Hi there! I totally understand how concerning it can be when you notice something unusual with your pet's skin. Skin issues in pets can arise from a variety of causes, such as allergies, infections, parasites like fleas, or even a reaction to something in their environment.
In some cases, minor skin issues may resolve on their own with a little extra care. You can start by gently cleaning the area with a mild, pet-safe solution and ensuring your pet isn't scratching or licking the area, as that can make things worse.
However, it's essential to keep an eye on the skin condition for any signs of a more serious issue. If you notice the area is getting larger, changing color, oozing, or if your pet seems to be in pain, lethargic, or losing their appetite, it’s crucial to seek professional advice, as these could be signs of an infection or another underlying problem.
While taking care of your furry friend at home, it’s always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to their health. Booking a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet can provide you with tailored advice and peace of mind. We're here to help you ensure your pet stays happy and healthy!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
