Symmetric lupoid onychitis/onychodystrophy (SLO) is a rare autoimmune disease of dogs. In this disease, the immune system, which usually keeps the body safe from germs and cancer cells, decides the connections between the claws and the skin should be attacked. This leads to easily damaged and ripped off claws in affected dogs. In this episode, veterinary dermatologist Dr. Brittany Lancellotti discusses why this occurs, what treatments may be recommended, and what to expect during the treatment process.  Episode page and transcript: https://www.yourvetwantsyoutoknow.com/SLO   The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards - Conservation mission: https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/conservation.php The 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photography Award winners: https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/competition/competition-2022-winners.php   Connect with Your Vet!
