Pet Allergies & Dermatology
Relieve your pet’s skin issues with expert dermatology care at Blackhawk Veterinary Hospital—diagnosis, treatment, and lasting relief.
Pet Allergies & Dermatology in Cheney, WA
There are many ailments that can impact a companion animal’s skin, and the symptoms can be unpleasant. You don’t want your loved one to suffer and neither do we!
To help your best friend feel better, we must identify the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong just by examining your pet, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings and biopsies can provide us with the answers we need to move forward with treatment.
Some dermatological issues Blackhawk Veterinary Hospital can assist with include:
- Allergies
- Infections (acute or chronic)
- Parasites
- Dermatitis
- Hormonal disorders
- Autoimmune diseases
Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is deciding how to best treat it. Depending on your companion’s situation, the solution could be something as simple as applying a topical cream. More complex conditions, on the other hand, might call for a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of 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
If you notice any of these signs, give Blackhawk Veterinary Hospital a call. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
