Routine and second opinion dermatology cases including auto immune disorder.
Dermatology
Skin and ear problems are one of the most common reasons pets visit the vet.
At Sanderson Vet we investigate both routine and more complex dermatology cases, including allergic skin disease, chronic ear infections and autoimmune conditions. Diagnosis may involve taking skin samples or performing further laboratory tests to identify the underlying cause.
Once we understand what is causing the problem, we can create a treatment plan to help manage symptoms and keep your pet comfortable.
