Flea Control
A flea problem on your pet means a flea problem in your home. Understanding the flea life cycle and methods for its control can be daunting. We will gladly assist you in this process. We can provide safe, effective flea prevention and, if necessary, flea treatment. See the flea article in the Pet Health Library of our site.
Dermatology (Skin)
Skin issues are common in dogs and cats, often caused by allergies, infections, parasites, or hormonal imbalances. While some can be diagnosed through a simple exam, others may require tests like blood work, skin scraping, or biopsies.
If your pet is scratching excessively or has redness, scabs, hair loss, or lumps, contact us for an evaluation.
Cardiology (Heart)
Heart disease can affect pets at any age and may be life-threatening, but early detection and treatment can improve or even cure some cases. It can lead to congestive heart failure (CHF), causing fluid buildup in the lungs or abdomen.
Watch for signs like rapid breathing, coughing, weakness, or loss of appetite. A physical exam and tests like X-rays, ECGs, or ultrasounds can help diagnose heart issues. Contact us if you notice symptoms.
Tonometry
Detecting and treating glaucoma early is crucial to protecting your pet’s vision. We can safely test eye pressure using a painless tonometer, with no sedation needed.
Glaucoma can cause blindness within days if untreated. Pets with eye injuries or at-risk breeds should have regular screenings. Call us if your pet has red eyes, cloudiness, enlarged pupils, squinting, excessive tearing, or rubs their eyes frequently.
Endocrinology (Hormones)
Early detection of endocrine disorders in pets is crucial for effective treatment. These hormone-related conditions affect metabolism, growth, and organ function.
Common issues include diabetes, hypothyroidism (common in dogs), hyperthyroidism (common in cats), and adrenal disorders like Addison’s and Cushing’s disease. Symptoms may include excessive panting, skin problems, hair loss, changes in appetite, weight, energy, or urination.
Contact us if you notice any of these signs.
Medical Assessment
To diagnose your pet, we examine their eyes, ears, skin, and major body systems. Blood and urine tests help assess organ and endocrine function. Additional tests like X-rays, ultrasound, or biopsy may be needed.
If you notice any concerns, call us to schedule an exam—urgent cases may require immediate attention.
