Feline hyperesthesia syndrome (FHS) is known by several names, including rolling skin disease, neurodermatitis, neuritis, psychomotor epilepsy, and pru-ritic dermatitis of Siamese. As evidenced by these names and by the use of the term syndrome, FHS is not characterized as having a single etiology. In fact, it is often a diagnosis of exclusion. The differential diagnosis for FHS includes diseases related to the fields of dermatology, neurology, and behavior. Only after conditions relating to skin and the nervous system have been ruled out can this condition be labeled a behavior disorder.
