Note to all animal owners out there - if you really want to get to the bottom of your animal's skin or ear condition that's been going on for the past four years - do NOT book a 10 minute consult on a Friday night at 6:45pm before the bank holiday weekend. After 20 morning consults, 4 surgeries, 2 dentals, countless phone calls & referrals, 30 minutes on the phone fighting with the red tape that is banking bureaucracy and 10 evening consults...this is NOT the time to try to address your animal's chronic poorly managed skin condition.
In an ideal world several skin scrapings and hair pluckings would be taken, along with extensive history including all food eaten in the past 6 months, and a thorough physical exam possibly including blood tests. In the real world on a Friday night you will get steroids, a medicated shampoo and a flea treatment and told to come back in a week. NEXT!!!
