Does Your Pet Suffer from Chronic Itching?

Skin issues are among the most common reasons for veterinary visits, but they can also be the most frustrating to treat. At CedarTail, we go beyond symptom relief to identify the root cause of your pet's discomfort, whether it's allergies, infections, or hormonal imbalances.

Ear Diseases (Otology)

Specialized diagnosis and flushing for chronic or recurrent ear infections using advanced video otoscopy.

Skin Cytology & Biopsies

Microscopic evaluation of skin samples to accurately identify bacterial, fungal, or autoimmune causes.

Autoimmune Diseases

Management of complex immune-mediated skin disorders requiring lifelong therapy and monitoring.

Hormonal Skin Conditions

Treatment for hair loss and skin changes related to Cushing's disease, hypothyroidism, and other endocrine issues.

Parasite Control

Elimination and prevention of fleas, ticks, and mites that cause severe itching and skin damage.

Understanding Pet Allergies

Just like humans, pets can develop allergies to pollen, mold, dust mites, and food ingredients. Left untreated, these allergies leads to a cycle of itching, scratching, and secondary infections.

The Diagnostic Process

We use a systematic approach to rule out causes. This often begins with cytology to check for infection, followed by elimination diet trials or allergy testing to pinpoint specific triggers.

Did You Know?

Food allergies are actually less common than environmental allergies (Atopic Dermatitis) in dogs and cats, yet they often have very similar symptoms.

Specialized Procedures

  • Video Otoscopy

    High-definition visualization of the ear canal to identify polyps, foreign bodies, or deep-seated infection, allowing for precise cleaning and treatment.

  • Intradermal Allergy Testing

    Measuring the skin's reaction to dozens of environmental allergens to create a custom immunotherapy vaccine (allergy shots or drops).
