Diagnosing the Problem

To get your pet on the path to better skin health, we must identify precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong through an external exam, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings, and biopsies help us get the answers we need to move forward with a cure.

Some dermatological conditions we assist with include:

Allergies (food and/or environmental)
Infections (acute or chronic)
Parasites
Dermatitis
Hormonal disorders
Autoimmune diseases
Tumors
Skin cancer

Our approach to pet allergies and dermatology in Houston, TX, starts with these thorough diagnostics to ensure we can present effective treatment tailored to your companion’s needs.

Developing a Treatment Plan

With a diagnosis in hand, the next step is determining how to best treat it. Depending on the situation, we may recommend something as simple as applying a topical cream. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term strategy or involve multiple treatment methods.

Signs of a possible skin problem include:

Excessive scratching
Scabbing or flaking of the skin
Hot spots
Shedding more than usual
Biting, chewing or licking at the affected area
Bumps or lumps on or under the skin
