Dental Care - Starting kittens early with dental care is a big key to success. It is important to get them used to having their teeth brushed and their mouth looked at. We have included information regarding dental care and the VOHC list of accepted products for cats.
Vaccination
Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and other small mammals have become popular pets as increasing numbers of pet owners come to understand the unique bond that can form with one of these special creatures. But did you know that small mammals need some of the same routine wellness care that dogs and cats need? Do you know if your pet should be spayed or neutered? Do you know if any vaccinations are recommended to help maintain good health? Do you have questions about proper nutrition, cage cleaning, grooming, or any other aspects of care and husbandry? Our staff of skilled professionals is well trained in the care and husbandry of small mammals and can give you the information you need to keep your “pocket pet” looking and feeling great.
Nutritional Counseling
Whether your pet has special dietary needs or simply needs to shed (or gain) a few pounds, our nutritional counseling services can help you accomplish your goals and keep your pet in good health. We offer counseling in dietary selection and feeding practices for pets during various life stages, such as growth, pregnancy, nursing, and the "golden years." If your pet has a medical condition, we can help you select the most appropriate diet to suit your pet’s needs.
Comprehensive Examination
While anesthesia is always a risk, all precautions are taken to make it as safe as possible for each pet. An anesthetic plan is made for each individual patient with regard to a current physical exam, breed, age, and laboratory work. Pre-medications, as well as induction and maintenance agents, are chosen and administered according to the procedure and to help decrease the amount of general anesthetic needed.
There was a time when parasites like fleas, ticks, and roundworms were considered mostly a nuisance. Now, however, we know that parasites can cause serious illness and even death in pets. For example, ticks can transmit infections like Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and fleas can transmit tapeworms and Bartonella – the bacteria that causes “cat-scratch fever” in humans. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworms live in your pet’s lungs and heart, causing damage to these organs, and sometimes even death. Intestinal parasites, like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and giardia, also threaten pets and are even transmissible to humans.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
We require all cats to be up-to-date on Rabies and FVR-CP (feline distemper) vaccines. This can also be done here with us during their stay. We provide litter and litter boxes.
Pain Management
The practice of high-quality veterinary medicine focuses on the entire patient – from medical issues that affect physical functioning, to emotional and psychological issues that affect well-being. Experiencing pain can affect the body’s physical functioning and can have a detrimental effect on a patient’s well-being and state of mind. That’s why pain management is among our primary considerations when we are treating a pet for any medical condition.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
We are dedicated to providing the top Care while your pet is with us. We use top-of-the-line soap free, shampoos, and conditioners. Low stress environment. One on one grooming. offering several packages from nails, skin care, allergies to sedation grooming.
DA2PPL5 helps protect against Distemper, Adenovirus 2, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and Leptospirosis. The vaccine is given every 3-4 weeks until 14-16 weeks of age. This helps boost your puppy's immunity to those diseases.
The Process: A catheter is placed in the vein to give the doctors and technicians access for fast drug administration as well as fluid support during the entire procedure. A heated water blanket is used to help control body temperature. Anesthetic monitoring is done by a dedicated technician, under veterinarian supervision, and includes recording ECG, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, heart, and respiratory rates while under anesthesia. In addition, all pets are closely monitored while waking up, until alert and their body temperature is normal.
Kidney Disease Treatment
From the very first day, you bring a new pet home through the final days of its life, nutrition plays a critical role in your pet’s overall health and well-being. Many pet owners take nutrition for granted, in part because the availability of so many nutritionally complete commercial diets has taken much of the guesswork out of choosing a suitable diet for a pet. However, did you know that your pet’s nutritional needs change with age and activity level? Did you know that specially formulated diets can assist in the management of various medical conditions, including kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease? Do you know how many calories your pet should have each day and whether you are over- or underfeeding? Are you comfortable reading and interpreting pet food labels?
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Cancer Treatment
Blood transfusions have many uses and can be critical lifesaving procedures. Blood loss that occurs suddenly due to trauma may require an emergency transfusion to save a patient’s life. However, not all blood transfusion situations are related to the injury. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, surgical patients, pets with advanced kidney or liver disease, cats with feline leukemia, and pets with bleeding or clotting disorders are some examples of other patients that may require transfusion with blood or blood products.
In our continuing efforts to offer the highest quality veterinary medicine, we are pleased to provide a wide range of surgical services for our patients. From routine surgical procedures, such as spaying and neutering, to more complex surgeries, we look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet's needs.
Declawing
Spaying and Neutering
Within the packets, you will find information regarding the vaccines your puppy will need and how often these are performed, microchip information, the benefits of spaying or neutering your puppy, and much more! We do know it's a lot of information but we do highly encourage that you take a look throughout your new puppy packet for any additional information that you might need.
Regular wellness visits are important for every stage of your pet’s life, so don’t forget to keep your senior pet’s scheduled wellness appointments. The best way to help protect your pet as he or she ages is to understand the aging process in pets. We understand that process and can help you help your pet. Even if your senior pet is already being treated for a medical condition, treatment recommendations can change as a condition progresses. Sometimes medication dosages need to be adjusted, or medication may need to be changed. Routine wellness blood work and other routine diagnostic testing are important for senior pets because these tests allow us to evaluate how your pet’s health is either responding to current management strategies or changing with age.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
At Galloway Village Veterinary, we recognize that dental disease can lead to problems in the rest of the body. Reducing tartar and plaque reduces a reservoir of bacteria that is otherwise circulated to vital organs in the body, including the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Microchipping
Young puppies and kittens can receive microchips, but even if your pet is already an adult, you should consider microchipping. Even indoor pets can get outside accidentally and get lost, so if you’re relying on other forms of identification, you could be placing your pet at risk. Microchipping is a safe, effective way to help ensure your pet’s return if the unthinkable happens.
