• Veterinary Ophthalmology
  Glaucoma is a disease of the eye in which the intraocular pressure is increased. Measurement of Intraocular Pressure is indicated in any patient with red, painful eyes. It is always a part of my examination in geriatric dogs and cats. Glaucoma is painful and should be addressed as soon as signs are noticed.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  My goal here at Animal Wellness Center is to provide you and your pet with the best in holistic veterinary medicine, while integrating conventional veterinary medicine when needed. You and your pet will be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion at all times. I will discuss your pet’s diet, environment, vaccine and medical history, titer testing, natural flea and tick methods, and the array of holistic treatment options available here. My goal is to provide you with enough information to always make informed decisions, and, together, we strive to maintain your pet at peak health for their entire life.
• Pain Management
  Each time she needed realignment and her jaw had to be “opened” more than normal to allow for the intubation, it took her longer and longer to get back to her normal dinner routine. After another procedure in mid October to realign the tube, she was so painful I had to call for pain medication for her. It took a few days before she could drink water or lap up diluted canned cat food without crying and it took about 10 days before she was back to her normal dinner of canned/dry food. At a subsequent check up I was referred to Dr. Rose DiLeva of Animal Wellness Center.
• Vomiting Treatment
  Two years ago Sheldon began to vomit and have diarrhea and Dr. Rose gave him the blood test to determine if he had IBS or lymphoma. Unfortunately Sheldon was diagnosed with lymphoma, and I had to decide what course of treatment would help give Sheldon a quality, longer life. After investigating the options, I decided on Dr. Rose’s recommendation of Vitamin C therapy. Sheldon received several treatments in a row, then once a week and then once a month. Sheldon’s symptoms improved quickly and the excessive vomiting and diarrhea became less and less frequent. Sheldon did not have to endure any painful treatments that made him sick...
• Diarrhea Treatment
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  My first exposure was when I had two adult male Cocker Spaniels suffering from various skin aliments. Other vets had given them antibiotics and steroids which did very little. Dr. Rose recommended allergy testing, which we did. From there, we moved to acupuncture and Chinese herbs along with traditional medicine for other problems incurred. They improved enough to give them a better quality of life.
• Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
  O3UV has proven to effectively treat Lyme disease, auto-immune diseases, viral infections, bacterial infections, allergies, kidney disease, liver disease, respiratory conditions and circulatory illnesses. It is also used as adjunctive treatment in all types of cancer. Additionally, it kills most fungi and yeast.
• Ear Infection Treatment
  The facility failed to note a hairline jaw fracture. Puppy hood and early adulthood were uneventful except for reoccurring ear infections, mostly on the left side. Many times an ear wash was not effective and Clavamox was prescribed. Spring/summer 2004 I noticed that she would no longer take a biscuit out of my hand. She preferred to go lay down and have me put the treat in front of her. She would lick it to soften it and then bite it with her front teeth. Sept 2004, she was diagnosed with TMJ and  arthritis of the jaw by Dr. F. It was determined that the hairline fracture misaligned her jaw, causing the problem At this time was she put on 4 Cosequin DS and 3/4 tablet of Deramaxx per day.I made a biscuit “crusher” that allowed me to smash her biscuits so she could still enjoy her favorite treats. Soon she stopped being able to bark (she never was much of a watchdog) and she could no longer yawn. When you scratched her head she would “smile” – soon this stopped. Christmas, 2005 she started to make a whistling sound. I was referred by my local vet to Dr. S. and he erformed a scope procedure that showed a perforated ear drum and a hole in her Eustachian tube. She never “appeared” sick – the infection was going down her throat instead of out her ear or nose. Jan, 2006 she underwent a procedure to close off the left ear and repair the hole in the Eustachian tube. Feb, 2006 she underwent another procedure to close off the Eustachian tube. In Aug, 2006 she had another procedure that showed another abscess in the old Eustachian tube area. She was put on Clavamox for six weeks. On Sept. 12, 2006 she had another procedure to create a stoma on the side of her face. Because of the area being near her jaw, she popped stitches several times and had to have the tube realigned several times.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
  Chester and I are always greeted with a smile. The warmth is felt and we greatly appreciate it. Chester was diagnosed with hip dysplasia; therefore he receives acupuncture periodically. The office hours are very accommodating.
• Diabetes Treatment
• Thyroid Disease Treatment
  In late summer of 2006 Fluffy started to act oddly – Ravenous appetite, hyperactivity and up all night meowing and squeaking. She was diagnosed by my conventional vet as having hyperthyroidism and started medication. While her thyroid appeared to be stabilized she appeared sick and to be growing more frail. I requested more comprehensive blood work and it was found that Fluffy had chronic renal failure. I was devastated, not to mention angry that the underlying disease had not been identified and that time had passed and had negatively impacted Fluffy’s health. Her diet was changed – She hated the kidney diet food. Fluffy was losing more weight – She was a petite and could not afford to lose the weight. I was told to “get her to eat.” That clearly was not working – No one gets a cat to do anything!

• Cancer Treatment
  Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant, one of the strongest available. Antioxidants counter oxidation which is a process that naturally occurs when cells begin to wear out from aging, illness, arthritis, skin disease, and most importantly cancer. Drugs such as antibiotics, chemotherapy, and radiation diminish the body’s ability to scavenge this oxidation process and the need for antioxidants.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  Dr. Rose Di Leva began a combination of traditional medication, herbal medication and acupuncture over a period of about 4 months. She also initiated blood tests at a national university to insure that Gracie had been properly diagnosed and that she knew exactly what had caused her condition. We followed Dr. Rose Di Leva ‘s wellness plan including positive thoughts. We changed Gracie’s food to a healthy brand after Dr. Rose Di Leva pointed out the ingredients of the food we were using. Week by week Gracie visibly improved. Her coat returned to its original sheen and thickness, her herding gait returned and after each acupuncture treatment, she had the energy of a puppy. Five years later, Gracie is now 7 years old and up to her old tricks. She herds our two cats, guards the house loudly and when it snows, we have to urge her back in the house as she loves to run and roll in the snow. Gracie gets a couple of wellness treatments with Dr. Rose Di Leva during the year as a special treat. Gracie knows when she is going for a well visit and runs up the ramp to the office.
• X-Ray
• Microchipping
  Microchipping is both easy and affordable at Animal Wellness Center. We utilize Home Again ( www.homeagain.com ) microchips. Your pet will be comfortable. We will first place a topical numbing agent, 2% lidocaine, onto your pet’s skin located between the shoulder blades.  The microchip (134.3 kHz microchip) is then injected under the skin.  The pet owner is then given a sheet to fill out and send to Home Again to register their pet and pay for Home Again membership. The cost of placing the microchip is $45.
