Just like humans, pets can suffer from a variety of skin problems. These can range from common allergies and infections to more complex conditions. Identifying the underlying cause is key to successful treatment. Dr. Sandrea’s dermatology consultations involve a thorough examination, detailed history gathering, and potentially diagnostic testing to pinpoint the specific issue affecting your pet.

  • Infections: Bacterial and fungal infections can cause significant discomfort and require targeted treatment.
  • Parasites: Fleas, ticks, mites, and other parasites can irritate the skin and transmit diseases.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like pemphigus and lupus can affect the skin and require specialized management.
