This week’s segment features Gizmo the 7 year old yorkie! 🐾 Gizmo came to us for excessive itching and scratching at his body and ears. Gizmo was diagnosed and treated for atopic dermatitis which is an allergy flare in dogs with a subsequent yeast and bacterial infection in the skin and ears. One of the great products we have here at Emerson Animal Hospital is our line of Atopivet products from Dechra. These products help to maintain the lipid barrier of the skin and decrease the allergic response which causes the discomfort and itchiness. We also carry additional products to target yeast and bacterial infections in the skin. We strive to get your pet to a healthy maintenance level with regards to allergies as we know this can be one of the most frustrating things to deal with as a pet owner. 🐾
