ALLERGIES & DERMATOLOGY

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

There are a wide variety of ailments that can affect a companion animal’s skin, and the symptoms they can experience as a result can be downright unpleasant. You don’t want your pal to suffer and neither does the team at The Corner Vet! 

Our professional allergy and dermatology services are designed to help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.

Diagnosing the Problem

To help your pet feel better, we must first determine the underlying cause. We may be able to tell what’s wrong through a cursory exam, or we may need to investigate further. Tools like blood work, skin scrapings and biopsies help us gather the answers we need to move forward with a cure.

Some skin conditions we routinely 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

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is determining the best course of treatment. Depending on the situation, the solution may be as simple as applying a topical cream. More complex conditions may require a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of treatment methods. 

Signs of a potential skin disorder 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 see any of these signs, it’s time to call The Corner Vet. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
