Allergy Testing and Management

Home / Our Services/ Allergy Testing and Management

Many pets suffer from allergies, which can cause chronic itching, ear infections, and skin inflammation. We offer comprehensive allergy testing to identify triggers, including environmental, food, or flea allergies. Our personalized treatment plans include dietary modifications, medications, and immunotherapy to keep your pet’s allergies under control and improve their quality of life.

Treatment of Skin Infections

Skin infections in pets, such as bacterial (pyoderma), fungal (ringworm), and parasitic (mange) infections, can lead to discomfort and health complications. We provide advanced diagnostics and effective treatments, including topical therapies, oral medications, and follow-up care to ensure a complete recovery.

Chronic Ear Infections

Chronic ear infections are common in pets with underlying allergies or skin conditions. We use thorough diagnostic tools to assess the root cause of recurrent ear issues and provide customized treatment plans. Our approach includes ear cleaning, medication, and preventive care to reduce the risk of future infections.

Skin Disorders

Autoimmune skin conditions such as pemphigus and lupus affect the skin and mucous membranes, causing ulcers, blisters, and inflammation. Our experienced team is skilled in diagnosing these rare conditions and offers tailored treatments that may include immunosuppressive therapy, corticosteroids, and supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.

Skin Biopsies and Cytology

To provide accurate diagnoses for unexplained skin issues, we perform skin biopsies and cytology. These diagnostic procedures help identify infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancerous lesions. Our veterinarians will develop a precise treatment plan based on the results, ensuring the best possible care for your pet.

We adopted my sweet pup, Basil, at Lake Area Animal Hospital years ago. It was evident that the staff loved and cared for Basil. They even sent us home with a list of thing Basil liked and didn’t like. We have also had a dog treated for diabetes at Lake Area Hospital. The staff was knowledgeable and trained our family to give him his insulin.

I love the veterinarians and the medical staff. They were very loving toward my fur baby Lucy and they even snapped a picture with her doing some tricks! She always loves getting treats from them while they do what they need to do and they are so careful not to hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable. And they also give her all the belly rubs.
