Identify Uncommon Diseases with Skin Biopsies
Skin biopsies are a helpful tool for diagnosis of unusual or complicated conditions. This includes auto-immune diseases, cancers, and unresolving infections.

Raleigh Skin Biopsies at Carolina Veterinary Dermatology Clinic
At Carolina Veterinary Dermatology Clinic, skin biopsies are an essential diagnostic tool used to identify underlying causes of persistent or unexplained skin conditions. A skin biopsy involves taking a small sample of your pet’s skin, which is then examined microscopically to detect issues such as tumors, autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, or severe allergic reactions. This procedure allows for an accurate diagnosis, leading to more targeted and effective treatment. Skin biopsies are minimally invasive, and our team ensures your pet’s comfort throughout the process.
If your pet is experiencing chronic skin issues or abnormal growths, a skin biopsy may provide crucial insights into their condition and guide the best treatment plan.
