Pet skin problems

Pets, just like humans, suffer from various skin diseases that can cause skin itching, dandruff, redness, small wounds, bad odor, alopecia (thinning of the coat), and changes in the color or texture of the coat, etc. The causes of skin diseases can be very diverse – from infections, allergies, and metabolic disorders to causes related to hormonal imbalance.

The diagnostics of dermatological diseases are quite complex because, in many cases, different diseases share similar symptoms, so laboratory tests play a very important role here. We are happy to have a modern laboratory and to be able to offer our patients a very wide range of diagnostic tests:
– skin cytology;
– biopsy;
– skin scraping examination;
– bacteriological skin culture;
– dermatophyte (fungal) culture;
– trichogram (hair morphology examination);
– Immunoglobulin E for dogs;
– hormone tests (thyroid, adrenal, and progesterone);
– depending on the need, we can also perform more tests at the LABOKLIN laboratory in Germany.

Only by knowing the true cause of the ailment can we prescribe targeted treatment that will help your animal recover.
