Veterinary Dermatology

Assessment of skin conditions, parasitoses, and hair analysis in companion and exotic animals.

Veterinary dermatology brings unique challenges due to the diversity of species, coats, and skin conditions. Smart G-Scope enables veterinarians to examine the skin and hair of dogs, cats, horses, birds, and exotic animals with enough detail to support clinical assessment.

It can help identify ectoparasites such as mange mites, fleas, and lice, as well as support the evaluation of fungal infections, allergic dermatitis, and follicular disorders, often without aggressive scraping as a first step.

Visual documentation supports treatment follow-up and improves communication with owners, who appreciate being able to see their pet’s progress.

Smart G-Scope is a visualization and documentation tool, not a medical device. Clinical interpretation remains the responsibility of qualified professionals.

Key benefits

  • Rapid identification of ectoparasites and fungal patterns
  • Assessment of coat quality and follicular density
  • Longitudinal documentation of dermatitis and alopecias
  • Effective visual communication with owners
  • Use in clinic, home visits, or farms

Practical examples

Sarcoptic mange assessment

A veterinarian uses Smart G-Scope to examine lesions on a dog with intense pruritus. Mites and eggs are visualized at crust edges, supporting a mange diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Feline atopic dermatitis follow-up

In a cat with chronic allergic dermatitis, the microscope helps document skin improvement after dietary adjustments, showing the owner reduced erythema and excoriations.

Limitations & best practices

  • Animal immobilization may require assistance or mild sedation.
  • Interpret findings in the context of species and breed.
  • Confirm parasitological diagnosis with skin scrapings when needed.
