Preventive Care

Dental Care
The first step in caring for your pet’s teeth and gums is to schedule a thorough oral examination with your veterinarian. Depending on the condition of the teeth and gums, your pet’s veterinarian may recommend a complete dental cleaning. It is very important for the doctor to perform this comprehensive oral exam before any cleaning to determine whether or not your pet needs to be on antibiotics before the procedure. The antibiotics are used to prevent any further infection that can be caused by the tartar that is removed.

Preventive Care

Dental Care
The first step in caring for your pet’s teeth and gums is to schedule a thorough oral examination with your veterinarian. Depending on the condition of the teeth and gums, your pet’s veterinarian may recommend a complete dental cleaning. It is very important for the doctor to perform this comprehensive oral exam before any cleaning to determine whether or not your pet needs to be on antibiotics before the procedure. The antibiotics are used to prevent any further infection that can be caused by the tartar that is removed.
Vaccination
Just as in humans, vaccinating your pets is their best defense against disease. Vaccinations are one of the most important preventive measures you can take for the health of your dog.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Some of the medical treatments we provide include IV catherization, injections, ear cleaning and flushing, wound cleaning, hospitalization, blood transfusions, eye care, etc… We use only the safest medications and state of the art equipment to enable us to provide the best care for your pet.
Nutritional Counseling
You may also notice weight gain or loss, bad breath, a change in eating habits and water consumption, shaking or shivering, disorientation, decreased activity, inappropriate urination, and decreased interest in you or their environment. However, even if your pet isn’t behaving differently, age brings changes in the functioning of his/her internal organs. Clinical signs often do not develop until late in the disease process. Just as in human medicine, many diseases can be uncovered early in their development by routine blood screening of pets that ‘appear’ normal.
Comprehensive Examination
We are a full service small animal hospital and boarding facility. Our boarding facilities are reserved for those clients that receive their annual vaccinations and wellness exams at our hospital. Your pet will need to be current on all vaccines for boarding. This controlled boarding allows us to insure the health of every pet staying with us.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Beware of TV advertisements for pharmacies selling medication and other supplies for your pets, especially Heartworm Prevention. These places you see advertise are not licensed Veterinarians. They are strictly pharmacies like the ones where you have your medications filled.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Panleukopenia (feline distemper), Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Chlamydia, and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus are some of the diseases that affect or feline friends.
Pain Management
Upon arriving at our hospital on the morning of surgery, you will be presented with an authorization for pain medication and for our canine friends, pre-anesthetic blood work will also be offered. We offer the pain medication to your pets to help keep them comfortable when they wake up from surgery and after they go home. Humans don’t have to go through surgery without anything for pain and neither should our pets because they can hurt too. For cats, the pain package includes an injection of a pain medication given during the surgery so that they are comfortable when they wake up from anesthesia and you will be given an oral medication to take home. For dogs, the pain package also includes an injection of a pain medication given during surgery and oral medication to take home. The pre-anesthetic blood work is offered to our canine companions to check their liver and kidney function to help insure that they can filter the anesthesia back out of their system. Our doctors will not do the surgery if abnormalities are shown on your pet’s blood work results. Both the pain medication and pre-anesthetic blood work are optional to you unless the doctors’ feel one or both should be mandatory. Those decisions will be based on your pet and their medical history. However, any special circumstances such as these that develop will be discussed with you.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Parvo is a highly contagious disease that can cause severe vomiting and bloody diarrhea, and can lead to dehydration, shock and death. We see this mainly in younger puppies but it can affect any unvaccinated dog. It is transmitted through an infected dog’s feces, but it can be rapidly transported on dogs’ hair and feet, people’s clothing and shoes, as well as water bowls and other objects.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Be careful of imitation products you may see at supermarkets. They are NOT the same product and they do not provide the same protection. We have seen several pets that have had severe allergic reactions to this over the counter medication, not to mention the continued flea problem.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Kennel Cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease which causes dogs to cough, sneeze and gag. Because this airborne disease is so readily spread from dog to dog, vaccination is recommended for dogs that are shown, boarded or exposed to other dogs on a regular basis.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Parvo, Distemper, Corona, Leptospirosis, and Kennel Cough are some of the diseases that affect our canine friends.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Parvovirus is a highly contagious disease that can cause severe vomiting and bloody diarrhea, and can lead to dehydration, shock and death. It affects puppies and older adults the hardest. While it is transmitted through an infected dog’s feces, this extremely hardy virus can be readily transported on dog’s hair and feet, people’s clothing and shoes, as well as water bowls and other objects. An infected dog sheds millions of these viruses daily. Therefore it is imperative that you thoroughly clean and disinfect any area in and around your home that the sick animal came in contact with BEFORE you bring any new puppy home. Because Parvo is such a hardy virus it can live in the environment for 1 to 2 years. We recommend using a bleach and water mixed to kill the parvo virus on surfaces and other objects. Make sure you clean all of the items the puppy may have had contact with (toys, bedding, bowls, etc...), with this bleach and water mixture. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that this process will work. The best thing would be to dispose of any toys, bedding, food and water bowls, etc... that the sick animal may have had and that you purchase new items for your new pet. You will also need to make sure that your new puppy is vaccinated against these deadly diseases. Your Veterinarian can give you a schedule of vaccinations your new puppy will need to help build his immune system against these diseases. Your puppy should receive his entire vaccination program while he is young and then a yearly revaccination program will be started. Vaccinating them once will not protect them. (See also “Why Vaccinate: Prevention of Canine Diseases”)
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Feline Leukemia Virus suppresses the cat’s immune system, leaving it unable to fight off other infections, such as pneumonia. FeLV can also cause cancer in a small proportion of cats. A few cats recover from a brief FeLV infection and rid themselves of the virus. But if permanent infection occurs, death always results. Since there is no cure for this disease and vaccinating a cat that already has the virus will not help, we always recommend testing the cat before giving the vaccine. The test only takes a few minutes to run and requires only a few drops of blood. This disease is also highly contagious to other cats.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by contact with the urine of infected animals and can lead to permanent kidney damage. It is of particular concern in areas of major flooding because it can be spread to other pets, as well as to humans.
Ear Infection Treatment
Most of the time if your pet is shaking his head a lot, scratching his ears, or rubbing them on the carpet, he may have an ear infection or even ear mites. Ear mites are almost microscopic white parasites that live in your pets’ ear canals. These mites are highly contagious and frequently infest whole litters of puppies and kittens but can affect dogs and cats of any age. They get these mites from other infected animals. An exterior or interior ear infection can also cause your pet to shake his head, scratch his ears and/or try to rub them on something. If your pet does have an inner ear infection, he may also tilt his head to one side or the other. You may also notice a foul odor, discharge, and the ear may appear to be very dirty. Ear mites, bacteria, fungi, accumulation of wax, thick or matted hair in the ear canal, debris, impaired drainage of the ear, and infections from elsewhere in the body can lead to these ear infections. These can be very painful conditions for your pet. If you notice any of these signs, you should make an appointment with your Veterinarian.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
As we get older, what are the first things our doctors recommend to help maintain our health? You’re right!! Regular comprehensive physical exams and lab work. As your pet gets older, the same applies to them. The average dog or cat enters the geriatric years between 6 and 10 years of age. Aging pets are prone to many of the same ailments older humans experience such as diabetes, renal disease, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, depression, hearing loss, decreased vision, and difficulty getting around.
Kidney Disease Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
Laser Surgery
If you have any additional questions concerning Laser Surgery and/or your pet or if you would like to request additional information, you may contact us at the Animal Care Hospital, 731-285-6270.
Spaying and Neutering
Spaying refers to the surgical altering of a female by removing her ovaries and uterus. Neutering refers to the surgical altering of a male animal by removing the testicles.

