Behavioral Counseling
Nutritional Counseling
As a pet owner, however, figuring out the best plan for your pet is not always a simple task. Pet nutritional counseling services at East Poplarville Veterinary Clinic can take the guesswork out of what is best for your pet. You will receive information and direction from our expert doctor that will be designed specifically with your pet in mind based on species, breed, age, and health.
Comprehensive Examination
Our experienced veterinarian will conduct a thorough physical exam of your pet to determine the possible source of the condition, perhaps leading to further testing using radiography or other in-house diagnostics. Depending upon the diagnosis, treatment may involve medication, surgery, or physical therapy.
Not only will our bath treatment have your companion smelling good and racing around in cheerful circles, but your pet will receive health benefits from regular grooming as well. Tangled and matted hair is a constant irritating pull on the skin, creating a source for biting and scratching. Fleas and ticks can hide in matted hair, causing an even greater source of irritation. If your pet is bathed and brushed regularly, not only will you find fleas and ticks, but you may also find abnormal lumps or irritated areas indicating skin allergies or skin conditions. If scratching is a problem, our medicated shampoos contain soothing agents that stop the itching.
Pain Management
Rest assured that your pet’s vital signs will be monitored during all stages of surgery so that we can watch for early recognition and correction of any problems. We also realize that pain management is important to ensure a faster and better recovery, therefore pre and post-operative pain medication will be administered and tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Vomiting Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
All dogs and cats occasionally scratch, which is perfectly normal. However, when the scratching continues for several days, or the skin and coat begin to suffer, it may indicate they are experiencing an allergic reaction to something in their environment. Reactions are typically triggered by food allergies, fleas, and substances in their location such as dust, pollen, and grass. Other causes of itching may be caused by an infestation of tiny mites such as sarcoptic mange (scabies), or demodectic mange (demodex).
Laser therapy uses non-thermal photons of light to stimulate the body's natural ability to heal. During each treatment, laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area. This creates optimal healing that reduces inflammation, swelling, muscle spasms, stiffness and pain. As the injured area returns to normal, function is restored, and pain is relieved.

Heart Disease Treatment
Dogs and cats can develop heart disease just as people do, however it is less common in cats. Diseases of the heart fall into three main categories: diseases of the heart muscle, diseases of the heart’s nervous system, and diseases of the valves that separate the chambers.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Many pet owners may not be aware that periodontal disease is the most common dental condition affecting approximately 85% of dogs and cats. Dental disease begins with bacteria in the mouth. Without brushing or professional cleaning, the bacteria will harden and form plaque. Long-term neglect of the teeth can lead to tooth and gum decay, leading to pain and difficulty eating. Chronic infections of the teeth and gums and the constant swallowing of these bacteria can damage the liver, kidneys, and heart.
