UF Large Animal Hospital
Dermatology
Specializing in skin disease diagnosis and treatment for large animals.
The Dermatology Service at the UF Large Animal Hospital is a leading center for equine and large animal dermatology, serving clients from across the United States. Our team of specialized veterinarians and dermatologists provide expert care for a range of skin disorders, including those uniquely common in Florida’s tropical climate.
Dr. Rosanna Marsella, a board-certified equine dermatologist, has a particular interest in equine allergies and is experienced in:
- Intradermal skin testing to identify allergens and develop individualized vaccines
- Skin cytologies and biopsies for histopathology to diagnose skin conditions
- Cultures to diagnose bacterial and fungal infections
The UF Dermatology service is equipped to handle even the most complex skin cases, from simple skin lesions to more intricate conditions such as pythiasis, mange, and autoimmune disorders. Our team works closely with equine veterinarians to provide comprehensive care, incorporating the latest diagnostic techniques and treatment options.
We welcome referrals from veterinarians and horse owners worldwide, including from the Ocala and Gainesville areas, and offer expert care for equine and large animal patients with skin conditions.
