Signs Your Pet May Have a Skin Condition

Pets can develop a wide range of dermatological problems that often require veterinary attention. Let us know if your dog or cat is showing any of the following:

  • Constant licking, scratching, or chewing
  • Recurrent ear infections or yeast buildup
  • Hair loss, bald patches, or dull coat
  • Red, flaky, or irritated skin
  • Swelling around the face, eyes, or lips
  • Unusual odor from skin or ears
  • Sneezing, coughing, or wheezing

Common Allergies and Skin Issues in Pets

Our team diagnoses and treats a variety of dermatologic conditions, including:

Environmental Allergies

Reactions to pollen, mold, dust, or other airborne irritants.

Flea Allergy Dermatitis

Hypersensitivity to flea saliva, leading to intense itching.

Food Allergies

Often cause skin and digestive problems due to ingredients like proteins or additives.

Contact Dermatitis

Irritation from surfaces like grass, cleaning products, or plastics.

Ear Infections

Often secondary to allergies or yeast overgrowth, particularly in floppy-eared dogs.

We use advanced diagnostics — including skin scrapings, cytology, and bloodwork — to determine the cause of your pet’s symptoms and recommend a tailored treatment plan.

Relief Through Personalized Treatment

Every pet is unique, and their dermatology care should be, too. Depending on your pet’s diagnosis, we may recommend:

  • Antihistamines, steroids, or other medications
  • Hypoallergenic prescription diets
  • Medicated baths or topical treatments
  • Ear cleaning and infection management
  • Flea and parasite control
  • Allergy testing or long-term immunotherapy

We also offer chronic care management and partner with local specialists as needed to ensure your pet gets the very best care.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Left untreated, skin conditions can worsen quickly and lead to pain, infection, and serious complications. Constant scratching damages your pet’s skin barrier, increasing their risk for secondary infections and long-term inflammation. It can also affect their mood and quality of life.

Our goal is to address the cause — not just the symptoms — and support your pet’s comfort and health long-term.

Healthy Skin Starts at Wimberley Veterinary Clinic

When your pet’s skin and ears are healthy, they’re happier, more energetic, and more at ease in their daily lives. If your dog or cat is showing signs of a dermatological condition, don’t wait — early intervention is key to preventing chronic discomfort. Our experienced team is here to help.
