Pet Allergies and Dermatology

Pet Allergies and Dermatology in Birmingham AL

You may not know it, but pets can suffer from allergies just the same as humans. Allergy-induced skin conditions are some of the most common reasons for bringing a pet to Avondale Animal Hospital. Pet allergies are both common and treatable, but if left untreated can develop into something much more serious. Do you think your pet is having an allergic reaction? Itching, scratching and hot spots are all good indications of allergies. Our pet hospital in Birmingham, Alabama are here to help you diagnose and treat your pet’s allergies.

  • Flea allergy: The bite of a flea on your dog or cat causes an intense allergic reaction, resulting in itchy skin.

  • Food allergy: An aspect of your pet’s diet triggers reactions such as itchy skin, diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems.

  • Skin allergy or Atopic Dermatitis: An allergen or foreign substance is inhaled or makes contact with the skin, causing extremely itchy skin. This can lead to skin infections or skin injuries from excessive scratching.
