Our experienced veterinarians will work to identify the underlying causes of your pet’s dermatological issue and provide effective treatments to alleviate their discomfort.
Signs that Your Pet Has a Skin Issue
It’s not always easy to determine when a pet’s itching or scratching requires veterinary attention, but there are certain signs and symptoms that may indicate a dermatology appointment is necessary. If your pet is exhibiting any of the following behaviors or symptoms, it’s time to call us for a dermatology evaluation:
- Continuous scratching or biting at the skin
- Persistent face rubbing against furniture or the floor
- Itching and scratchHair loss or thinning coating
- Red or inflamed skin
- Hot spots
- Excessive licking of specific areas such as the feet, legs, or belly
- Recurring skin infections or lesions
- Recurring ear infections
These symptoms can be caused by underlying health conditions, including allergies, infections, or hormonal imbalances. Animals can suffer from both primary and secondary skin diseases. Primary skin diseases are those that affect the skin and coat directly, such as bacterial infections. Secondary skin diseases and conditions, such as itchiness, can come from a range of issues like nutritional concerns or hypothyroidism. We will help determine the cause of your pet’s discomfort and work with you to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
