You should make an appointment if you notice intense itchingThe dog should also be consulted in the event of redness, dandruff, localised hair loss, bad odour, wounds that do not heal, changes in the pads or lesions on the ears and muzzle. It is also advisable to consult when the otitis are repeated or appear together with other signs of allergy. Early assessment prevents the problem from becoming chronic.
In veterinary dermatology we combine medical history (since when does it itch, at what times, whether it lives indoors/outdoors, feeding, travelling, etc.) with the detailed exploration of skin, ears and mucous membranes. Depending on the case, we can perform skin scrapings, cytology, allergy tests, cultures, blood tests or elimination diets to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
Not always. Although allergies are common, itching can have other causes: external parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, hormone problems, autoimmune diseases, etc. or other systemic disorders. It is therefore important not to simply change the feed or use shampoos without a proper diagnosis.
It depends on the cause. Some infections or parasites can be are completely solved with appropriate treatment. In other cases, such as certain allergies or chronic illnesses, the aim is to controlling outbreaks, reducing itching and improving quality of life with a long-term management plan (medication, diet, environmental control, skin and ear care).
Treatment may include oral or topical medicationWe also offer antiparasitic products, ear treatments, specific diets, immunotherapy for allergies and skin hygiene guidelines with shampoos or lotions. At Benivet Benissa we adapt the plan to each patient, looking for the best treatment for their maximum itch control with as little side effect as possible.
It is key to follow the plan prescribed by the vet: comply with medication timingsrespect the recommended diet if undergoing food allergy testing, apply topical products correctly and attend check-ups. It is also advisable to check for fleas and other parasites all year round and avoid household or human-use products without indication, as they can worsen the condition.
