Hormonal disorders, allergies, infections, fleas, or mites are common causes of skin issues in pets. These conditions can lead to excessive itching, inflamed skin, and discomfort for your pet and may escalate if left untreated.
To accurately diagnose the problem, our veterinary team will start with a thorough physical examination of your pet. Depending on the findings, we may recommend additional diagnostic procedures, including blood work to check for hormonal imbalances or infections, skin scraping to identify parasites, or biopsies to assess for more serious conditions.
If your pet exhibits symptoms like excessive scratching, noticeable hair loss, red or inflamed patches of skin, or unexplained scabbing, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment. Early intervention can significantly affect your pet’s comfort and overall well-being. Our dedicated team is here to provide the care your pet needs to start feeling better.
Contact us if you notice your dog or cat scratching excessively or if he or she develops any bare patches, scabs, scaling, redness, inflammation, lumps, or bumps.
