Veterinary Dermatology
Veterinary Dermatology is a specialized field of veterinary medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions in animals. This includes issues like allergies, infections, parasites, and autoimmune diseases that can affect pets such as dogs and cats.
Veterinary dermatologists use various diagnostic tools, including skin scrapings, biopsies, and allergy tests, to identify the underlying causes of skin problems. Treatment options may involve medications, special shampoos, or dietary changes to help manage and alleviate symptoms, ensuring the overall health and comfort of the animal.
