Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend a dermatologist in or around Middlesex New Jersey? Olive has had ongoing unidentified spots on her underbelly. They do not seem to be bothering her. Our vet visit today was inconclusive, but I was given omega-3 fatty assets to start her own period my vet recommended if they do not go away with that or should get worse then I should see a dermatologist. I have attached pictures of these spots if they look familiar to anyone, your input is welcome.

It might be a little far but Dr P at Lehigh Valley Veterinary Dermatology is who I took my sphynx Agnes to and also my mastiff Otto. They are really great! The staff is wonderful as well.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, it is very far, about an hour and a half from me however, I will definitely keep them in mind. Any thoughts on the pictures of the spots?

Hard to tell in the pictures. My girl had reoccurring rashes and yeast infections and ended up having seasonal allergies

The breeder has been great with so much. I did send her pics of Olives skin and she seemed to think it was dry patches from the looks in the picture. She recommended vetericyn, which I used, without much help. I have not asked her about dermatologists.

Going to our major NJ veterinary center internist Monday. Will try to ask about their dermatology capabilities as I don't see it listed as a specific specialty. There are two we have used sucrssfully for one specialty ot another with units all through NJ. I don't know if I’m allowed to just put their names in the site, so message me and I will respond who they are.
