An open-label pilot study on an adsorbent mousse containing adelmidrol in client-owned cats with feline atopic skin syndrome and associated seborrhoea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Besides pruritus and skin lesions, cats with feline atopic skin syndrome (FASS) may have seborrhoea.

Hypothesis/objectives

The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether an adsorbent mousse containing tapioca starch, adelmidrol and a nonpharmacological antimicrobial complex could decrease FASS-associated seborrhoea in cats.

Animals

Seven client-owned cats with FASS were included based on the presence of seborrhoea and pruritus (>4 cm on the validated feline pruritus Visual Analog Scale [VAScat]), regardless of the concomitant administration of antiallergic drugs, provided that they were used for ≥1 month before study entry and maintained unchanged.

Materials and methods

Cats were evaluated weekly by owners and every other week by veterinary s
