Feline upper airway infections, sometimes called upper respiratory infections, […]
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Glaucoma is a painful condition that can lead to blindness if left untreated. Glaucoma is less common in cats than in dogs. The process of measuring the pressure inside the eye is called tonometry. This procedure is used to diagnose glaucoma. What Is Glaucoma? The structures inside the eye, such as the iris and lens, are surrounded […]
Nutritional Counseling
Exercise can have many health benefits for your dog. Regular exercise burns calories, reduces appetite, improves muscle tone, increases metabolism, and improves temperature regulation. It can be a valuable contributor to weight loss and maintenance. Exercise can also help stimulate your dog’s mind, thereby preventing boredom and destructive behaviors.
Comprehensive Examination
Preventative health care is vital to ensuring the health and well-being of your pet. This starts with a comprehensive physical exam which allows the doctor to make recommendations depending on the age and lifestyle of your pet.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Adult fleas are only part of the problem. Immature fleas (eggs and larvae) contribute to flea infestation, too. Your pet does not have to go outside to get fleas. Your veterinarian is a reliable source of information on safe and effective flea control products for your pet and home. What Are Fleas? Fleas are blood-feeding […]

Coccidiosis is an intestinal condition caused by a single-celled parasite. Dogs and cats swallow cysts containing the parasite from contaminated environments, usually during grooming. Signs of coccidiosis include watery diarrhea with blood or mucus, and possibly vomiting and lethargy (tiredness). Puppies and kittens are more severely affected than adult animals. People cannot be infected with […]
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Allergy testing is most commonly performed to determine if a pet has atopy, also known as atopic dermatitis or allergic inhalant dermatitis. Allergy tests can help identify the specific allergens causing a pet’s allergy problem. Once a list of “problem” allergens is identified, a specialized serum containing small quantities of these allergens can be formulated specifically for your […]
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium associated with a highly contagious respiratory disease in dogs. It is one of the leading bacterial causes of “kennel cough” in dogs.

Cats that are positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are more likely to develop lymphoma than cats that test negative for the virus. Boxers, golden retrievers, […]
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Ehrlichiosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks. Clinical signs of ehrlichiosis may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, painful joints, and lethargy (tiredness). Many veterinarians diagnose ehrlichiosis using a SNAP test. SNAP testing requires a very small blood sample and takes just a few minutes at your veterinarian’s office. Sometimes additional diagnostic testing is recommended. […]
Ear Infection Treatment
Chronic ear infections may involve bacterial or yeast overgrowth in the external, middle, or inner ear. Chronic infection can permanently damage the ear canal and cause pain, neurologic signs, and deafness. Ear infections are usually secondary to an underlying condition that allows for an unhealthy ear environment. Treatment is based on eliminating the bacteria or […]
Anal Gland Infection Treatment
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
Urine marking is a natural, instinctive behavior in dogs, but it becomes inappropriate when dogs urinate in the house to identify their territory. Urine marking is most common with sexually intact male dogs, but intact female dogs and neutered dogs may also mark.

Obesity Treatment
Understanding pet food labels is the first step in choosing the right food to help make an optimal nutritional plan for a pet. Animals require specific nutrients from the ingredients in their foods. The new regulation to include calorie information on pet food labels might help decrease the number of overweight pets. Pet owners can […]
Diabetes Treatment
Most diabetic dogs have diabetes mellitus type 1, meaning the body fails to make enough insulin to serve its needs. After treatment for diabetes begins, periodic blood and urine tests may be recommended to help ensure that the insulin dosage is right for your dog. Many dogs live active, happy lives once their diabetes is […]
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Hyperthyroidism occurs when a cat’s thyroid gland (an organ located at the front of the neck) produces excess amounts of thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism tends to affect middle-aged and older cats. Hyperthyroidism causes the heart to pump faster, which can lead to other problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. In some cats with […]
Epilepsy Treatment
Knee Problems Treatment
Patellar luxation occurs when the pet’s patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position on the femur bone, causing pain, lameness, and instability in the knee. Severity of patellar luxation is graded on a scale of 1 to 4. Surgical correction may be recommended. Failure to treat patellar luxation can result in arthritis and lead […]
Heart Disease Treatment
Digoxin is a medication used to treat congestive heart failure and certain heart rhythm abnormalities in dogs and cats. A digoxin level test requires a blood sample from your dog or cat, and the test can be performed at the hospital on an outpatient basis. The test results help determine if the dose of digoxin […]
Kidney Disease Treatment
Antifreeze poisoning occurs when pets drink antifreeze containing ethylene glycol. The liver quickly breaks down ethylene glycol into toxic products that can lead to kidney failure and death. Even a small amount of antifreeze can be fatal to dogs and cats. Antifreeze poisoning is a medical emergency, and early treatment is crucial. Signs include: staggering, […]
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and affects most dogs before they are 3 years old. Bacteria from periodontal disease can spread to affect other organs and cause illness. Before you start brushing your dog’s teeth, have them checked by your veterinarian. Make toothbrushing enjoyable for your dog by rewarding him or her immediately […]

An accurate diagnosis and proper staging of a pet’s cancer are essential in order to pursue the best treatment and achieve the best possible outcome. Cancer treatment in pets is designed to provide the best […]

Wound and Fracture Care
An abscess forms when infection, inflammation, and damaged cells cannot be cleared by the body. Abscesses can occur when bacteria are deposited under the skin (as with bite wounds or other wounds).

Declawing
Scratching is a natural cat behavior, but it can be destructive in a household. Declaw surgery generally involves the removal of all or a portion of the last bone in each digit of the forepaws. Younger cats (under a year of age) tolerate the surgery better than older or obese cats. Declawing is painful and […]

X-Ray
Dental Radiology

Sedation or anesthesia is necessary so that your pet can be properly positioned for dental radiography. What Is Dental Radiography? A radiograph (sometimes called an x-ray) is a type of photograph that reveals the body’s bones and […]
Microchipping
It is recommended that you identify your pet even if you don’t plan to let him or her go outside. Even “indoor” pets can get out by accident, and many lost pets are never returned to their owners because they have no identification. Collars and tags are popular, effective methods of identification, but they can come off. Microchips, which are implanted just under the pet’s skin, are one way to permanently identify pets.
