Veterinary Dermatology in Liberty Lake
Pet Skin Conditions
Our dermatological services at Legacy Animal Medical Center address diseases of the skin, coat, ears and nails. These conditions can develop from a range of sources, including allergic responses.
Our vets understand that chronic recurrent skin problems, ear infections and allergies can be extremely uncomfortable for your pet, and frustrating for you as a pet owner.
With our in-house lab, we can test for the root of your pet’s dermatological problem and offer a customized treatment plan to begin the healing process.
Referrals to a Board-Certified Veterinary Dermatologist
If your dog or cat needs specialized diagnostics and care for complex skin conditions, our team at Legacy Animal Medical Center will refer you to a board-certified veterinary dermatologist in Liberty Lake. A pet dermatologist is a veterinary specialist with advanced training and experience in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions that affect the skin.
What to Expect at Your Pet’s Appointment
Diagnosing a skin issue in your pet requires an examination by our experienced veterinarians, but some conditions may need further testing for an accurate diagnosis.
Examination & Diagnosis
Your vet will review your pet's medical history, perform a thorough examination, and then recommend testing to establish the source of your pet’s skin condition. Testing may include blood work, urinalysis, skin scraping, biopsies, etc.
Treatment Planning
Once the cause of your pet's skin condition has been determined, a customized treatment plan will be developed, which may include medication, shampoo/conditioner, an ear flush, allergy vaccines, or simple changes to your pet’s environment.
If needed, our team will refer your pet to a board-certified veterinary dermatologist in Liberty Lake.
