Euthanasia
Euthanasia, also known as mercy killing, in pets is a topic that raises ethical and emotional considerations among pet owners and veterinarians alike. When a pet is suffering from severe illness, injury, or old age with no prospect of recovery, euthanasia is often considered as a compassionate option to end their suffering. It involves administering a painless injection that induces a peaceful and humane passing for the pet.
The decision to euthanize a pet is never taken lightly and typically involves careful discussions between the pet owner and the veterinarian. Factors such as the pet's quality of life, pain level, and prognosis are carefully evaluated before reaching a decision. While euthanasia can be a difficult choice, many pet owners view it as a final act of love and kindness to relieve their beloved companion from unnecessary suffering.
It's important for pet owners to seek guidance and support from their veterinarian during this emotional and challenging time. Veterinarians are trained to provide compassionate care and support to both pets and their owners throughout the euthanasia process, ensuring that it is carried out with dignity and respect for the animal's welfare.

Atopic/Allergic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is a common skin allergy in dogs and cats, causing itching, redness, and recurring infections. At Jeeva Pet Hospital, Bangalore, we offer expert diagnosis, allergy testing, diet trials, and customized treatment to help your pet live comfortably and itch-free.
What is Atopic Dermatitis/Allergy in Pets?
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, itchy, inflammatory skin condition caused by environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, or mold. It’s similar to eczema in humans.
Pets with atopic dermatitis develop an overactive immune response to these allergens, leading to uncomfortable itching, redness, and skin infections. This condition is common in dogs and cats, and often requires ongoing management.
Common triggers include:
Pollen (trees, grasses, weeds)
House dust mites
Mold spores
Certain foods (less common, but possible)
At Jeeva Pet Hospital, we understand how distressing it can be to see your pet constantly scratching. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and managing allergic skin conditions in pets.
Common Signs of Atopic Dermatitis
It can be hard to know if your pet’s scratching is normal or a sign of an allergy. Look out for these common signs of atopic dermatitis:
Persistent itching and scratching
Excessive licking, chewing, or biting at the skin
Red, inflamed, or thickened skin
Hair loss or bald patches
Recurrent ear infections
Bad odor from skin or ears
Scabs, sores, or hot spots
Symptoms often get worse seasonally or after exposure to certain allergens. Early detection and treatment can reduce discomfort and prevent secondary infections.
Diagnosis & Allergy Testing at Jeeva Pet Hospital
Diagnosing atopic dermatitis requires a thorough veterinary exam to rule out other causes of itching (parasites, infections, food allergies).
At Jeeva Pet Hospital, our approach includes:
Detailed medical history and symptom review
Skin scrapings and cytology to check for infections or mites
Food elimination trials (if food allergy is suspected)
Allergy testing (intradermal skin testing or serum testing) for environmental allergens
By identifying your pet’s specific triggers, we can create an effective treatment plan that targets the cause—not just the symptoms.
Personalized Treatment Plans
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for atopic dermatitis. At Jeeva Pet Hospital, we design personalized treatment plans tailored to your pet’s needs and lifestyle.
Treatment options may include:
Medications to control itching (antihistamines, steroids, Apoquel®, Cytopoint®)
Allergy immunotherapy (allergen-specific desensitization)
Medicated baths and topical therapies to soothe irritated skin
Treatment for secondary bacterial or yeast infections
Diet elimination trials to rule out or manage food allergies
Environmental management to reduce exposure to known allergens
Diet trials can be a crucial part of the process. By switching to a carefully selected, hypoallergenic diet under veterinary supervision, we can determine whether food ingredients are contributing to your pet’s itching. Identifying and removing these triggers can significantly improve their comfort and reduce the need for long-term medication.
Our goal is to improve your pet’s quality of life while minimizing side effects and providing practical, sustainable solutions for you at home.Holistic Support & Long-Term Care
