SKIN DISEASES OF DOGS AND CATS
Hundreds of skin diseases are recognized in dogs and cats. Among those commonly
treated in our office are...
Allergies (environmental and dietary) which are usually controlled with some
combination of allergy injections, dietary restriction, medicated shampoos, and
medications
Parasites (including scabies and demodectic mange) which are often cured with
treatments
Immunologic or autoimmune diseases (including Lupus Erythematosus and Pemphigus)
Skin infections (bacterial infections, yeast infections, ringworm fungal infections)
Ear infections
Nail diseases
Hormonal or endocrine diseases (including hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease)
Hair loss diseases unrelated to hormonal disease (many potential causes)
Seborrheic dermatitis
Congenital or developmental diseases
Skin cancers
and nutritional diseases.
Dr. Buerger may recommend additional tests to help determine
the cause of your pet's problem(s) and to help establish an
appropriate means of treatment.
