Pet Allergy and Dermatology
There are many conditions that can affect a companion animal’s skin, and the symptoms can be unpleasant. You don’t want your best friend to suffer, and neither do we!
Pet Allergies and Dermatology at Westside Pet Hospital in Bend, OR
At Westside Pet Hospital in Bend, OR, we understand the impact of allergies and dermatological issues on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Our dedicated veterinary team is here to provide pet allergy and dermatology services, ensuring your furry companion receives the care they need.
Comprehensive Pet Allergy Assessment
The allergy and dermatology services at Westside Pet Hospital will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.
At each appointment, we’ll examine your pet from nose to tail, looking for anything out of the ordinary. We’ll then create a customized preventative care strategy that will include vaccines, parasite control, nutrition and weight management, and anything else we deem relevant.
To help your companion feel better, we must identify precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong just by looking at your pet, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings, and biopsies provide us with the answers we need to move forward with treatment.
Some Dermatological Issues We Assist With
Allergies (Food and/or Environmental)
Infections (Acute or Chronic)
Hormonal Disorders
Autoimmune Diseases
Skin Cancer
Finally, annual visits give all of us at Westside Pet Hospital a chance to truly get to know you and your pet. Developing a relationship with you and forging a bond with your animal friend is integral to the care we provide.
Once we’ve diagnosed the underlying problem, the next step is determining how to treat it best. Depending on the situation, we may prescribe something as simple as a topical cream. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of multiple treatment methods.
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 the above signs, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Give us a call, and we can help your four-legged friend live a more comfortable life.
