Small Animal Dermatology

The Dermatology Unit at the Animal Health Trust offers a comprehensive referral service for all small animal and equine skin disorders. Jane Coatesworth runs the unit, and has considerable experience in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic, immune mediated, parasitic and infectious conditions.

The Unit has an excellent video otoscope and access to high quality radiography and MRI for the thorough diagnosis of ear conditions.

Patients receive individually tailored treatment programmes and as much long-term follow-up as is appropriate to each case.

The Unit has fruitful collaboration with colleagues in other disciplines when cases benefit from a multi-disciplinary approach.
