Allergies don’t affect just people—pets can get them too. The staff at Mildura Veterinary Hospital is well qualified to treat any cat or dog skin care problems your pet might have. Cat and dog allergies fall into four main categories: environmental and inhalant allergy (atopy); biting insect allergy, usually flea allergy dermatitis (FAD); and food allergy. Some pets become very itchy after contact with certain grasses and plants present in the garden & parks. The veterinarian will provide you with a plan & soothing treatments to resolve this chronic problem.

Blood Tests
Our patients are not able to tell us if they feel unwell, if a fatty meal makes them nauseous or if it hurts when they sit down. Blood tests are therefore very important in assisting our veterinarians in diagnosing problems and illnesses in our pets.
