Dermatology

We offer dermatology referrals with an Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Dermatology for:

Atopic dermatitis - skin disease characterized by excessive itchiness affecting up to 10-15% of dog population

Alopecia - common presentation in many dermatological conditions. 

Anal Furunculosis- progressive disease of the peri-anal region, frequently affecting German Shepherds.

Autoimmune diseases - occur when immune system attacks normal body structures. Can be challenging to diagnose and often requires biopsies.

Chronic Ear Diseases - advanced imaging including CT scan is often needed to assess middle or inner ear involvement.

Pododermatitis - it's a manifestation of other, often multifaceted disease rather than diagnosis in itself. Multidisciplinary approach is often needed to treat this condition, as it can be caused by both orthopedic and dermatological problems. 

Ectoparasitosis and Infectious Diseases - microscopic evaluation of skin samples is paramount for not misdiagnosing those conditions.

Endocrinological - Hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism can often affect skin and coat condition.
