Preventive Care

• Dental Care
  Following American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines, American Veterinary Hospital only does cleanings and dental work on anesthetized pets. To ensure your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia, we do require a routine blood test before the procedure.
• Vaccination
  Testing and vaccination have decreased the incidence of FeLV infection and disease, but the outdoor feral cat population continues to be a source of this virus. If your cats spend time outdoors, they should be vaccinated. Having them spayed or neutered will also help protect them by decreasing their chances of being in a cat fight. Please call us at (661) 942-1489 to make an appointment to get your cat vaccinated against FeLV.
• Nutritional Counseling
  Personalized Care Plan: Based on the exam, the vet will formulate a preventative care plan tailor-made for your pet. This can range from setting up a routine for vaccinations and parasite control to advising on weight management and diet.
• Comprehensive Examination
  Thorough Examination: Routine wellness exams allow your pet’s veterinarian to inspect them comprehensively, from their head to their tail. This in-depth check helps us spot any changes in their physical health over time.

Illness Treatment

Infection Treatment

• Parvovirus Infection Treatment
• Feline Retro Virus Treatment
  The Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is spread from cat to cat through bodily secretions like saliva and blood. Cat fights are a cat’s greatest risk of catching this cancer-causing disease. The virus can also spread from mother to kitten, even in the womb. The FeLV blood test is an effective way to screen any new cat or kitten for this deadly disease before they are introduced to your resident cats.

Chronic Condition Treatment

• Heart Disease Treatment
  An ultrasound works by broadcasting high-frequency sound waves that reflect off your pet’s internal structures. A small probe held against the skin collects the returning signals to create an image of the internal body, most commonly used to examine abdominal organs like the stomach, kidneys, liver, spleen and gallbladder. An ultrasound of the heart, known as an echocardiogram, provides precise information about heart valves, blood flow, chamber size and contractions.
• Periodontal Disease Treatment
  It’s the same scenario for your dog or cat. While some people might laugh at the idea of brushing their pet’s teeth or taking them for a dental cleaning, the fact is that by age three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have some evidence of periodontal disease. Periodic dental exams help maintain proper oral hygiene and prevent future problems.
• Cancer Treatment

Emergency Care

• Wound and Fracture Care
  Our doctors have the equipment and experience to handle most surgical fracture repairs, which heal best when they are fixed without delay.
