ALLERGIES & DERMATOLOGY

Is your pet’s itchy skin keeping you both up at night?

There are many ailments that can affect an animal’s skin, and the symptoms can range from unpleasant to severe. You don’t want your best friend to suffer and neither do we! 

The professional allergy and dermatology services at The Corner Vet will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.

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

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

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Give The Corner Vet a call. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
