What should I expect?
You can expect a discussion about the history of your pet and their presenting clinical signs. The doctor will perform a very detailed skin and ear exam and discuss pertinent findings. We will provide you with initial thoughts and a financial estimate for diagnostics and treatments.
Do I need to have a follow-up appointment?
What are allergy shots?
Allergy shots (allergy-specific immunotherapy) are regular shots you give your pet over a pet’s lifetime to control their allergies. Each allergy shot contains small amounts of what your pet is allergic to and stimulates an immune response.
What is a food allergy trial or diet trial?
A food allergy trial is done by removing all diets and treats that may be causing your pet’s allergic response. It is best to perform a diet trial with a nutritionally balanced novel protein or hydrolyzed diet made for pets with food allergies.
