Understanding Dermatology

Dermatology is the branch of veterinary medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating disorders of the skin, ears, hair, and nails. These issues can range from common concerns like allergies and infections to more complex autoimmune conditions and genetic diseases.

Skin, Ear, and Allergy Conditions

Our board-certified dermatologist and experienced team can address a wide range of dermatological conditions, including:

Allergies

Identifying and managing allergies, whether they are food-related, environmental, or contact allergies, is crucial in restoring your pet’s comfort and preventing secondary infections.

Infections

Treating bacterial, fungal, and parasitic skin infections is essential for your pet’s health. We provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatments.

Ear Problems

Ear infections and inflammation can be painful for your pet. Our experts offer thorough ear examinations and personalized treatment plans.

Immune-Mediated Skin Diseases

Conditions like pemphigus, lupus, and vasculitis are complex and require specialized care. Our dermatology team can help manage these conditions.

Autoimmune Disorders

Disorders such as pemphigus, which result from the immune system attacking the skin, require accurate diagnosis and expert management.

Hormonal Conditions

Conditions like Cushing’s disease and hypothyroidism can manifest as skin issues. Our team can diagnose and treat these underlying conditions.
