Dermatology
Your pet’s skin and coat are essential indicators of their overall health. Veterinary dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating a wide range of skin conditions, from allergies and infections to autoimmune disorders and chronic itching. Many pets suffer from dermatological issues that can cause discomfort, hair loss, and even secondary infections. Dr Peri Lau-Gillard is dedicated to identifying the root cause of your pet’s skin problems and providing effective, long-lasting treatments.
Skin conditions can be caused by various factors, including food or environmental allergies, parasites, hormonal imbalances, or genetic predispositions. Dr Peri Lau-Gillard uses advanced diagnostic techniques such as skin cytology, allergy testing, and biopsies to create a tailored treatment plan. Whether your pet needs medicated shampoos, prescription medications, or allergy management strategies, Dr Peri Lau-Gillard is here to help restore their comfort and health.
