Dr. Duclos’ pioneering work led to the discovery of interdigital follicular cysts as one of the causes of pododermatitis in dogs, and he developed a special procedure using the C02 laser to help cure the cause of this condition. He has published several papers and has given many veterinarians hands-on training in these breakthrough surgical techniques.
