Skin problems are common in dogs and cats and can be caused by hormonal disorders, allergies, infections, or parasites such as fleas and mites. These issues can be difficult to treat and should be addressed promptly.
Skin disorders can be diagnosed through an examination and additional diagnostics. Depending on your pet’s symptoms additional diagnostics may include ear cytology, skin scrapping, or biopsies.
