Pet Dermatology FAQs

Pet Dermatology FAQs from a Veterinarian
Near You in Fontana, CA

Welcome to Jurupa Hills Animal Hospital, your pet dermatologist near you in Fontana, CA! We know that skin issues are a common concern for pet owners, and whether it’s itching, hair loss, or red patches, it can be frustrating for both you and your pet. To help answer some of the most common questions about pet dermatology, we’ve provided this FAQ to guide you through the basics of skin care for pets.

Skin issues in pets can show up in different ways, but some signs are more common than others. Watch for:

  • Itching and scratching: If your pet seems unusually itchy, they could be dealing with an allergy or skin infection.
  • Redness or inflammation: Red patches or swollen areas can indicate irritation or infection.
  • Flaky or scaly skin: Dandruff isn’t just for humans! Dry, flaky skin can mean your pet needs a dermatology check-up.
  • Lumps or bumps: Growths under or on the skin might be harmless, but it’s best to have them checked by a vet to be sure.
Skin issues in pets can be triggered by a range of things, including:

  • Allergies: Just like people, pets can be allergic to certain foods, plants, or even dust mites.
  • Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and mites are major causes of itching and irritation.
  • Infections: Bacterial or fungal infections can quickly make your pet uncomfortable and lead to other health issues if untreated.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Sometimes, an issue with your pet’s thyroid or other glands can lead to skin problems.
At Jurupa Hills Animal Hospital, we take a thorough approach to diagnosing skin issues. First, a member of our team will examine your pet’s skin and ask about their symptoms and lifestyle. We may perform tests like blood work or allergy testing to get to the root of the problem.
Treatment depends on the cause, but here are some common approaches:

  • Medicated Shampoos or Sprays: These can help with mild irritations or infections and soothe itchy skin.
  • Allergy Medications: For pets with allergies, antihistamines or other allergy meds can bring relief.
  • Antibiotics or Antifungals: If an infection is causing the problem, medications can usually clear it up.
  • Parasite Control: Flea and tick preventatives are essential for pets prone to skin issues.
  • Diet Changes: If food allergies are the culprit, we may recommend switching your pet to a special diet.

If your pet’s scratching, redness, or hair loss persists for more than a few days or seems to worsen, it’s a good idea to schedule a visit with us. Left untreated, skin issues can become more severe, leading to infections or more significant health problems.
