Allergies & Dermatology

Is your pet’s constant scratching keeping you both up at night?

There are a variety of conditions that can affect a companion animal’s skin, and the symptoms can range from unpleasant to downright painful. You don’t want your pet to suffer and neither do we! 

The professional allergy and dermatology services at Brant Animal Clinic 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 healthier skin, we must identify precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong by simply examining your pet, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings and biopsies will uncover the answers we need to move forward with a cure.

Some dermatological issues we 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 identified the problem, the next step is determining how to best treat it. Depending on the situation, we may recommend something as simple as applying a topical ointment. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of multiple treatment methods.

Signs of a possible 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. Give Brant Animal Clinic a call. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
