It is easy to focus solely on dermatologic issues when they are the primary complaint, but other aspects of the patient’s health are also important. This includes, but is not limited to, a history of sneezing, coughing, runny eyes, excessive thirst, urination, hunger, panting, vomiting, diarrhea, or pain. This information can help focus the differential list and direct diagnostic testing. For example, a 12‐year‐old dachshund with recurrent pyoderma, polyuria, and polydipsia would be suggestive of hyperadrenocorticism. Another example would be a 1.5‐year‐old golden retriever with a history of ear infections and loose stool, which would suggest food hypersensitivity.
