• Skin Scraping

  Fungus Examination Routine is a microscope test of skin scrapings that can help find fungal skin infections such as ringworm in dogs and cats. A separate fungal culture can grow the fungus.

  Urine, Stool & Skin TestsSample: Skin scrapingsSingle test: ₹300

• Fungal Culture

  Fungal culture grows fungi from hair and skin scrapings and can help find out if a dog or cat has ringworm and which fungus is behind it. It is used for bald patches, scaly skin and sores that do not heal.

  IgE (Immunoglobulin E) is a blood test that measures IgE, an antibody the body makes in allergy and in some parasite infections. It can give your vet a clue when a dog or cat has long-term itching or skin problems.
