Pet Allergy & Dermatology

Pet Allergy & Dermatology

For pets that suffer from allergies and other dermatological conditions life can be downright miserable. At Grantsburg Animal Hospital and Wild River Veterinary Clinic we understand the complexities surrounding pet skin problems. We can provide a timely and accurate diagnosis so the most effective treatment strategy can be put in place. Some of the many skin ailments we provide assistance with include:

• Food allergies
• Environmental allergies
• Infections of the skin or ears
• Parasites
• Dermatitis

With a diagnosis in hand, we can develop a treatment plan that is custom-made for your pet. Our treatment options range from the application of a topical cream to oral or injectable medication, or a combination of these treatments. If you’re not sure whether your pet may be experiencing a skin problem, some of the signs to look for include:

• Scratching excessively
• Licking, biting or chewing at the affected area
• Unusual lumps or bumps on or under the skin
• Hair loss or bald spots
• Scabbing or flaky skin
