A Cheshire animal hospital has launched a dermatology service with the appointment of a specialist vet as it expands its service offering for pets with skin conditions.
Eleanor Wyatt, the new head of dermatology at Linnaeus-owned Northwest Veterinary Specialists (NWVS) in Cheshire, will use her expertise to treat patients affected by ear disease and serious skin, hair and paw conditions.
NWVS has launched the service to deal with the growing demand for treatment for dermatologic conditions, which will enable it to provide more a more holistic treatment programme for pets.
The new service will collaborate with the hospital’s diagnostic imaging and internal medicine services to address potential underlying causes of more complex cases, as well as with the soft tissue surgery and neurology teams for the diagnosis and management of middle and inner ear diseases.
Eleanor, who is an RCVS-recognised specialist and European diplomate in dermatology, said: “The launch of a dermatology service at NWVS is very exciting and our combination of expertise, experience and technology will enable us to achieve rapid and accurate diagnoses.
“This is essential for selecting the most appropriate therapy for each individual case and ensuring we deliver the best possible care.
“The new dermatology service will also benefit from collaboration with the diagnostic imaging and internal medicine services at the hospital to address potential underlying causes of more complex dermatology cases.
“Our in-house specialists in soft tissue surgery allows for the surgical management of appropriate cases too, so I am very much looking forward to working in such a high-quality, multidisciplinary, specialist-led environment.”
Eleanor’s responsibilities will include looking after patients with severe skin and ear disease, often caused by atopic dermatitis, autoimmune diseases, or parasites, and liaising closely with their owners and referring vets.
She added: “I am keen to start work on relieving patients of the chronic itch they have sometimes suffered from for years, or the ear infections that they regularly have to endure.
“These successes bring comfort and relief to the pet and their owners too and seeing the positive impact we have on that pet-human bond is a privilege.”
Jenny Pearson, hospital manager at NWVS, said: “Eleanor is a fantastic addition to our growing team at NWVS. Her expertise will help us launch a service will further improve our ability to offer a holistic service for all the pets which need our care.
“It’s a service we’re sure will be successful and we will look to grow in future as it develops.”
