You’re in the Right Place If Your Pet Has…

Ongoing itching or allergy flare-ups

Scratching, licking, chewing or rubbing that is persistent, disruptive or keeps coming back.

Recurrent ear problems

Head shaking, discharge, odour, redness or pain that improves then returns.

Hair Loss or Overgrooming

Patchy hair loss, thinning coat, overgrooming or changes in coat quality.

Recurrent Skin Infections

Redness, odour, discharge, hot spots, pustules, crusts or sores that keep returning.

Paw, Nail, or pad problems

Licking, chewing, limping, nail changes, redness, swelling or discomfort.

Skin Lesions or Persistent Sores

Lumps, bumps, ulcers, scabs or sores that are changing or not healing.

These signs can have more than one cause with many first assessed and managed by your primary care veterinarian. If the problem is persistent, recurrent or not responding as expected, a dermatology consultation with one of our clinicians can help identify the underlying cause and guide the next steps for treatment and ongoing care.

Practical Next Steps for Chronic Skin, Ear and Allergy Problems

Many pets come to us after months or years of flare ups, short term improvement and relapse. We work through the pattern, use targeted diagnostics where needed and develop a practical treatment plan for long term care.

Understanding the Pattern

We review the history, what has already been tried, what helped temporarily and what may be causing the problem.

Targeted Diagnostics

Cytology, allergy work-up, ear procedures, biopsy and other tests may be recommended to inform or guide our assessment.

Tailored Treatment Plans

Treatment is tailored to your pet, with the goal of better comfort, fewer flare-ups and improved quality of life.
