Preventive Care

Dental Care
A major part of your pet's health is oral and dental hygiene. If your pet is 3 years or older, he already has tartar and plaque build-up on his teeth and probably needs a dental cleaning. Most older pets will have advanced tartar build-up and some degree of gum disease. The problem begins when plaque and tartar are allowed to build up on your pet's teeth. Plaque harbors the bacteria, which can infect gum tissue and the root system. This often results in healthy teeth having to be extracted because the root structure has been compromised. A more serious consequence of dental disease occurs when the infection spreads via the bloodstream to other vital organs such as the lungs, heart, and brain.

Vaccination
As part of your pet's annual vaccination program, we will give your pet a thorough physical examination. This procedure allows us to determine the overall physical health of your pet. It also allows us to examine your pet closely for problems that may be considered breed specific. This simply means that certain breeds of dogs and cats are pre-disposed to certain problems.

Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
For example, if you own a cocker spaniel, you have no doubt at some time dealt with an ear problem. Our physical examination will help alert you to potential problems which may occur. The physical exam, however, does not allow us to determine the overall health of the internal organs. Only a blood screen will do that. This short procedure will detect any liver and kidney problems as well as check for anemia, diabetes, and infections. We recommend this screening for all pets two to seven years of age. If your pet is seven years or older, ask about our senior care program. As in all health evaluations, early detection is the key as it allows for more and better treatment options. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Generally, we recommend that cats seven years and older have blood drawn and checked annually. Diagnostic tests include blood chemistries, a complete blood count, urinalysis, and thyroid test. It is in this way we can detect the problem before it becomes a major medical problem. As in all health evaluations, early detection is the key as it allows for more and better treatment options.
Heart Disease Treatment
As dogs and cats age, they, like people, have a greater risk for developing certain diseases and conditions. For example, we know that the incidence of problems, such as heart disease, kidney disease, malignant and benign tumors, arthritis, loss of vision, and oral/dental disease increases with advancing age. However, when such conditions are diagnosed in their early stages, treatment to cure such disorders or delay their progress can be given in most cases.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Older cats can develop a myriad of medical problems, but there are three common problems that we see in geriatric patients: diabetes, kidney disease, and hyperthyroidism. All three diseases affect the other systems over time and are, if left untreated at an early stage, fatal. If these chronic disease processes are detected soon after they start, they may be very treatable and controllable.

Veterinary Surgery
We offer pet care, including annual physicals, vaccinations, dentistry, and spays and neuters. When your pet is sick we offer laboratory services in-house as well as from outside labs when more specialized testing is needed. We have excellent radiology services with a brand new, state of the art digital X-ray machine. And should your pet require surgery, we offer a sterile surgical suite for general surgery.
Spaying and Neutering
We are observing that a growing number of our patients are canine and feline "senior citizens." Part of the reason that pets are able to live longer now than a few years ago, is the tremendous advances that have occurred in veterinary medicine. A greater knowledge of diseases, diagnostic procedures, and treatments are available to us today. Perhaps the greatest reason why animals live longer, better lives, is the increased knowledge that the pet owners have about the importance of preventive health care measures---immunization, parasite control, spaying and neutering, and early disease detection, to name a few.

Laboratory Services
For that reason, we recommend that all of our dog and cat patients that are 7 years of age or older, have an annual geriatric evaluation. This evaluation includes a thorough and complete physical examination, a complete blood count, blood chemistry profile, urinalysis, and radiographs. When the evaluation is complete and all the test results have been received, we will discuss the findings with you, and advise you of any needed treatment or change in diet.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Ivy Hill Animal Hospital is a full service hospital for companion animals. We offer internal medicine, surgery and preventative care, as well as boarding and grooming. We appreciate the trust that you place in us by bringing your pet to us, and we treat each one as the family member that they are.
Grooming
We also offer boarding and grooming facilities. We have a fenced in yard area where we walk your pet so they get outdoor exercise while they are with us, and we have recently added a larger fenced in nature area which allows us to offer nature walks and play time for your pet.
