Veterinary Dermatopathology

Veterinary dermatopathology is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing skin diseases in animals by examining samples of skin and tissue under a microscope. Dermatopathologists look for changes at the cellular level to identify various conditions, including infections, allergies, and tumors. This branch of veterinary medicine helps veterinarians understand the underlying causes of skin problems in pets, ensuring they receive appropriate treatment. By studying the skin's structure and any abnormalities, veterinary dermatopathologists play a crucial role in maintaining animal health and improving the quality of life for pets with skin issues.
