Preventive Care

• Vaccination
• Nutritional Counseling
  Does your pet have any other signs of illness such as coughing/sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, excessive drinking or urination, limping, weight loss or weight gain?

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
• Vomiting Treatment
• Diarrhea Treatment
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Skin allergies are the most common cause of skin itchiness in pets. Although people with allergies typically show respiratory symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, etc.), most pets with allergies display skin/ear symptoms and itching. At PADS, our doctors have advanced training in testing and management of allergic skin disease in pets. The most reliable test for skin allergies in pets is an intradermal allergy test, where potential allergens (including dust mites, pollens, and molds) are injected under the skin. Allergy test results are used to formulate an allergy vaccine (allergy immunotherapy) that is specific for your pet's allergies. At PADS we have an in-house allergy lab that makes allergy testing and formulating your pet's allergy vaccine convenient and accurate.

Infection Treatment

• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
• Ear Infection Treatment
  When my poodle developed a recurring ear infection my regular vet started him on his usual medication. Within days his condition worsened. Over the course of 2 months I watched my dog's health deteriorate. He stopped eating, the inside of his ears would peel like sunburn, his hair was falling out in clumps and masses had developed on the base of his ears. After consulting with 3 different veterinarians plus Cornell Animal Hospital in New York ? no one could figure out what was wrong with my dog. As he got sicker, I found Dr. Palmeiro. On our 1st visit Dr. Palmeiro diagnosed my dog with an immune mediated skin condition. He completely changed the course of treatment and within days my dog was finally on the road to recovery. Thank you Dr. Palmeiro ~ you saved my dog's life and for that I will be forever grateful!

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Thyroid Disease Treatment
• Cancer Treatment
  Skin biopsies are a very useful test in the diagnosis of certain skin disorders. During a skin biopsy, the dermatologist will take small pieces of the skin that are processed into thin sections and examined under the microscope. Skin biopsies are particularly useful in the diagnosis of autoimmune skin disorders and various forms of skin cancer.

Surgery

• Veterinary Surgery
• Laser Surgery
  A surgical laser can be used to remove or ablate certain types of skin lesions and growths/tumors. It can also be used down the video-otoscope where it can aid in the treatment of certain ear canal tumors, polyps, and growths.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
