and related infections (pyoderma) which involves the scratching. It should also be noted that in cases of multiple allergies, fleas that is the major cause of treatment failure or recurrence of symptoms.
important to remember that this type of dermatitis has no predilection for race or sex, but with regard to age, although the cats that dogs can develop at any time, it is very rare that the clinical signs appear in animals under 6 months of age, the onset is in fact more common between 3 and 5 years.
A feature of this dermatitis on the location is that the lesions which arise are typically confined to the back and croup, on the surface of the caudal-medial thighs, ventral abdomen, hips and neck.
are not rare, as I mentioned above, even piotraumatica dermatitis (hot spots), pyoderma, alopecia and seborrhea secondary DAP
in cats can be found also indolent ulcers , eosinophilic plaques, eosinophilic granuloma, and various combinations of these three lesions with lymphadenopathy in the regions concerned.
In areas characterized by cold winters this dermatitis has a typical seasonal pattern with peaks in summer and autumn, while in areas with warm climates and where the infestation persists domestic premises, the 'hypersensitivity to flea bites may not have this characteristic pattern, despite actually growing, however, are found more easily in summer / autumn.
As for the differential diagnosis should be considered for the dog food hypersensitivity, atopy, hypersensitivity to drugs, one from intestinal parasites, and finally the folliculitis.
contrast to the cat (which often occurs in the form of miliary or disseminated in the neck) in addition to the above-mentioned conditions for the dog, other parasites are also excluded: mite (Trombicula, Otodectes, Cheiletiella) lice, and then by dermatophytes dietary imbalances such as biotin deficiency and / or fatty acids, and of course the syndrome of eosinophilic granuloma (although this entity may also be a consequence of DAP).
The final diagnosis in each case is based principalmente su l'anamnesi, l'esame fisico, il saggio cutaneo intradermico con antigeni di pulce e ovviamente la risposta alla terapia.
In genere già la distribuzione e l'aspetto delle lesioni cutanee, come abbiamo detto, sono molto indicative.
E poi chiaramente la presenza delle pulci o comunque delle loro deiezioni (visto che di solito spendono la maggior parte della loro vita lontano dall'ospite) è un ulteriore ausilio diagnostico.
Il sintomo più evidente e di conseguenza più frequentemente rilevabile dal proprietario (prima ancora che si sviluppino le lesioni) è il prurito: l'animale si morde nervosamente e si lecca senza sosta, particolarmente nella regione pelvica.
La gravità delle lesioni che si svilupperanno in seguito dipenderà dalla reattività del soggetto e dalla sua esposizione ai parassiti; ma comunque la classica allergia da pulci inizierà con la formazione di lesioni a forma di cuneo alla base della coda, estendendosi quindi anche sul bordo caudale delle cosce e finendo per interessare altresì l'addome e la regione inguinale.
Arrossamento (eritema), perdita di pelo (alopecia), presenza di scaglie e papule sono i segni tipici della malattia. L'iperpigmentazione e l'ispessimento skin (lichenification) pelvic limb and inguinal region are typical of chronic allergy to fleas.
And finally we come to therapy. It seems obvious, but the first thing to consider is to eliminate the root cause of the problem, or fleas. So the first action must involve the control of these parasites, through the processing environment (where possible) and the animal, through the use of different principals (insecticide sprays, spot on, in shampoo, etc..) Now available .
now you'll be spoiled for choice, but not to risk to spend money unnecessarily, please contact your veterinarian, who will be able to recommend one or ones best suited to the situation of your pet: be careful to consider the fact that some products are good for the dog are dangerously toxic to cats !
The second phase of therapy aims to control the consequences of allergy, with itching or lesions resulting from scratching (traumatic), but especially those due to the release of substances mediating inflammation ( histamine, serotonin, etc.). and then those given by secondary infections (pyoderma).
From quanto appena detto si deduce che sono importantissimi gli antiallergici per eccellenza ovvero i glucocorticoidi, e laddove questi risultassero insoddisfacenti si può ricorrere anche agli antistaminici. Fondamentale è anche una terapia antibiotica mirata a controllare le infezioni cutanee secondarie ad autotraumatismo e favorite da una cute alterata dalle reazioni allergiche unita alla somministrazione di integratori a base di acidi grassi insaturi e vit.E, per facilitare la guarigione delle lesioni cutanee e il ristabilirsi dell'equilibrio dermatologico.
Un capitolo a parte meriterebbe poi la terapia iposensibilizzante, ma siccome è ancora in fase di studio e dunque dai costi proibitivi, senza contare che per il momento i risultati sono troppo controversi per poter essere adottata su vasta scala, eviterò di creare illusioni in merito.

