Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Prairie State Animal Hospital is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care.
• Vaccination
  For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date. Even though we make every effort to make our patients feel comfortable during visits, they may be a little uneasy about new people, new surroundings and other pets. This is one of the reasons we ask you to restrain your pet. We recommend that animals be placed on a leash or in pet carriers before entering the waiting room.
• Behavioral Counseling
  Behavioral Counseling: We can provide advice regarding the correction of problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Dietary Counseling: We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, prairie state animal hospital stresses the importance of an annual physical examination.

Illness Treatment

• Parasites Treatment and Control
  Pharmacy: We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, shampoos, flea and tick control products and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also carry a full line of prescription diets.
• 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

Infection Treatment

• Ear Infection Treatment
  Laser therapy is a safe and non-invasive pain management modality and greatly improve your pet’s quality of life by reducing inflammation, reduction in pain and speed the healing process by stimulating cellular repair and increase blood circulation. Post-surgical laser therapy can be included with each and every surgical procedure to speed up healing of dental extraction sites and incisions in no time. It helps with muscle recovery, wounds healing, gingivitis, vertebral disc issues, osteoarthritis, acute injuries, ear infections, open wounds and anal gland infections for your pets. It is safe, painless and has no side effects.

• Spaying and Neutering
  Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also a pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery.

Lab and X-Rays

• Laboratory Services
  We offer three levels of in-house blood testing before surgery, which we will go over with you when you bring your pet in. Our doctors prefer the more comprehensive screen, because it gives them the most information to ensure the safety of your pet. For geriatric or ill pets, additional blood tests, electrocardiograms, or x-rays may be required before surgery as well.
