We start with obtaining a detailed history of your pet’s condition and a performing a thorough physical examination. Depending on your pet’s symptoms, we may perform a variety of diagnostic tests that may include:
- Allergy testing
- Allergy shots
- Skin cytology (cells are examined under a microscope)
- Skin biopsies
- Dermatohistopathology evaluation
- Bacterial cultures and sensitivity testing
- Skin scrapings
Our team will consult with a board-certified dermatologist via telemedicine who will review your pet’s history, skin images and diagnostic results, and will provide recommendations for treatment and possible further diagnostics. Long-term management is often required for chronic skin conditions, and our staff provides the ongoing support that your pet— and you — require. Call us at (516) 501-1700 to get started today.
All dermatology cases seen at LIVS are reviewed by a board certified dermatologist via telemedicine.
