Animal Dermatology Clinic

We offer flea and tick prevention strategies, including rapid-acting preventatives to manage flea allergy dermatitis and infestations. Our team educates pet owners on selecting the most effective products based on their pet’s needs, emphasizing speed of kill and long-lasting protection. We also address environmental flea control and provide guidance on managing secondary infections or allergic reactions caused by flea bites.

We offer in-house bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to diagnose underlying systemic issues contributing to skin or ear disease. These tests help identify infections, organ dysfunction, or metabolic disorders that may complicate dermatological conditions. Rapid results allow for timely adjustments to treatment plans, ensuring comprehensive care for your pet.

We use digital X-rays to assess bone involvement in dermatological conditions (e.g., osteomyelitis, foreign bodies, or orthopedic issues) and to monitor responses to treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy. X-rays also aid in diagnosing ear infections extending to the middle ear or evaluating subcutaneous masses. Our state-of-the-art radiography ensures high-resolution images for precise diagnostics.

We provide ultrasound imaging to evaluate subcutaneous masses, lymph nodes, and internal structures associated with dermatological conditions. Ultrasound guides biopsies, fluid aspirations, and assessments of tumors or abscesses. Our advanced imaging capabilities support accurate diagnoses for complex cases, including neoplasia, infections, or inflammatory disorders affecting the skin and surrounding tissues.

We provide comprehensive allergy testing, including venomous insect testing (e.g., bee/wasp hypersensitivity) and intradermal allergy tests for environmental or food allergies. These tests help identify specific triggers for your pet’s allergic reactions, enabling us to develop targeted immunotherapy or treatment plans to manage symptoms like itching, hives, or anaphylaxis.

We provide emergency stabilization for pets experiencing acute dermatological crises, such as severe allergic reactions, toxic exposures, or traumatic injuries. Our emergency protocols include IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and immediate interventions to address life-threatening conditions. We work closely with referring veterinarians to ensure seamless care and rapid stabilization before transitioning to specialized dermatological treatment.

We offer hospitalization and 24-hour monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, including those with severe dermatological conditions, post-surgical recovery, or systemic infections. Our facilities are equipped with critical care units, IV therapy, and continuous monitoring to manage complications such as anemia, organ dysfunction, or allergic reactions. Our team provides round-the-clock support to ensure the best possible outcomes for your pet.

We offer oxygen therapy as part of our hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and supportive care for pets with respiratory compromise, severe infections, or post-surgical recovery. Oxygen therapy may also be used in conjunction with anesthesia or critical care to maintain optimal oxygenation. Our team monitors oxygen levels closely to ensure safety and efficacy, particularly for pets with chronic skin conditions or systemic diseases affecting oxygen delivery.

We provide IV fluid therapy for pets requiring hydration, electrolyte balance, or support during surgical procedures, infections, or chronic skin diseases. IV fluids are administered under veterinary supervision to manage dehydration, shock, or kidney dysfunction, ensuring stable health during treatment. This therapy is often combined with pain management and oxygen therapy for comprehensive critical care.

We provide comprehensive pain management for pets undergoing surgical procedures or suffering from chronic dermatological conditions (e.g., ear disease, wounds, or arthritis). Our protocols include preemptive analgesia, post-operative pain control, and long-term management using medications, laser therapy, and physical therapy. We tailor pain relief strategies to each pet’s needs, ensuring comfort and quality of life during treatment and recovery.

We treat poisonings and toxin exposures that may affect the skin, including ingestion of toxic plants, chemicals, or medications. Our protocols include decontamination, IV fluids, and supportive care to manage symptoms like dermatitis, ulcers, or systemic toxicity. Early intervention is critical, and we collaborate with toxicology experts to ensure safe and effective treatment for affected pets.

We provide medical grooming services, including sanitary shaves, nail trimming, and medicated baths for pets with skin conditions. These services are essential for managing chronic infections, allergies, and post-surgical care. Our grooming is performed by trained professionals under veterinary supervision to ensure safety and comfort, particularly for pets with sensitive skin, ear disease, or wounds requiring specialized care.

We provide anal gland expression for pets with dermatological conditions complicated by anal gland impactions or abscesses, which can contribute to perianal skin infections or discomfort. This service is performed under veterinary supervision to relieve pain and prevent secondary infections. We also address underlying causes (e.g., dietary issues or chronic diarrhea) to ensure long-term resolution.

We utilize cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate pain for dermatological conditions such as wounds, burns, and allergic dermatitis. This non-invasive therapy stimulates cellular repair and reduces swelling without heat or radiation. Cold laser therapy is often combined with other treatments like hyperbaric oxygen or physical therapy for enhanced recovery, particularly in cases of chronic skin disorders or post-surgical healing.

We offer physical therapy and rehabilitation services to support pets recovering from skin surgeries, burns, or conditions affecting mobility (e.g., arthritis secondary to chronic ear disease). Our programs include hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), massage, and targeted exercises to improve strength and reduce discomfort. Rehabilitation is tailored to each pet’s needs, often integrated with laser therapy or hyperbaric oxygen for optimal outcomes.

We issue domestic travel certificates for pets moving between states or regions, including health evaluations and vaccinations as required. Our services ensure compliance with local regulations and provide peace of mind for pet owners relocating or traveling with their companions. We also offer pre-travel health assessments to address any dermatological issues that may arise during transit.

We offer quality of life assessments for pets with chronic or terminal dermatological conditions to guide treatment decisions and end-of-life care. Our evaluations consider pain levels, mobility, appetite, and overall comfort to ensure humane and compassionate management. We provide resources and support for palliative care, euthanasia, and grief counseling to help pet owners make informed choices.

We provide telemedicine consultations for follow-up care, medication adjustments, and general dermatological advice. These virtual visits allow pet owners to consult with our board-certified dermatologists from home, reducing travel stress for pets with chronic conditions. Telemedicine is also used for prescription refills, treatment plan reviews, and urgent concerns, ensuring accessible and continuous care.
