Treating Cat & Dog Skin Conditions in Ann Arbor, MI
Dogs and cats can suffer from allergies, fungal infections, parasites, skin growths, and other problems, many of which can cause itching and inflammation. All of these situations can benefit from the care of an urgent vet, as without timely treatment they can quickly get worse. When our pets are uncomfortable, they tend to scratch, lick, and bite at the areas that are bothering them, and this can damage the protective skin barrier and lead to further complications. The sooner we can see your dog or cat about their skin condition, the sooner we can treat it and provide them with much needed relief!
