What to Expect at Your Pet’s Dermatology Visit
Diagnosis
At the start of your pet’s dermatology visit, we will ask a series of questions to get some background information to aid in the diagnosis of their condition. We then use one of the diagnostic options in our laboratory to determine the cause of your pet’s skin condition.
Dog & Cat Dermatology Treatment Plan
Once the cause of your pet's skin condition is determined, we can develop a plan to treat it. Treatment can include a prescription medication or shampoo/conditioner, an ear flush, allergy vaccines, or simply changing your pet’s environment. We mix all pet allergy vaccines in-house, which allows for faster, more affordable refills.
If we determine that long-term treatment is required for an incurable condition, we can work collaboratively with your primary care veterinarian to customize a plan to meet your pet’s needs.
