Conditions We Treat

 

Veterinary dermatology is about much more than allergies! At Redbud Animal Dermatology, we specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide variety of conditions affecting the skin, ears, paws, and claws of dogs, cats, and horses.


Some of the conditions we commonly evaluate and treat include:

  • Allergies & Chronic Itching: Environmental allergies, food allergies, flea allergies, and persistent scratching, licking, or chewing.
  • Chronic Ear Disease: Recurring ear infections, inflammation, discharge, and other conditions affecting the ear canals.
  • Skin Infections: Bacterial, fungal, and other infectious conditions that cause irritation, inflammation, or recurring skin problems.
  • Autoimmune Skin Diseases: Conditions in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin or other tissues.
  • Parasitic Skin Diseases: Skin conditions caused by fleas, mites, and other external parasites.
  • Hair Loss & Skin Abnormalities: Unexplained hair loss, scaling, crusting, redness, and changes in the appearance or texture of the skin.
  • Skin Growths & Tumors: Evaluation and management of certain benign and cancerous skin growths.
  • Paw & Claw Disorders: Persistent paw inflammation, irritation, and disorders affecting the nails and surrounding skin.


Whether your pet has been struggling with a chronic condition or has developed a new dermatologic concern, our team is dedicated to identifying the underlying cause and developing an individualized treatment plan.
