DERMATOLOGY

Dermatology is the diagnosis, treatment and management of various skin conditions including licking and scratching, allergies, parasitic infestations, autoimmune diseases, lump checks and lump removal. Skin conditions are extremely common in Queensland but there are many therapies that can help. We believe that no dog or cat should suffer with skin conditions that are preventable or treatable. There are options to suit all budgets and situations. 

FEET LICKERS

Does your dog lick their feet all the time? Are they keeping you awake at night? Many owner's are under the impression this is normal behaviour but it can actually be the sign of a dermatological condition that can be treated effectively. The experienced vets at Vets in Zillmere have years of experience in treating skin complaints and bringing some relief to both you and your pets. 

SHAKING HEAD

Is your dog shaking their head? Scratching at the ears or shaking of the head can be a sign of an ear infection. Our dogs can't tell us how itchy their ears are so these are their subtle (or not so subtle) signs for us to look for!

SWOLLEN FACE

Do you have a puppy who started the day looking their usual beautiful self but finished it with a face puffed up like a puffer fish?! Puppies are naturally inquisitive and like putting their faces into places they shouldn't. Sometimes insect bites can cause quite dramatic swollen faces, which look bad but can also lead to breathing issues in extreme cases. Immediate veterinary care should be obtained in this situation.
