Dermatology Department

Consultations

Consultations allow you to :

• know your pet's medical history. Please bring a complete medical file with all test results.
• learn about the onset of skin disease, the signs observed at home, the evolution of the disease, and the results of any treatments already carried out
• Carry out a detailed clinical examination and check that the animal is not suffering from a more general illness.
• Establish and implement complementary examinations if necessary.
• Establish the most appropriate treatment for a diagnosis and recommend follow-up, particularly in the case of chronic illnesses

Care and maintenance

You have been referred by your veterinarian to the Clinique Vétérinaire AgoraVet in Strasbourg for a specialized dermatology consultation. Consultations are by appointment only.

It is imperative that you assemble all the documents for your visit and follow the advice below:

• Letter of recommendation from your vet.
• Your pet's complete medical file
• Details of any anti-parasite treatments you regularly administer (type of products, dates of use, etc.)
• Avoid all local treatments for several days before the consultation (shampoo, disinfectants, ear treatments, etc.).
• Unless specifically contraindicated, antihistamine-based treatments should be stopped a week before the consultation. Local and oral corticosteroids should be taken 15 days beforehand, and in the case of delayed forms, one month beforehand.
• Present your animal on an empty stomach for additional imaging examinations (scanner, MRI).

A report is systematically forwarded to the attending veterinarian for follow-up.
