Veterinary Clinical Dermatology

Veterinary Clinical Dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin disorders in animals, particularly pets like dogs and cats. Skin issues can stem from allergies, infections, parasites, or underlying health problems. Veterinarians specializing in dermatology assess symptoms such as rashes, itching, and hair loss to determine the cause. They use tests like skin scrapes or allergies tests, and may prescribe treatments that include medications, shampoos, or dietary changes. The goal is to improve the animal's comfort and overall health, ensuring they feel and look their best.
