About this service
Itching, redness and bald patches can have dozens of causes. That is why we never treat “by eye”: a skin scraping under the microscope or a ringworm test shows exactly what we are dealing with.
Ears are examined with an otoscope and ear infections are treated in a targeted way. An aural haematoma (swollen ear flap) is treated surgically, and suspicious skin lumps are removed.

Frequently asked questions
My pet is scratching but has no fleas. What could it be?
There are many possible causes: mites (demodex, scabies), fungal infections, food or environmental allergies, infections. A skin scraping examined under the microscope clarifies the diagnosis.
Can fungal skin infections spread to people?
Some forms of ringworm can. That is why fast diagnosis and good hygiene during treatment are important.
