You don\u2019t want your best friend to suffer and neither do we!<\/p>\n<p>Our professional dermatology and allergy services will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"color--primary\">Diagnosing the Problem<\/h2>\n<p>To get your pet feeling better, we must first determine what\u2019s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what\u2019s wrong through a visual 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.<\/p>\n<p>Some dermatological problems we assist with include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size:18px;\">\n<li>Allergies (food and\/or environmental)<\/li>\n<li>Infections (acute or chronic)<\/li>\n<li>Parasites<\/li>\n<li>Dermatitis<\/li>\n<li>Hormonal disorders<\/li>\n<li>Autoimmune diseases<\/li>\n<li>Tumors<\/li>\n<li>Skin cancer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"color--primary\">Developing a Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Once we\u2019ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is determining how to best address it. Depending on the situation, we may prescribe something as simple as a topical cream. More complex conditions may require a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of treatment methods.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of a possible skin concern include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size:18px;\">\n<li>Excessive scratching<\/li>\n<li>Scabbing or flaking of the skin<\/li>\n<li>Hot spots<\/li>\n<li>Shedding more than usual<\/li>\n<li>Biting, chewing or licking at the affected area<\/li>\n<li>Bumps or lumps on or under the skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you see any of these signs, it\u2019s time to schedule an appointment.
