Skin and ear conditions are some of the most common health concerns we see in pets, especially here in the South where environmental allergens are common year-round. Allergies and dermatologic conditions can significantly affect your pet’s comfort and quality of life if left untreated. Common signs of allergies or skin disease may include: excessive itching or scratching, red or irritated skin, hair loss, recurrent ear infections, licking or chewing at the paws, and/or odor, rashes, or skin infections. Our clinic offers a variety of diagnostic and treatment options to help identify and manage your pet’s skin and allergy concerns. For patients requiring more advanced diagnostics or specialized treatment, we work closely with veterinary dermatologists in the area to help ensure your pet receives care tailored to their needs.

Keeping your pet comfortable is an important part of maintaining their overall health and quality of life. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, experiencing an injury, or dealing with a chronic medical condition, our team can develop an individualized pain management plan tailored to their needs. We offer a variety of treatment options and work closely with you to help keep your pet active, comfortable, and enjoying life.

Diagnostic testing plays an important role in both preventative and sick-pet care. We perform annual bloodwork to establish a baseline for your pet's health, monitor changes over time, and help identify underlying conditions before they become more serious. When pets are ill, additional laboratory testing can provide valuable information to help diagnose disease, guide treatment decisions, and monitor response to therapy. Our team will discuss any recommended testing and help you understand your pet's results every step of the way.

Many pets live long, happy lives with chronic medical conditions when they receive appropriate care and monitoring. Our team works closely with pet owners to develop individualized treatment plans for conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis, heart disease, endocrine disorders, and other long-term health concerns. Through regular examinations, diagnostic testing, medication management, and client education, we strive to help pets maintain the best possible quality of life.

When additional diagnostics, advanced treatment options, or specialized expertise are needed, we work closely with a network of board-certified veterinary specialists and are happy to coordinate referrals to help ensure your pet receives the highest level of care possible.

Cytology is a quick and minimally invasive diagnostic tool that allows our veterinarians to examine cells under a microscope to help identify infections, inflammation, and other abnormalities. We commonly perform cytology on skin lesions, ear infections, urinary samples, and lumps or masses to help guide diagnosis and treatment recommendations. In many cases, cytology can provide valuable information during your pet's visit and help us develop an appropriate treatment plan more quickly.
