DERMATOLOGY
Skin problems are common in all animals and can arise from various causes, including hormonal disorders, allergies, infections, parasites like mites and even cancer.

Early detection and treatment can help prevent more serious issues down the line. Always consult your veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms.

OPTHAMOLOGY
If you notice any changes in your pet's eyes, it's essential to act quickly to ensure their vision stays healthy. Common signs watch for include dilated pupils, clouding of the cornea, red or bloodshot eyes, or any noticeable swelling. Additionally, if your pet is squinting, has discharge around the eyes, or is rubbing their eyes or face, please call us immediately. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing serious eye problems.

PAIN MANAGMENT AND CONTROL
Understanding what to look for as your pets age is crucial, as animals often hide their discomfort as a survival instinct. Signs can be subtle, such as a decrease in appetite or they might adopt certain positions that indicate unease. More obvious indicators include difficulty getting up or unexpected nipping and biting. Remember, aging doesn't mean your beloved companion has to endure pain; being attentive to these signs can lead to better care and comfort for them.
