Preventive Care

Dental Care
Once treatment is complete, we follow up with aftercare to assure comfort and address infection concerns during the healing period. Additional measures to promote dental health and increase the time between cleanings is a topic we address both at the time of initial examination, then again after treatment. The practicality and ability to comply with preventive care options are major concerns here, so options such as dental chews, oral rinses, and other passive measures are considered in addition to active measures such as daily brushing.

Vaccination
Vaccines help keep your pets safe from infectious viruses and other harmful diseases. It is important to keep your vaccinations current. Routine boosters will keep your pet protected throughout their life.
Nutritional Counseling
Dogs are considered overweight if they weigh 10-20% more than their ideal weight and obese if they are over 20% above it. Our veterinarians can determine your dogs ideal weight, set a weight loss goal and determine your dog's food intake. It is important that dogs do not lose weight too quickly, as this could mean they are missing out on essential nutrients, which could lead to other health problems. We recommend switching to a therapeutic weight loss diet that is designed to ensure that your dog still gets all of the nutrients that they need but with fewer calories with weigh-ins at the clinic every 2-3 weeks to monitor weight loss.
Comprehensive Examination
A comprehensive physical exam provides the doctor with invaluable information of your pet's health. Physical examinations are conducted prior to immunizing, before an anesthetic procedure, and in conjunction with any concerns about a specific problem.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Prevention: Our veterinarians recommend using a topical flea and tick prevention medication such as Frontline Plus, which we sell at our clinic. This product, and similar quality ones, kill fleas and ticks within hours, and are applied monthly.
Pain Management
While under anesthesia for any surgical procedure your pet will be hooked up to a pulse oximeter unit and monitored by a technician, at all times. Appropriate pain medication will be administered post-op and if needed, prescribed to go home. One of our technicians will go over care for your pet at home and how to properly medicate.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Venomous rattlesnakes are present in certain areas of Central Oregon, particularly along streams and rivers. They tend to be timid snakes but do pose a threat to inquisitive or aggressive dogs. Most strikes from the common Pacific Rattlesnake are dry, that is without venom injection. Venom, even in small quantities, can potentially cause acute allergic reactions, tissue damage, or infections. Rattlesnake vaccines are available but are of questionable advisability.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis is caused by a bacteria, and this disease that was once considered only a concern in rural areas has now moved into urban and suburban America. Climate change could be an underlying cause of this spread. Warm, moist environments are prime conditions for the bacteria. This organism can live in soil and water for months.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Dogs exposed to certain areas of Central Oregon can present with fever, lethargy, poor appetite, and fresh-red blood in vomit and diarrhea. In some cases, this is associated with scavenging deer or elk carcasses, but often the source is unknown. Treatment with injectable antibiotics and aggressive supportive care are necessary as life-saving measures. This disease looks very similar clinically to Parvovirus and Salmon Poisoning.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Bordetella bronchiseptica /parainfluenza virus complex. Dogs with the mild form of influenza may also have a thick nasal discharge, which is usually caused by a secondary bacterial infection.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Obesity Treatment
In 2017, an estimated 60% of cats and 56% of dogs in the United States were overweight or obese, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention.
Diabetes Treatment
Excessive weight gain has become the most common preventable disease seen in dogs throughout the United States. Obesity is a major concern in dogs because it can increase their risk of getting a variety of serious medical conditions: diabetes mellitus, joint damage and arthritis, kidney and pancreatic disease, cardiovascular issues, bladder and urinary tract disease, skin problems and cancer. Fortunately, losing weight can help these patients reduce that risk and even reverse some of the effects of these conditions.
Heart Disease Treatment
Heartworm disease develops when a dog is bitten by a mosquito carrying microscopic larvae of parasites called Dirofilaria immitis. As a mosquito feeds, these microscopic larvae infect and begin their migration into the dog's bloodstream, where they grow into adult worms. They make their home in the right side of the heart and vessels of the lung (pulmonary arteries), often causing lung disease and heart failure.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Our vets will guide you through the process of choosing the right diet for your pet. The prescription diets we carry will help nutritionally manage your pet’s health, whether they suffer from food allergies, kidney failure, urinary tract disease or just need to loose weight.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Periodontal disease is the most common ailment of small animals and is treatable. The cause of gum disease is the same in cats and dogs as it is in people. Gum disease is an infection resulting from build-up of soft dental plaque on the surfaces of the teeth around the gums. The bacteria in dental plaque irritate the gum tissue if plaque is allowed to accumulate, which often leads to infection in the bone surrounding the teeth. Hard dental tartar (calculus) consists of calcium salts from saliva deposited on plaque. Tartar starts to form within a few days on a tooth surface that is not kept clean, and provides a rough surface that enhances further plaque accumulation. Once it has begun to grow in thickness, tartar is difficult to remove without dental instruments.

Wound and Fracture Care
Some areas of Central Oregon have resident populations of raccoons and skunks which can cause problems for pets. Raccoons can be ill-tempered with dogs and inflict serious injuries including bite wounds and limb fractures. Skunks can inflict their trademark scent which makes your pet unwelcome in confined. Leaving food outside for cats or dogs is a major cause of attracting these animals and resulting conflicts. Feeding dogs and cats in a room accessible to the outdoors with a pet door has resulted in raccoons and skunks in the house.
Poisoning Treatment

Dental Surgery
Once we have determined what, if any, problems need to be addressed, we discuss our treatment options with you and arrive at a treatment plan. Our goal here is to use conservative guidelines regarding extraction, periodontal treatments, restorative treatments and oral surgery to correct problems in the most cost effective manner for long term benefit. We would like to preserve teeth whenever possible, but with practicality and expense of treatment as serious considerations in formulating a plan. When it is time to proceed to treatment we employ the best of techniques and procedures to fulfill the plan. With the exception of root-canals and orthodontics, we are capable of performing nearly all dental procedures necessary including major oral surgical procedures.
