Our dermatology services focus on the diagnosis and treatment of animals with disorders and allergies of the skin, ear, mouth, hair and nails. These issues, if left untreated, can cause your pet to become very uncomfortable and can lead to more severe complications.
Skin diseases are common in dogs and cats and can include problems resulting from:
- Skin and ear infections
- Allergies
- External parasites
Our dermatology services include:
- Skin scrapings
- Bacterial and fungal cultures
- Allergy testing
- Cytology smears
- Biopsy
Depending upon the nature of your pet’s disorder or allergy, Flannery Animal Hospital may recommend a hypoallergenic diet, topical or oral medication, or allergy immunotherapy.
While pet allergies are not curable, they are treatable and controllable in most pets. Different medications may need to be tried or combinations of medications may need to be administered for maximum comfort.
If you are unsure about any marks, rashes or irritations you see on your pet, call Flannery Animal Hospital and schedule an appointment today. |
