Animal Dermatology Clinic

We specialize in diagnosing and managing flea allergy dermatitis, a common cause of intense itching in pets. While we don’t prescribe flea/tick prevention products directly, we collaborate with primary veterinarians to recommend rapid-acting, long-lasting flea preventatives critical for flea-allergic pets. Our focus is on eliminating fleas quickly to prevent allergic reactions and secondary infections.

We perform in-house diagnostic testing, including complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to evaluate underlying causes of skin disorders, infections, or systemic diseases. These tests help guide treatment plans for chronic skin conditions, allergies, and other dermatological issues.

As part of our in-house diagnostic testing, we offer urinalysis to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, or identify metabolic disorders contributing to skin or ear diseases. This is often combined with bloodwork for comprehensive diagnostics.

We conduct fecal testing to diagnose parasitic infections (e.g., intestinal worms) that may contribute to skin irritation, itching, or secondary infections. Early detection and treatment are key to managing chronic dermatological issues.

We utilize digital X-rays to investigate underlying causes of chronic skin disorders, such as bone infections (osteomyelitis), foreign bodies, or tumors. Advanced imaging aids in diagnosing complex cases, including those requiring surgical intervention or hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound healing.

Our clinics offer ultrasound imaging to evaluate soft tissue abnormalities, lymph nodes, or internal structures contributing to dermatological symptoms. This non-invasive tool helps diagnose conditions like abscesses, tumors, or organ-related skin diseases.

We provide comprehensive Allergy Testing to identify specific triggers for your pet’s skin or environmental allergies, including food, flea, and venomous insect allergies. Our board-certified dermatologists use advanced diagnostic methods to pinpoint allergens and develop targeted immunotherapy or treatment plans for long-term relief.

We provide foreign body removal services using advanced techniques like video otoscopy (for ear foreign bodies) or surgical extraction. This is critical for resolving infections, pain, or complications from objects lodged in the skin, ears, or other tissues.

Our clinic offers wound and laceration repair, including complex cases requiring sutures, advanced wound management, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We focus on minimizing scarring and promoting rapid healing for traumatic or surgical wounds.

We offer pain management strategies for pets with chronic skin conditions, post-surgical discomfort, or inflammatory diseases. Our approach includes pharmacological therapies, laser therapy, and supportive care to improve quality of life during treatment.

Our medical grooming services include medicated baths for skin conditions, anal gland expression, ear cleaning/plucking, and sanitary shaves. These procedures are tailored to pets with allergies, infections, or mobility issues requiring specialized care.

We perform anal gland expression for pets with impacted or infected anal glands, which can contribute to perianal skin irritation or scooting behavior. This procedure is part of our comprehensive medical grooming and pain management services.

We utilize cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and alleviate pain associated with dermatological conditions. This non-invasive treatment is often combined with other modalities like hyperbaric oxygen therapy for optimal results.

We conduct quality of life assessments for pets with chronic or terminal dermatological conditions to ensure humane and compassionate care. This includes evaluating pain, mobility, and comfort to recommend palliative treatments or end-of-life support as needed.

We offer telemedicine consultations for follow-up care, medication adjustments, or minor concerns between in-person visits. This service enhances accessibility for pets with chronic skin conditions requiring ongoing management.
