Authors

  • María S. Gonzalez Dominguez Universidad CES

Abstract

The skin pathologies of nutritional origin either due to alterations in intestinal absorption of some nutrients or genetic predispositions affecting its absorption; nutritional deficiencies may occur by poor development of both home and commercial diets; although at present are not as common for the regulation of food is balanced and demands by control agencies in each country. These conditions are related to some vitamins such as A, D, E and C, essential fatty acids, proteins, and certain minerals such as zinc. Among dermatological diseases and clinical signs include food allergies, dry and oily seborrhea, scaling, follicular plugging, hair loss and dull, dry coat, among others. The aim of this review is closer to the vet to the causes of dermatologic disease of nutritional origin clinical, since alterations of the skin in general are very common in the veterinary clinic for small animals and we need to recognize all the pathologies and treat appropriately.
