Medical Conditions — Pet Health Library

Veterinarian-reviewed guides to diagnosed conditions. Every resource is written or medically reviewed by Dr. Susset Diaz Castillo, DVM, PhD.

• Kidney Disease in Senior Cats — Chronic kidney disease affects a large share of cats over age 10 — but caught early, most cats live comfortably for years with the right diet, hydration support, and monitoring.
• Pancreatitis in Dogs — Pancreatitis — inflammation of the pancreas — ranges from mild stomach upset to a life-threatening emergency in dogs. It classically follows a fatty meal, and it's a diagnosis worth confirming, not guessing.
• Skin Disorders in Dogs and Cats: Causes, Symptoms, and In-Home Veterinary Care — Skin disorders (dermatopathies) are among the most common reasons pets visit the vet. In South Florida's humid climate, environmental allergies (atopy), flea allergy dermatitis, and secondary bacterial or yeast infections frequently cause severe itching, redness, and hair loss. Early in-home diagnostic testing identifies the root cause while avoiding stressful clinic trips that can worsen skin flare-ups.
