Veterinary Dermatology Care

At Forest Crossing Animal Hospital, we understand that incessant scratching, chewing, and licking can signal a much deeper issue—not just a bad hair day. These behaviors might point to allergies, infections, hormonal imbalances, or even autoimmune conditions. Our clinic offers comprehensive dermatology services tailored to diagnose the cause and deliver real, lasting relief for pets and peace of mind for pet parents.

What We Treat — Effective Relief for Persistent Skin Issues

Our veterinary dermatology expertise covers a wide range of common—and often frustrating—skin problems:

  • Allergies (environmental, food, or flea-related): Testing, hyposensitization therapy, and targeted medications like Apoquel and Cytopoint.

  • Skin Infections: Options include topical treatments, antibiotics, antifungals, and convenient injectable treatments like Convenia.

  • Parasite-Related Skin Problems: Address underlying causes like fleas, ticks, and mites that lead to itching and irritation.

  • Hormonal Skin Disorders: Conditions such as hypothyroidism and Cushing’s disease can impact coat and skin health—and we’re ready to diagnose and manage them.

  • Autoimmune Dermatologic Conditions: Support for chronic inflammation and hair loss with advanced diagnostic and treatment plans.

  • Skin Tumors & Cancerous Lesions: We evaluate and manage various skin tumors, including melanoma—offering diagnostic clarity and compassionate care.

A Thorough, Pet-Friendly Diagnostic Process

  • Comprehensive Skin Exam
    We’ll evaluate your pet’s coat, skin, and behavior, combined with lab tests or skin biopsies when needed.

  • Precision Diagnostics
    From allergy testing and food trials to fungal or bacterial cultures, we tailor diagnostics based on symptoms.

  • Targeted Treatment Plans
    Whether it’s medications, immunotherapy, or environmental changes, your pet’s treatment plan will be customized.

  • Supportive Care & Supplements
    Omega-3 fatty acids and other skin-supportive supplements may enhance coat health and improve outcomes.
