![]() In fact, a recent study about hormonal dysfunction found that LPP is associated with androgen excess (testosterone or DHEAS), whereas FFA is related to androgen deficiency (32.1% of patients). Serum hormonal levels are not consistently altered in women diagnosed with FFA, although this does not exclude a potential hormonal involvement by a local mechanism. The melanocyte of the hair follicle might be an antigenic target in FFA this is supported by the lower melanocyte count found in the upper follicle in lesional skin from FFA patients (not seen in LPP). A decrease to the absence of labelling with Ki-67, a proliferative marker, and a downregulation of the hair follicle epithelial progenitor cell marker keratin 15, within the bulge area, have already been described in LPP. This damage would include the bulge area, where stem cells are placed, leading to a loss of the regenerative potential of the hair follicle and its total destruction. In FFA, a Th1-biased cytotoxic T cell autoimmune reaction against the hair follicle in the infundibular region and, to a more variable degree, the isthmic region, seems to play a major part. This bulge immune privilege collapse may be induced by IFN-γ. ![]() When a need arises, a NAMC veterinarian is on call in case of emergency examinations.The loss of the immune privilege of the hair follicle would be the starting point in the development of scarring alopecias.

Rat and Mouse PoisonsĬoumarins (D-Con) are rat and mouse poisons that affect the blood’s ability to clot. If sufficient neurological toxin has been ingested, sudden death may be the only sign. ![]() Symptoms of toxicity include apprehension excessive salivation, urination, and defecation tremors seizures hyper-excitability depression and pinpoint pupils. Additionally, using a flea control product that is intended for dogs on a cat can also result in poisoning. These include insecticidal aerosols, dips, and certain shampoo products.

Here is a list of some of the most common spring plants and their toxicities… so you know how to pet-proof your garden and keep your pet safe. Gardening season is here! Plant bulbs are just as excited to break through the ground to add some color to our yards as we are to see some greenery!
