<![CDATA[Skin is the markers of dog health and damage/lesions on the skin cause the dog appearance to be unattractive. One of the diseases that affect the appearance of dogs is dermatitis. Dermatitis is an infection that attacks the skin organs and tends to be difficult to cure, especially infections that occur in the abdominal area. Therefore, in its treatment, it is necessary to know the level of changes in skin lesions, as well as the patient's blood profile. This study aims to determine the histology of the skin and the total leukocyte profile of dogs with dermatitis and compared with non-dermatitis. 24 samples were taken from dogs with dermatitis and non-dermatitis. The samples form abdominal skin tissue and whole blood were taken by purposive sampling method. Histological images were examined using a microscope (400x) with the Haris haematoxilin eosin staining method, while the total leukocyte profile was measured using a hematology analyzer. The results showed that the clinical symptoms of dogs suffering from dermatitis were characterized by: itching, redness/rubor, hair loss/alopecia. Epidermal skin histology found: hyperkeratosis of the stratum corneum, necrosis, inflammatory cell, hydrophic and spogiotic degeneration of keratocyte cells, hyperplasia of the stratum granulosum. There is a segment s. scabiei in hair follicles, infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils, folliculitis and furunculosis in the dermis and hypodermis layers. While the leukocyte profile was found to increase, namely in dogs with dermatitis as much as 59% and non-dermatitis 50%. It can be concluded that dogs with dermatitis experience changes in histology and total leukocytes. However, in the future studies it is advisable to classify the types of dermatitis and differential leukocytes.]]>
