Durham Animal Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Vaccination
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Taking care of your pet’s eyes means watching for infections, especially in dogs that like to ride with the window down or on the back of a pickup truck. Older animals can also develop cataracts. Diabetes can create glaucoma. If your pet is more hesitant than usual, unwilling to go into dark places or the eye is cloudy, a checkup is in order. Any time your pet’s eyes stay red and runny, bring him in.
Nutritional Counseling
At Durham Animal Hospital, we can check suspicious lumps or bumps on the skin and surgically remove them for biopsy if necessary. We can also look for and sometimes diagnose internal cancers or tumors with x-rays and bloodwork, and we have several high-quality referral hospitals in the area for owners who would like to pursue advanced treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation. Some symptoms of internal cancer that an owner might notice early are unusual and rapid weight loss and loss of appetite.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
For our younger pets (less than 6 years old), we offer a comprehensive wellness package that includes an exam, core vaccines for their species, a heartworm test, a fecal check, and some basic bloodwork to evaluate blood cell counts and organ function. It’s very helpful to check this bloodwork yearly even in younger pets, as it can identify some diseases before they start to cause problems for the pet, and also gives us baseline normal values for your pet that we can compare to in the future.
Vomiting Treatment
Repeated vomiting or diarrhea. If this happens often in a short period or irregularly over the course of several days, bring your pet in.
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Pet Dermatology covers anything wrong with your pet’s skin, hair, ears and feet, including nails. Here are some signs your pet may need dermatological services...

Infection Treatment

Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
Our mature wellness packages (recommended for pets 6 years and older) include everything in our junior packages, as well as a more extensive bloodwork panel that includes a thyroid check and a urinalysis. Thyroid disease is fairly common in middle aged and older pets, and the urinalysis helps us monitor kidney function and check for low grade urinary tract infections that can occur in older pets as well.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Think of endocrinology as your pet’s hormones and internal chemistry. Some common endocrinology problems we see are diabetes, hyper and hypothyroidism, Cushing’s Disease and Addison’s Disease. If your pet is showing hair loss, change in appetite or is more tired than usual, a visit to Durham Animal Hospital is in order.
Heart Disease Treatment
Symptoms of heart disease can include coughing, tiring easily, and rapid or difficult breathing, so please bring your pet in to see us if you notice any of these signs.
Cancer Treatment
Pets may not understand what cancer is, but unfortunately they can get it. Treatment options available are much the same as for people and can include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy depending on the type and severity of the cancer.

Wound and Fracture Care
Sometimes surgery is necessary to treat congenital or acquired bone and joint injuries. Orthopedic surgery for pets has made considerable advances over the years. Surgeries range from simple fracture repair to joint replacement. Surgery is also available for worn-out joints, ligament tears and arthritis. Your pet may need physical therapy after this kind of surgery. If so, we’ll tell you how to help your pet through the therapy.
Poisoning Treatment
A source of information and help for emergency assistance by phone for suspected cases of animal poisonings as well as helpful library links and information on substances toxic to animals. If you call about a possible pet poisoning, and poison control recommends that you see a vet, they will continue to consult with us (your veterinarian). We almost always consult poison control as part of our treatment plan for any possible poisoning. Generally, there is a $60-$75 fee for this service, but if you have a microchip through our hospital this service may be free of charge.

Dental Surgery
Some breeds of dogs need oral surgery to correct their bite so they can chew food properly. This is less common with other pets but sometimes does need to happen. We also offer dental procedures ranging from a simple cleaning to floating the teeth in horses. If you notice your pet appears to be eating less, is skittish when approaching the food bowl or makes a bigger mess than usual, this is an indicator that something is wrong with their mouth. Constant bad breath is another indicator of problems. Bring your pet in and let us give it an exam to see if they need dental care.
Veterinary Surgery
We understand your pets – call us today and let us answer any questions you may have about the pet surgery services Durham – Hillsborough procedures we perform.
Laser Surgery
Many procedures that used to require extensive use of scalpels can now be done with medical lasers. This is much safer for your pet. The laser cauterizes blood vessels, limiting blood loss. Lasers seal the end of the nerves, reducing the amount of post-surgery pain. Laser work is also less likely to be become infected because the laser sterilizes as it cuts. It is also “new” with each cut; with a scalpel, the blade is used to make more than one cut.
Spaying and Neutering
Male animals are driven to breed when they smell a female in heat. They can become more aggressive. They will attempt to get to the female, which means they are harder to control. Males will also fight each other for the chance to breed the female in heat. Fights mean more and expensive vet bills. Neutering your male pet also greatly reduces spraying, marking territory and sexual approaches toward people and objects.

Laboratory Services
We offer a wide range of services for your furry family member including wellness and preventive care, vaccinations, elective surgery, dental cleanings, radiography, in-house blood work, in-house pharmacy and a wide range of prescription diets just to name a few. We are equipped to treat emergency cases and also offer boarding accommodations for our clients based on availability.
X-Ray
Just like people, pets can suffer from cardiovascular problems, including heart disease and high blood pressure. Our doctors will listen to your pet’s heart and lungs at every visit and will discuss any findings with you. For example, if your pet has a heart murmur, we may recommend further diagnostics such as chest x-rays or a heart ultrasound, and/or start your pet on medications to prevent heart failure.
