How We Identify Skin Issues in Dogs and Cats
Skin issues in pets, manifesting as excessive licking of the feet, red spots on the skin, or hair loss, are common yet often overlooked. At Lindenhurst Animal Hospital, we employ thorough diagnostic methods, such as skin and ear cytologies, to determine the root cause of your pet's discomfort. There are many potential causes of itching, irritation, and hair loss, including a bacterial or fungal infection, allergies, or some other dermatological conditions.
