Pet Skin & Allergy Care
Diagnosis and treatment for common pet skin conditions
Pets can experience skin problems just like people, ranging from mild itching to more serious irritation or infections.
At Hampden Veterinary Clinic, our veterinarians can diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions including allergies, dermatitis, infections, parasites, and hormonal imbalances.
Diagnosing Skin Conditions
We may use tools such as blood work, skin scrapings, or biopsies to help identify the cause of your pet’s symptoms.
Treatment & Management
Treatment plans are tailored to your pet’s individual needs and may include medications, supplements, topical therapies, or diet changes. For chronic allergies, our team focuses on long-term comfort and management to help reduce flare-ups and itching.
If you notice your pet scratching excessively, licking their paws, or developing bald spots or scabs, call us at (207) 945-4825 or request an appointment online we’ll help get to the root of the issue so your pet can feel their best.
Your pet may have an allergy if they exhibit the following behaviors:
- Obsessively chewing or licking the affected area
- Grooming more than usual
- Constant scratching that leads to flaking skin, bald spots, and/or scabs
Other common signs of allergies include unusual lumps or bumps and smelly ears.
If you notice these symptoms and think your pet may be struggling with a skin condition caused by an allergy, let us address the issue and help them live a more comfortable life.
