Return to: Referral Services and Internal Medicine

Skin problems in horses are common and can be difficult to diagnose. Our hospital offers routine appointments and accepts referrals for all types of dermatological conditions, including:

  • Allergies/immune mediated conditions
  • Infectious diseases (bacterial, fungal, parasitic, protozoal or viral)
  • Congenital disorders
  • Chemical and toxic dermatoses
  • Changes in skin or hair colour
  • Localised or widespread swelling, or nodular diseases
  • Nutritional disorders
  • Endocrine disorders
  • Traumatic or physical disorders

Our own medicine specialists work alongside Dr Janet Littlewood, who is an RCVS recognised Specialist and acts as our consultant in dermatology. She holds the RCVS Diploma in Veterinary Dermatology.