Stray, feral colonies and legislative implications

Dopo una prolungata pausa estiva, dovuta anche a seri problemi col PC, volevo riprendere a scrivere proprio pubblicando delle riflessioni in merito ad un articolo apparso sul numero di Summa n°6 e scritto da Paola Fossati e Franco Pezza (responsabili della sezione Medicina Legale Veterinaria del Dipartimento di Scienze Cliniche Veterinarie dell'Università statale di Milano) che ha per tema la questione del randagismo e le definizioni legislative dei termini "Stray" and "cat colony."
We will see below that, although in common parlance often uses the term stray, as it does for dogs, even to define a cat without owner (or suspicious), and in reality things are not so simple .
The vocabulary and the common law in fact are not always fully converged, and this often creates misunderstandings, doubts and difficulties in interpretation of applicable laws.
In this case the legislation in question is the Law n.281/91 whose theme is precisely the prevention of stray dogs, which applies to enforce the need to identify in advance which animals il legislatore intenda riferirsi in concreto, ovvero in quali casi un animale d'affezione assuma propriamente lo status di "randagio".
Va ricordato a questo proposito che nella norma giuridica il termine randagio indica propriamente solo una condizione particolare in cui si viene a trovare il cane, ma non si estende mai al gatto.
Facendo un passo indietro bisogna far riferimento, in ossequio all'etimologia del termine, al precedente D.P.R. n. 320, ovvero al Regolamento di Polizia Veterinaria del 1954 (art.85, capo V - Rabbia), in cui per randagio si intende il cane trovato vagante e quindi non tenuto al guinzaglio e altresì privo della prescritta museruola (si noti che manca ogni riferimento alla presenza del proprietario).
In fact in the original text the term stray does not appear as such, but that it should be understood that periphrasis is confirmed by subsequent explanatory circulars issued regarding the prevention of rabies, which reads:
-l 'health action against rabies made it possible to achieve tangible benefits, through the capture of an increasing number of dogs "stray" caught;
-particular attention should be paid to hook up to the service dogs "stray", which is the main, if not and the only fundamental factor of contagion rabid;
-to get more tangible results requires that the service is conducted mainly at night.
In the vocabulary of the Italian language, the word is said about a stray animal without an owner, while the study etymology connects the word evil to stray, leading to a negative evaluation and danger.
Also in common language becomes the condition of the stray pets that have no owner or holder and, therefore, some say the cat.
also due to the definition of a stray cat, however, is improper. In fact, the cat can not be in the same legal status of the dog "stray" as may be wandering without a leash or muzzle. But you can not stray even define in the usual sense of the word and, because you can almost always find an owner or keeper responsible, be treated as the owner under Article .931 CC
not part of the behavioral habits of the cat, fact, wander aimlessly in urban areas or on a public road. This attitude may possibly occur only in the transitional stage of transfer from one owner to another in search of more favorable environmental conditions with regard to housing and feeding. In this sense, the law also expressed n.281/91, calling the cats "wild animals".
A particular situation then it deserves separate mention is the so-called feral colonies: in towns it is possible to identify populations of cats (feral colonies precisely defined), who seem to live in a state of natural liberty, but which are almost always assisted by private citizens who take charge of feeding and keep them (in Rome are sometimes identified as "Gattari s).
They also settled preferably in places belonging to certain social subjects.
When "colonize" the condominiums for example, cats find themselves in environments managed by an administrator (the building), which can then be identified as having responsibility, in spite of himself! Or
colonies occupy appliances an industrial establishment, under the management responsibility of the owner or administrator of the system.
If you live in public buildings, is one who has the legal responsibility of those to be vested with powers of the state of well-being of cats, while in the case where there are complex hospital or other health or social care, colonies invest directly the responsibility of the administrative director of health or property.
Also, if colonies are present on construction sites directly empower the legal representative of the company. Finally, again by way of example, colonies can be found in free public lands, not circumscribed, and in this case becomes legitimate intervention forced the Administration.
In conclusion in the management of feral colonies is almost always possible, contrary to what happens to stray dogs, correctly identify the owner or keeper responsible, that while the law takes on them (for example, to oppose restrictive measures put in place by the health authorities), similar but must also be borne by the conditions of well-being of those parts of the colonies and for any damage caused by them (the duty holder responsible).
Ultimately, you can have two situations:
- the owner / keeper is known and is therefore responsible for any damage caused by the same (omitted case), unless the chance of Article. 2052 CC and beneficiary of the measures of restrictive measures Animal health, animal welfare standards and standards of hygiene and soil dwelling;
- the owner / holder can not be identified and then no one has the right to oppose the enforcement action by the competent authority.

As can be seen even in everyday speech we use interchangeably for both the dog and the cat the term stray, in fact we make a suggestion as well as with regard to legislative, since the two species are subject to different regulations, including the behavioral standpoint, since dog and cat do not look alike at all regarding how to go about their lives and the implications that follow: the long- famous feline independence in fact, combined with attendance at a limited area, are in fact the cat a permanent entity and therefore much easier to control the dog, when left to itself.

dog because by its nature tends to be organized in schools, in order to get food, they can also become dangerous, not to mention the fact that they tend to roam over an area much più ampio e difficilmente circoscrivibile rispetto a quello delle cosiddette colonie feline. Attenzione dunque a non fare di tutta un erba un fascio, dal momento che la condizione di libertà per il cane e per il gatto comporta notevoli differenze...
