One of the most frequent reasons a client brings their pet to a veterinarian is due to skin or ear related problems. Allergies can often be the cause of chronic ear infections. Pets also display allergen problems by constant scratching, poor coat condition, hot spots, hair loss, chewing on paws, and licking. Pets are susceptible to a wide variety of allergens including: inhalant allergies ( dust, mold, etc.), food allergies, and flea bite allergies. Treatments for itchy skin and allergies depend on the source of your pet's skin or ear irritation. Schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians for diagnosis and treatment plan for your pet.
