Frequently asked questions
- What types of allergies does Miami Veterinary Dermatology treat?
- Miami Veterinary Dermatology specializes in diagnosing and managing allergic skin disorders in pets. They identify and treat flea allergies, food allergies, and environmental allergies. Dr. Rosales conducts thorough assessments to determine the specific allergy causing discomfort, which may involve multiple visits to pinpoint the exact cause.
- How does Miami Veterinary Dermatology diagnose environmental allergies?
- For pets suffering from environmental allergies, Miami Veterinary Dermatology offers intradermal allergy testing. This method is similar to the skin prick test used in humans and is considered the gold standard for identifying specific environmental allergens. Once identified, an allergen-specific vaccine or immunotherapy is created to help desensitize the pet to these triggers.
- What advanced treatments are available for recurrent ear infections?
- Miami Veterinary Dermatology utilizes video-otoscopy for a detailed view of the ear canal and drum, especially for recurrent ear infections. For chronic infections that have reached the middle ear, they offer state-of-the-art middle ear infection treatment. This involves cleaning the ear under anesthesia using video otoscopy, where a catheter flushes saline into the middle ear and suctions out debris and infection.
- What is the background of the lead veterinarian, Dr. Millie Rosales?
- Dr. Millie Rosales earned her DVM from the University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine, in 2000. She completed a two-year residency in veterinary dermatology at the University of Florida in 2003, subsequently becoming a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Dermatology (ACVD). She previously worked as a general practitioner in Miami and has held leadership positions in local professional organizations.
- Does the clinic treat conditions other than allergies and ear infections?
- Yes, Miami Veterinary Dermatology specializes in diagnosing and managing a wide range of skin disorders beyond allergies and recurrent ear infections. These include skin, paw, and nail infections, parasitic infections such as mange, endocrine and hormonal disorders, autoimmune conditions, keratinization disorders, congenital and hereditary disorders, and certain neoplastic (cancer) conditions.
