Pet Dermatology in Raleigh, NC

Dogs and cats suffer from many of the same health problems that humans do, and one of the most common of these is skin conditions. Pet dermatology is a branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating these skin-related issues.

If these problems are left untreated, they can make your pet miserable, leading to constant scratching, biting, and licking of the skin, which can eventually cause other potentially serious health problems.

Fortunately, skin conditions can be successfully treated with pet dermatology. At Creedmoor Road Animal Hospital, we offer dermatological services for pets – including treatment with the groundbreaking Phovia System of skin healing therapy.

Causes And Symptoms Of Skin Problems In Pets

Allergies and parasites are the most common causes of dermatological conditions in pets. Allergic reactions can be caused by many environmental factors including ingredients in pet food, household cleaning chemicals, dust mites, and mold. This causes a condition known as allergic dermatitis, characterized by inflamed, itchy skin and rashes. When pets scratch and lick to relieve the itching, they cause open wounds which invite infection by fungus and bacteria, leading to more problems. Some types of dermatological problems in pets are contagious and can be contracted by humans too, including mange and ringworm. There are no permanent cures for allergies but they can be successfully controlled, as can parasites. Be aware of the symptoms of skin conditions in your pet, including:

  • The presence of fleas and mites
  • Dandruff
  • Dry, red, or scaling skin
  • Skin rashes
  • Open cuts and scratches
  • Missing fur

If your pet is showing any of these signs of skin issues, you should bring them to our hospital as soon as possible for an examination.
