When to contact a veterinarian about itching
Schedule veterinary guidance when pet itching and scratching is persistent, recurrent, worsening, causing skin damage, or affecting sleep and normal activity. Seek prompt attention for facial swelling, breathing difficulty, severe weakness, rapidly spreading swelling, extensive wounds, or a pet that appears acutely ill.
If you are concerned about pet itching and scratching and want to ask about available veterinary services, contact Riverview Animal Clinic at (417) 847-0034. Bring the names of preventive products and any photos or notes that show how the skin has changed.
