A Team of Masters, United with a Single Purpose
The team is composed of three seasoned veterinarians and one dedicated veterinary nurse - the unstoppable force known as Dr. Ursula Mayer (Diplomate ECVD, Small Animal Dermatology Specialist, Certificate in Veterinary Dermatology), Anja Lange (Veterinarian, ECVD Residency alum), Miriam Utzmann (Veterinarian, ECVD Residency alum), and Denise Feik (Veterinary Nurse, Dermatology Specialist). With over 40 years of veterinary training combined and countless years of dermatology specialization, they're a rarity and a precious asset in southern Germany.
Welcome to Skinville: Where Complex Issues are No Match for Us
InDr. Ursula Mayer's own words, "Skin conditions are usually long-term and incredibly stressful for both pets and their owners. We listen attentively, thoroughly investigate every cause, and apply our wealth of experience, knowledge, and unwavering respect for patients." The team handles a myriad of cases spanning food allergies, itchy conditions, hormonal disorders, and autoimmune diseases such as pemphigus foliaceus and lupus erythematosus. They also offer comprehensive treatment for therapy-resistant ear infections, misdiagnosed infections, and rare genetic diseases.
Stress-Free Veterinary Care: A Top Priority
Our patients' well-being and comfort is paramount. In a serene and relaxed atmosphere, medical histories are gathered, allowing pets to become more accustomed to their surroundings. Examinations are conducted with gentleness, with the occasional unavoidable but minimized slightly-uncomfortable interventions.
State-of-the-Art Tools at Our Fingertips
From CO2 and diode lasers for precise surgeries to high-resolution microscopes for direct cytological examinations, we're equipped with the latest technology to provide fast, targeted, and less-painful diagnostics and treatments. Future plans include minimally invasive middle ear surgery and potentially the introduction of electrochemotherapy for skin tumors. We're also pioneering fecal transplants for microbiome therapy.
