When an Itch Is More Than Just an Itch
Is your pet scratching more than usual?
It might seem harmless - just a quick itch here or there - but persistent scratching, licking, or biting could be a sign that your pet is in some serious discomfort.
Here are a few signs that it’s time to get it checked out:
🐾 Constant scratching or licking
🐾 Red, inflamed, or flaky skin
🐾Chewing their paws or rubbing their face
🐾Hair loss or bald patches
🐾Sudden sensitivity to touch or mood changes
Possible causes?
🐾 Fleas or mites
🐾 Allergies
🐾 Skin infections
🐾 Other medical issues, such as hormone conditions
The good news? These issues are often treatable, especially when caught early. If your pet is feeling itchy, uncomfortable, or just not themselves, book a check-up with our vets to help them get back to their normal selves!
