Dermatology

The Dermatology Service at UVHvets is available to help those pets that experience skin disease. We know how frustrating skin conditions can be for the quality of life of your pet as well as your relationship with them. As a board-certified veterinary dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Woodward works to determine the underlying cause of different conditions, like ear and skin infections, so that they stop recurring. She has advanced training and certification in all aspects of skin disease, including:

Hair loss
Itchy skin (licking, chewing, scratching)
Rashes/crusts/pustules
Skin infections (including resistant Staphylococcus (MRSP) and yeast)
Ear infections
Bumps/nodules/masses
Draining tracts
Nail disease
Hormonal diseases (Cushing’s disease, hypothyroidism)
Immune-mediated skin diseases like lupus and pemphigus

As many skin diseases are chronic and potentially life-long, Dr. Woodward and her dedicated staff will work with you and your veterinarian to determine the best treatment plan for your pet. Some of the Dermatologic Services offered at UVH with Dr. Woodward include:

Intradermal allergy testing
Serum (blood) allergy testing
Video otoscopy
Bacterial culture and susceptibility testing
