Allergies & Dermatology


Is your animal companion’s itchy skin keeping you both up at night?

There are many ailments that can affect an animal’s skin, and the symptoms can be unpleasant. You don’t want your best friend to suffer and neither do we! 

The professional allergy and dermatology services at Taylorsville Veterinary Clinic will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.

Diagnosing the Problem

To give your pet some much-needed relief, we must first identify precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to tell what’s wrong through a visual exam, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings and biopsies help us get the answers we need to move forward with a cure.

Some dermatological issues we assist with include:

  • Allergies (food and/or environmental)
  • Infections (acute or chronic)
  • Parasites
  • Dermatitis
  • Hormonal disorders
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Tumors
  • Skin cancer

Developing a Treatment Plan

Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, the next step is determining the best way to treat it. Depending on the situation, we may recommend something as simple as applying a topical medication. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term approach or involve a combination of treatment methods. 

Signs of a potential skin problem include:

  • 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

Recognize any of these signs? If so, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Give Taylorsville Veterinary Clinic a call. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
