Oceanside Animal Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Vaccination
We provide services for your pet such as vaccinations, nail trims, anal gland expression, exams and new puppy and kitten check-ups.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Would you like to receive an email or text to remind you to give your pet their medicine- for example their once a month flea & tick product, or their once a month Heartworm medication? Click on the link below!
Pain Management
Assessing a pet's quality of life is an ongoing process, not a one-time decision. Initially, we're likely to attempt to compensate for the problems we see. Pain medication may relieve a pet's discomfort and improve its mobility. A change in diet may improve a pet's appetite or provide better nutrition. We may resolve that we're willing to clean up after a pet and carry it wherever it needs to go, for as long as necessary. But eventually such measures will cease to be effective. The process of assessing "quality of life" is really a question of determining (and deciding) when that point has been reached -- and what you intend to do next.

Infection Treatment

Anal Gland Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Hip Dysplasia Treatment
If, however, your pet can barely move, that's another matter. Can your pet get to its feet without assistance? Can it sit or lie down without collapsing? Can it walk? Can it handle basic functions, such as squatting on a litterbox? Does it whimper or growl if you attempt to move it? I've seen dogs so crippled with hip dysplasia that they literally had to drag their immobilized hindquarters across the floor; this hardly represents the "quality of life" I want for my pets.
Heart Disease Treatment
When a pet is suffering from an illness that has no ultimate cure, our first (and lasting) impulse is to do whatever we can to alleviate the symptoms of that illness, so that the pet can continue to joy a happy, pain-free life. Today, thankfully, there are many treatments that can assist and even completely alleviate some of the most serious diseases and conditions that affect pets, including many forms of cancer and heart disease.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Start by asking your veterinarian what types of symptoms to expect as your pet's illness progresses. What stages will the disease take? How long before kidney disease produces incontinence or renal failure? How long before tumor cells invade the lungs or other organs? How long before symptoms become medically unmanageable, before pain becomes severe and untreatable? At what point will your pet become unable to function normally; at what point will its suffering become extreme?
Periodontal Disease Treatment
If your pet has bad breath, it is likely he or she is suffering from periodontal disease, which, while very common, can be extremely dangerous. Periodontal disease is a chronic and painful infection of the mouth affecting more than 85% of dogs and cats over four years of age, and if left untreated, it is progressive. Good dental hygiene in your pet can prevent this disease, as well as prevent a number of serious secondary problems such as heart, kidney and liver diseases that can develop from infected gums. We recommend periodic tooth care for the health of your pet, and provide cleaning, scaling, polishing and tooth removal when necessary. We also carry toothbrushes and seafood or poultry flavored toothpaste to keep your dog or cat's teeth clean between professional cleanings.

Veterinary Surgery

Laboratory Services
Having a sick pet can be a frightening experience, since they cannot communicate with us and tell us exactly what is wrong with them. Dr. Burmeister and his staff provide examinations, laboratory testing and other diagnostics to determine your pet's ailment and the best course of treatment for them. We have an in-house pharmacy and will provide explanations on all medications.
X-Ray
Breathing. A number of illnesses, including cancer, can affect the lungs. When a condition causes the lungs to fill with fluid or foreign matter (such as cancer cells), a pet quickly loses its ability to breathe easily or comfortably. You'll notice that your pet may seem to be panting, or that it is laboring to breathe; often, you'll see its stomach or flanks "pumping" as it can no longer breathe with just the chest muscles. It may also experience wheezing attacks. If such symptoms occur, ask for a chest x-ray to determine the condition of the lungs. If the problem is due to an allergy, infection, or asthma, medication may help. Medications are also available that can help if the problem is due to a heart condition and even in the early stages of various kinds of cancer. If treatment has been tried and/or is no longer effective, however, little can be done.
