Our Services
Allergies& Dermatology
Is itchy skin interfering with your pet’s quality of life? Skin problems can be uncomfortable, persistent, and frustrating for both pets and their people. At Waccamaw Regional Veterinary Center, we provide allergy and dermatology care for dogs and cats in Conway and Carolina Forest to help your companion feel better on the outside and the inside.
There are many conditions that affect the skin, and symptoms can be hard to ignore. You don’t want your best friend to suffer — and neither do we. Our professional dermatology services are designed to find answers and bring real relief.
Diagnosing the Problem
To help your pet feel better, we first need to identify what’s causing the issue. Sometimes we can diagnose a condition through a thorough physical exam. Other times, we may recommend additional testing to get a clearer picture. Diagnostics like blood work, skin scrapings, or biopsies help us uncover the root cause so we can move forward confidently with treatment.
Some of the dermatology concerns we commonly help with include:
- ZFood and environmental allergies
- ZAcute or chronic infections
- ZParasites
- ZDermatitis
- ZHormonal disorders
- ZAutoimmune diseases
- ZTumors
- ZSkin cancer
Developing a
Treatment Plan
Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, the next step is deciding how to treat it. Some pets respond well to a simple topical medication. Others need a longer-term plan or a combination of approaches. We’ll explain all options clearly and tailor care to what will help your pet most.
Signs of a possible skin condition include:
- ZExcessive scratching
- ZScabbing or flaking skin
- ZHot spots
- ZShedding more than normal
- ZBiting, chewing, or licking irritated areas
- ZBumps or lumps on or under the skin
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Our caring team is here to help your pet live a more comfortable life.
