Allergies & Dermatology

Is your pet’s itchy skin driving you both crazy?

There are many ailments that can affect a companion animal’s skin, and the symptoms can range from minor to severe. You don’t want your pet to suffer and neither do we! 

Arrow Veterinary Clinic’s professional allergy and dermatology services will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.

Diagnosing the Problem

To get your pet on the path to feeling better, we must first identify precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong through an external exam of your pet, 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.

Some of the dermatological issues we routinely assist with include:

  • Allergies (food and/or environmental)
  • Infections (acute or chronic)
  • Parasites
  • Dermatitis
  • Hormonal disorders
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Tumors
  • Skin cancer

Developing a Treatment Plan

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is deciding how to best treat it. Depending on the situation, we may suggest something as simple as applying a topical cream. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of multiple treatment methods. 

Signs of a potential skin problem include:

  • Excessive scratching
  • Scabbing or flaking of the skin
  • Hot spots
  • Shedding more than usual
  • Biting, chewing or licking at the affected area
  • Bumps or lumps on or under the skin

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to book an appointment. Contact Arrow Veterinary Clinic right away. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
