Dermatology
Caring for Your Pet’s Skin and Ear Health
All our doctors at East Ridge Animal Hospital are highly experienced when it comes to dermatology. Skin and ear issues are one of the main reasons that dogs are taken to the vet in general. Here in the Tennessee Valley, seasonal allergies can affect both humans and dogs. Some other skin problems, including food allergies and parasites, are frequently found as well.
If you’ve noticed any symptoms of dermatological problems with your dog, contact us right away.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I treat my pet’s itchiness?
For mild itching, try an oatmeal-based shampoo and conditioner. If it doesn’t let up, give us a call. We offer dermatology services in Chattanooga and can prescribe meds to get to the root of the problem.
How do I know if it’s a skin condition?
Watch for constant scratching, rubbing on furniture, red or irritated skin, and fur loss. Those are signs it’s time for a check-up.
What if my pet has an allergic reaction?
Allergies can make pets miserable. Our dermatology team can help identify what’s bothering them and create a plan to keep them comfortable. If you see hives or swelling, reach out!
