Dermatology in Altamonte Springs

Addressing root causes, not symptoms
stethoscope icon
Skin problems in pets are among the most frustrating conditions to deal with — for both the animal and their owner. A dog that won’t stop itching, a cat with recurring sores, or a pet with a coat that never looks quite right can all signal underlying issues that need proper evaluation rather than repeated rounds of the same treatment. At Westmonte Animal Clinic, we take skin and coat concerns seriously, providing dermatology services in Altamonte Springs that address the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.

Skin Conditions We Evaluate and Treat

Diagnosing and treating complex skin conditions
Dogs and cats can develop a wide range of dermatological conditions, and the symptoms often overlap, which makes skin disease tricky to diagnose without a thorough workup. We evaluate and treat a wide range of dermatological conditions, including:
Seborrhea
Folliculitis
Skin Fold Infections
Lick Granulomas
Mange (Caused by Mites)
Ringworm (Fungal Infection)
Hot Spots (Acute Moist Dermatitis)
Pyoderma (Bacterial Skin Infections)
We also assess and biopsy masses or abnormal skin growths to determine whether they require further treatment.

Ear disease is closely linked to dermatology because chronic ear infections are often caused by underlying allergies or skin conditions. If your pet keeps getting ear infections, we look beyond the ear canal to figure out the underlying cause.

Getting to the Bottom of Chronic Skin Problems

Thorough diagnostics and long-term solutions for skin issues
When a pet has been dealing with skin issues for a long time, or the same problem keeps returning after treatment, we step back and look at the full picture. We’ll review your pet’s history, thoroughly examine their skin and coat, and may perform diagnostics such as skin cytology, fungal and bacterial cultures, skin scrapings, or biopsies to identify the underlying cause.

Treatment plans are tailored to the diagnosis. Depending on the findings, management may include topical medications, oral antibiotics or antifungals, medicated baths, prescription anti-itch medications, dietary adjustments, or allergy management. Some skin conditions resolve quickly, while others require ongoing management. Either way, we’ll set realistic expectations in terms of treatment length and costs and keep you informed throughout the process.
