Dermatology
Veterinarians recognize hundreds of different skin diseases in dogs, cats, and other small animals. Most of the time, these diseases can appear to be the same and can only be accurately diagnosed through a complete examination of your pet and his or her history.
Skin conditions may be caused by any of the following:
Many of these conditions present themselves in the form of chronic itchiness, poor-quality coat or hair loss, or ongoing ear problems. Most dermatological problems are lifelong conditions, and this means that ongoing management of the disorder or allergy can be beneficial in achieving a comfort level for both you and your pet.
