Animal Dermatology Clinic

We specialize in diagnosing and managing flea allergy dermatitis, a common cause of intense itching in pets. While fleas are often absent upon examination, we prescribe rapid-acting flea prevention products to eliminate existing fleas and prevent future bites. Our approach includes selecting treatments with fast kill times and long durations to minimize allergic reactions triggered by flea saliva.

We offer comprehensive in-house diagnostic testing, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to evaluate underlying causes of chronic skin disorders, infections, or systemic diseases. These tests help guide treatment plans for conditions like bacterial infections, yeast overgrowth, or organ dysfunction.

As part of our in-house diagnostic testing, we perform urinalysis to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), or identify metabolic disorders contributing to skin conditions. This is particularly useful for diagnosing secondary complications in pets with chronic allergies or systemic diseases.

We conduct fecal testing to diagnose intestinal parasites (e.g., worms, protozoa) that may contribute to skin irritation, itching, or secondary infections. Early detection allows us to prescribe targeted deworming treatments and prevent complications.

We utilize digital radiography for imaging bones, joints, and internal structures to diagnose conditions like osteomyelitis (bone infections), foreign bodies, or tumors affecting the skin or ears. This aids in planning surgical interventions or advanced treatments.

Our clinics offer ultrasound imaging to evaluate soft tissues, lymph nodes, and abdominal organs for abnormalities like masses, abscesses, or organomegaly. This is critical for diagnosing internal causes of dermatological symptoms.

We provide comprehensive allergy testing to identify specific triggers for your pet’s skin or environmental allergies, including food allergies and flea allergies. Our board-certified dermatologists use advanced diagnostic methods like intradermal allergy testing to pinpoint sensitivities, enabling targeted immunotherapy (allergy shots) or dietary adjustments for long-term relief.

We provide foreign body removal services for objects lodged in the skin, ears, or gastrointestinal tract. Using imaging guidance (e.g., X-rays, ultrasound) and surgical techniques, we safely extract debris to prevent infections or tissue damage.

Our team repairs wounds and lacerations with advanced suturing techniques, including cruciate suture patterns, to promote healing and minimize scarring. We also manage chronic or infected wounds using hyperbaric oxygen therapy for optimal recovery.

We provide medical grooming services, including sanitary shaves, nail trimming/dremeling, anal gland expression, and medicated baths for skin conditions. These procedures are tailored to pets with allergies, infections, or mobility issues requiring specialized care.

We utilize cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation, pain, and itching associated with dermatological conditions like allergies, arthritis, or post-surgical recovery. This non-invasive treatment promotes healing without side effects.

We offer physical therapy and rehabilitation for pets recovering from surgery, injuries, or chronic conditions affecting mobility (e.g., osteoarthritis). Services include hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), massage, and chiropractic adjustments to improve function.

Our hydrotherapy services use an underwater treadmill to provide low-impact exercise for pets with joint pain, post-surgical recovery needs, or neurological conditions. This therapy reduces strain while improving muscle strength and circulation.

We provide massage therapy to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery for pets with dermatological or orthopedic issues. Techniques are customized based on the pet’s condition and comfort level.