Laboratory Services
Early testing will help establish healthy baseline values. As these tests are run during regular geriatric exams, results can be compared to previous baseline values. While mild increases in certain values may be of no consequence, repeated elevations may indicate a trend and a potential problem. As you can see, regular exams and blood tests are just as important for your pet as they are for you. Since our pets cannot ‘tell’ us how they feel, we must use diagnostic tools to gather information.

General Pet Care

Boarding
“I have been using Petcetera and Animal Care Hospital for years and they have always been the most caring and sympathetic people in the world. Great place for boarding and grooming. Friendly atmosphere and lots of treats for your dogs and cats..”
Grooming
Animal Care Hospital is a modern small animal health facility dedicated to the well-being of pets as well as their owners. Our hospital has seen thousands of pets since opening in 1989. We emphasize client education, preventive medicine, periodic physical examinations, and vaccinations with the help of our veterinarian. We provide complete medical, dental, surgical, and nutritional services for dogs, cats, and other small pets. PETcetera, our pet supply store, provides professional grooming and boarding services for your pet.
Senior Pet Care
Animal Care Hospital has developed a geriatric program to help keep your senior pet healthy, happy, and feeling well. We understand how important your older pets are to you and we are determined to provide the highest quality Veterinarian care available. Although these tests are designed to diagnose abnormalities, we remain committed to the prevention of disease and not only to the treatment after problems occur.
