How is canine hyperkeratosis treated?

Answer by  srainne (2597)

I think the type of treatment your vet goes with (or suggests to you) will really all depend on the affected area. The vet may suggest chromium or zinc treatments, kerasolv gel, hydrocortisone cream or even laser treatments. The thing to keep in mind is that this will be a lifelong issue to be addressed.

It has three stage first distemper, second vomiting, and third is neurological, where the dog will get seizures and tremors, etc...
