This series of three papers describes a straight forward, systematic approach to the investigation of canine pruritus. Those dermatoses which regularly present with this symptom are discussed, with emphasis being placed on clinical signs, diagnosis and differential diagnosis. This second paper details the parasitic infestations and bacterial and clinically similar conditions which may result in pruritus.
