Skin Conditions & Allergies

Is your cat’s itchy skin keeping you both up at night?

There are many ailments that can affect your feline companion’s skin, and the symptoms can be unpleasant. You don’t want your cat to suffer and neither do we! 

The professional allergy and dermatology services at All Cats Clinic will help get your loved one as healthy on the outside as on the inside.

Diagnosing the Problem

To help your cat feel better, we must determine precisely what’s causing the problem. We may be able to identify the issue by examining your cat, or we may need to investigate further. Blood work, skin scrapings and biopsies help us get the answers we need to move forward with a cure.

Some dermatological issues we assist with include:

• Allergies (food and/or environmental)
• Infections (acute or chronic)
• Parasites
• Dermatitis
• Hormonal disorders
• Autoimmune diseases
• Tumors
• Skin cancer

Developing a Treatment Plan

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is determining the best way to treat it. Depending on the situation, we may recommend something as straightforward as applying a topical cream. More complex conditions may call for a longer-term strategy or involve a combination of treatment methods.

Signs of a possible skin problem include:

• Excessive scratching
• Scabbing or flaking of the skin
• Hot spots
• Shedding more than usual
• Biting, chewing or licking at the affected area
• Bumps or lumps on or under the skin

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Contact All Cats Clinic right away. We can help your loved one live a more comfortable life.
