Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Dental care is vital to the overall health of any animal. Dental disease can lead to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.
• Vaccination
  One of the most important aspects of caring for your pet’s health is vaccinating them against potential diseases. There are a variety of diseases that affect our pets and animals. This makes proper vaccination vital in protecting them from the many types of illnesses they are susceptible to, such as rabies, parvo, distemper, and influenza, to name a few.
• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  Medically, Dr. Rudnick is particularly interested in ophthalmology and eye disorders, which are often quite challenging and can even be closely tied to internal medicine and systemic diseases. Dr. Rudnick recently obtained her acupuncture certification and is excited to use her skills to relieve pets’ pain.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Weight gain - There is little evidence to support the claim that pets will gain weight after being spayed or neutered. Once your pet has recovered fully from surgery and had their sutures removed, they should return to an active lifestyle and should be on a balanced, age-appropriate diet.
• Comprehensive Examination
  At Austin Urban Vet Center, we believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are critical to your pet’s well-being. These wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their own unique bodies and tendencies.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Next, we suggest blood and fecal testing to screen for parasites and diseases. This gives us a more complete picture of your pet’s overall condition and, if necessary, we can suggest treatment to help.
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
• Pain Management
• Vomiting Treatment
• Diarrhea Treatment
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  Many pets we see have had skin issues for months, or even years with itchiness, scabbing, or hair loss. Your pet’s veterinarian can discuss options that will help diagnose the underlying condition that is causing the skin problems. Tests may include allergy testing, looking at skin preparations under a microscope, and possibly even skin biopsies. These results will guide your pet’s veterinarian decide what treatment options are best for you and your pet, and what will allow the quickest resolution of your pet’s skin condition.
