    The present study was carried out on 2,671 dogs presented at Department of Veterinary Medicine, DGCN COVAS, Palampur over a period of one year two months. Among these, 227 dogs were diagnosed with different dermatological disorders indicating 8.40 per cent overall hospital prevalence. Etiology-wise prevalence were bacterial 34 per cent, demodectic mange 18 per cent, fungal 17.62 per cent, flea 16 per cent, sarcoptic mange 3.52 per cent, atopic, cheyletiellosis, nutritional 2.6 per cent respectively and pemphigus 1.7 per cent. The maximum cases of dermatitis were recorded during the monsoon season (46.69%) followed by the winter season (22.46%). Sex-wise the males (75.33%) suffered more than females (24.66%). Overall age groups with the highest prevalence were those between 1 and 12 months (39.20%). Overall skin affections were more in Mongrels breed (34.36%) and German shepherd (13.22%).

In the case of bacterial dermatitis maximum number of dogs confronts erythema (89.74%) and in sarcoptic mange, demodectic mange, fungal dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis was characterized by pruritis 100, 95.12, 75.00, 83.33 per cent respectively. The maximum distribution of overall lesion on dorsal surfaces was seen in lumbar 56 (24.67%) and ventral surfaces on paw 60 (26.43%). Haemoglobin and HCT values reduced significantly in demodectic and sarcoptic mange. Significant leucocytosis was observed in sarcoptic mange, demodectic mange, bacterial and fungal dermatitis and significant lymphopenia observed in sarcoptic mange and bacterial dermatitis and lymphocytosis in fungal dermatitis. Neutropenia was observed significantly in fungal dermatitis. Eosinophilia was observed significantly in bacterial and fungal dermatitis. ALT was significantly higher in demodectic mange, sarcoptic mange, and bacterial dermatitis. AST was significantly higher in bacterial, fungal dermatitis, demodectic and sarcoptic mange. Hyperproteinaemia was observed in demodectic mange, sarcoptic mange, and fungal dermatitis. Staphylococcus spp. was most isolated bacteria and Amoxicillin clavulanic acid, proved to be the most effective antibiotic in treatment of bacterial dermatitis with 57.14 per cent sensitivity on antibiogram followed by Clindamycin (42.86%). In treatment group-I (Ivermectin) on the 28th day, there was moderate erythema, alopecia, crust lesions, mild papular lesions, on the 56th day, there was mild alopecia and mild crust, and on the 84th day, there was complete recovery.
