How Skin Disease Affects Your Pet’s Health
Skin conditions in pets are more than just uncomfortable; they can lead to severe health complications if left untreated. Pets with skin disease often experience chronic itching, irritation, and pain, which can significantly affect their quality of life. In many cases, skin problems are compounded by secondary bacterial or yeast infections, worsening the irritation and discomfort. Diagnosing and addressing the root cause of your pet’s skin condition is essential to providing effective treatment and preventing recurring issues.
Treating Allergies and Skin Conditions in Pets
Once we’ve identified the cause of your pet’s skin problem, we can develop a comprehensive treatment plan. We offer a full range of treatments, including:
- Cytopoint and Apoquel: These medications are designed to relieve the intense itching associated with allergic dermatitis. Cytopoint is an injection that targets specific itch-causing proteins, while Apoquel is an oral medication that reduces inflammation and itchiness.
- Topical Treatments: We offer medicated shampoos, creams, and sprays to soothe irritated skin and address infections.
- Steroid Therapy: In some cases, we may recommend short-term use of steroids to manage severe allergic reactions. While effective, steroids must be used carefully to avoid long-term side effects.
- Allergy Injections: For pets with severe or recurrent allergies, we may formulate custom allergy injections to help desensitize them to specific allergens over time.
