During this exam our doctors will discuss vaccinations, dental care, skin issues, diet & nutrition and preventative care, along with any additional questions or concerns you may have. Our exams include a full review of your dog’s health history, including vaccines and behavioral concerns. During this exam, the doctor and veterinary technician will assess the annual health condition, check vitals, and do a thorough dental evaluation. Preventative care, such as blood work, is important and may be offered for early diagnosis of unforeseen problems. Preventative care will give our veterinarians a baseline to tell us what is normal for your pet, and a chance to treat disease early.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  For your pet’s safety, we require dogs be current on rabies, distemper, kennel cough, and have had a fecal test or deworming within the last six months. All cats must be vaccinated against rabies, distemper, and have had a fecal test or deworming within the last six months.
• Behavioral Disorder Treatment
  Three to four of the most common viruses in cats that make up” feline distemper” are airborne viruses that can be contracted inside or on the lanai. Should your cat escape and encounter a feral or territorial Tom cat the possibility of infection with feline leukemia or feline aids does exist. If you ever have a personal emergency where you have to board your cat or a medical emergency where your cat must be hospitalized, the unvaccinated cat could be vulnerable to any of the feline diseases.
• Pain Management
  Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals.  Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don’t whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it.  Pain medications needed will depend on the surgery performed.  Major procedures require more pain relief than things like minor lacerations.
• Vomiting Treatment
• Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
  If your pet is frequently itching, scratching or biting his skin, he may be suffering from an allergy or skin condition. Veterinary dermatology treats common skin conditions and pet allergies, addressing both the underlying cause for your pet’s discomfort as well as providing immediate relief from painful symptoms. Our veterinarians have significant experience treating pet allergies and skin conditions. Our advanced diagnostic tests make it easier for our veterinary dermatology team to precisely identify the skin condition affecting your pet and take immediate steps to relieve your pet’s pain.
• Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
  Kennel Cough is a respiratory disease usually contracted in areas where large numbers of dogs are housed such as a kennel, grooming salon, dog park, and beach. It is transmitted by nose-to-nose contact so they can get it from any dog. There is a vaccination available for protection against Kennel Cough.

Infection Treatment

• Leptospirosis Treatment
• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
• Feline Retro Virus Treatment
  FeLV/FIV Test – Tests for the presence of feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (feline AIDS), both incurable and contagious diseases.
• Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
  Your dog or cat can suffer from the same seasonal allergies that affect humans. Allergic dermatitis is one of the most common conditions affecting pets. Pollen, mold, ragweed and dust mites may trigger pet allergies. Rather than experiencing watery eyes or congestion, however, pets suffer from itchy skin. Repeated biting and scratching creates irritated, moist skin that is susceptible to secondary bacterial infections. Prompt treatment for pet allergies is essential to relieving a pet’s painful itching symptoms and preventing secondary skin infections or more complex dermatological problems.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Hip Dysplasia Treatment
  Our doctors and veterinary technicians will help your pet to remain calm during the X-ray process using low-stress handling techniques for a clear and thorough diagnostic outcome. All of our radiographs (X-rays) are taken using digital radiology to produce better quality images when compared to traditional film radiographs. X-rays are extremely useful for diagnosing medical problems including tumors, foreign bodies, fractures, hip dysplasia, and any arthritic changes in joints & bones. X-rays will also pinpoint specific organs where a problem is occurring including Gastrointestinal problems, bladder stones, heart disease, and lung disease.
• Epilepsy Treatment
• Knee Problems Treatment
• Heart Disease Treatment
• Kidney Disease Treatment
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  Pets need regular, professional dental care from your veterinarian and daily home care from you to remain healthy. Your veterinarian is the best source to determine how frequently your pet’s teeth should be treated, and which products to use for home cleanings. Ignoring your pet’s dental needs can lead to periodontal disease, loss of teeth, and failure of organs including the heart, liver, and kidneys. The earliest sign of periodontal disease is inflammation (redness or swelling) of the gums. Other indicators include bad breath, yellow/brown substance on teeth, bleeding gums, tooth loss, drooling, and change of chewing or eating habits. Dental plaque bacteria are the primary cause of Periodontal disease. Plaque is the soft material that is on the surface of the teeth. It can be brushed off teeth, but when it hardens into tarter, it requires professional care to remove. This affects about 70% of cats and 80% of dogs by three years of age.
