Evidence-based information about cat inflammatory skin disease: eosinophilic granuloma complex for animal welfare improvement.
EGC lesions including indolent ulcers, eosinophilic plaques, and granulomas cause pruritus, pain, and self-trauma. Cats with poorly managed EGC experience chronic oral or skin discomfort. Identifying and removing the allergic trigger where possible, combined with appropriate immunosuppressive therapy, provides the best long-term welfare outcome.
