Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Many dogs and cats suffer painful dental conditions because their pet parents are afraid of anesthesia. At Hope Animal Hospital we are well aware of the love you have for your pet and your fear that something might go wrong. We also talk to clients who return for their post operative visits and are delighted that their older pets are acting like puppies and kittens again after dental work or surgery.
• Vaccination
  Vaccination: The veterinarian will give vaccinations as indicated by your puppy’s age and health status. Below are listed diseases your veterinarian will consider vaccinating against at this time.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Our veterinarian and veterinary staff have a lot of experience in the St. Louis area. From routine exams, to urgent care visits, to advanced surgery, Hope Animal Hospital will be able to take care of your pet's needs. In case your pet needs the care of a specialist, our Veterinarian can help you select the best one for you and your pet.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal condition of dogs, cats, and other species of mammals. The parasite that causes heartworm disease is Dirofilaria immitis. It is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito. The adult stage of the parasite is found in the heart and major blood vessels of infected animals.
• Pain Management
  Postoperative Pain Medication Omitting pain medication is not an option at Hope Animal Hospital. We have seen over the years how much better pets do with pain medication and we will not deny them an important part of their recovery.
• Diarrhea Treatment
• Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
  Adenovirus 2: Protects against the respiratory disease of the same name and cross protects against adenovirus 1, the virus that causes deadly infectious canine hepatitis (the H in DHPP).

Infection Treatment

• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
• Feline Retro Virus Treatment
  FeLV/FIV Combo Test: Your kitten will be tested for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Both of these deadly contagious diseases attack a cat’s immune system. The diseases can be dormant for periods of time, so testing is the only way to make sure your pet is free from these viruses. During the dormant period kittens are contagious to other cats.
• Ear Infection Treatment
  Ear Cytology: Ear infections are common in young puppies and if your pet is infected we will want to know the cause. Two ear cytology tests are included in this package if your pet has an ear problem. Medications for ear infections vary and will not be covered by this program.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Thyroid Disease Treatment
• Heart Disease Treatment
  Monitoring of patient temperature, heart rate, respiration, ECG, and oxygenation of the patient’s blood Monitoring these vital signs lets us know if a problem is occurring early on and we can respond to it appropriately.
• Kidney Disease Treatment
  Anesthesia: Almost everybody sites anesthesia as their biggest concern and number one reason to not pursue dental work. It is natural to be concerned about your pet and there is some risk with anesthesia but if you do not have dental work done in a timely manner your pet could suffer with infection, constant pain, some types of heart disease, and some cases of kidney disease as a result of their dental disease. Many will die as a result of complications from what started as a simple dental problem. There is much lower risk of serious anesthesia complications than the risk of serious complications from untreated dental disease. Hope Animal Hospital is also concerned about anesthesia and using good technique reduces the risk substantially. Below are listed the extra steps we take to provide a safe and comfortable anesthetic experience for your pet.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  Extractions: Extractions are an unfortunate reality when periodontal disease has gone beyond a certain point. Extractions can be traumatic if good technique and instrumentation is not used. At Hope Animal Hospital we have invested in high speed drills and advanced hand tools in order to make extractions easier on your pet.

Surgery
