OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of blend electrolysis for hair removal in dogs.
ANIMALS
We studied 3 healthy adult laboratory beagles.
PROCEDURE
Small areas of palmar interdigital skin on the paws were treated with electrolysis using 6 procedures within 3 mo. The procedures were conducted under mild sedation and local anesthesia with lidocaine. Hair coat density was subjectively assessed by comparing pre-treatment dermoscopic images of the same areas.
RESULTS
The average procedure time was 55 min. There were minimal complications. The procedures were well tolerated and resulted in either reduced hair density or complete alopecia. This effect persisted for at least 3 mo following the last treatment. One dog, examined 21 mo after treatment, exhibited a minimally distinguishable hypotrichotic area with slightly shorter and sparser hair.
CONCLUSION
Blend electrolysis is a feasible, though time-intensive, method for temporary hair removal in dogs.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Further research is required to investigate the efficacy and effort-to-result ratio of this method for permanent hair removal in dogs of different breeds and across different body areas.
目的
本研究调查了混合电解法用于犬脱毛的可行性和有效性。
动物
我们研究了3只健康的成年实验用比格犬。
步骤
在3个月内，使用6种方法对犬爪掌指间的小面积皮肤进行电解治疗。治疗在轻度镇静和利多卡因局部麻醉下进行。通过比较相同区域治疗前的皮肤镜图像，主观评估毛发密度。
结果
平均治疗时间为55分钟。并发症极少。这些治疗方法耐受性良好，导致毛发密度降低或完全脱毛。这种效果在最后一次治疗后至少持续3个月。一只犬在治疗后21个月接受检查时，出现了一个极难区分的毛发稀疏区域，毛发略短且稀疏。
结论
混合电解法是一种可行的犬临时脱毛方法，尽管耗时较长。
临床意义
需要进一步研究来调查该方法对不同品种犬不同身体部位进行永久性脱毛的疗效和性价比。
