Pet Dermatology
Few things are harder to watch than a pet that cannot stop scratching. Skin problems are some of the most common reasons dogs and cats visit us, and our warm, humid Louisiana climate makes them even more frequent. Fleas, pollen, molds, and food sensitivities can all leave your pet itchy and miserable.
Our veterinarians diagnose and treat a wide range of skin and ear conditions, including allergies, hot spots, skin infections, and chronic ear infections. Because so many skin problems look alike, we use skin and ear testing through our in-house laboratory to find the actual cause instead of just guessing.
Dr. Lance Hidalgo, our founder, has a special interest in dermatology, and our whole team takes itchy pets seriously. Once we know what is driving the problem, we build a treatment plan that may include medication, medicated baths, parasite prevention, or diet changes.
What to Expect with Dermatology
Every visit follows four caring steps, so you and your pet always know what comes next.
Skin and Ear Exam
Your veterinarian examines your pet's skin, coat, and ears, and asks about diet, environment, and when the itching started.
Diagnostic Testing
We may take skin or ear samples and test them in our in-house lab to identify infections, parasites, or other causes.
Targeted Treatment
We treat the true cause with the right mix of medication, medicated baths, parasite control, or diet changes for your pet.
Long-Term Management
For allergies and chronic conditions, we build a plan to prevent flare-ups and keep your pet comfortable year round.
