Preventive Care

Dental Care
Can you imagine what your mouth would feel like if you stopped brushing your teeth? Good oral health is very important to your health and
Vaccination
The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice. It is inserted under the skin, between the shoulder blades, with a simple injection. It only takes a couple of seconds and anesthesia is not required. The amount of discomfort experienced is similar to that of a vaccination.
Nutritional Counseling
The best way to prevent obesity in dogs and cats is to be vigilent and help your pet maintain a healthy weight to prevent weight gain. Once a pet has reached overweight or obese status, the best way to prevent obesity is to talk to one of our veterinarians. Your pet’s weight loss depends on a lot of factors, such as: your pet’s age and normal activity level; whether your pet is a dog or a cat, and what you are currently feeding your pet (diet AND daily treats). The veterinarians at Spring Branch Veterinary Hospital work closely with pet owners to create a custom weight loss plan based on all of these factors. Sometimes it is as simple as cutting each meal back by 20%, or switching to a different food.
Comprehensive Examination
Regularly scheduled wellness exams and vaccines keep you and your pet healthy. But what vaccines does your beloved pet need? Here is an overview of

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Symptoms of heartworm disease in dogs include coughing, lethargy, exercise intolerance, lack of appetite, and sudden death. Unfortunately sometimes by the time symptoms occur it can be too late to treat heartworm disease. Cats with heartworm disease can have trouble breathing or sudden death. It is best not to wait until symptoms develop since irreversible damage may have already occurred by then.
Pain Management
A thorough physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork are always completed prior to anesthesia. Bloodwork helps ensure that pets do not have any underlying health problems that could increase the risk of complications during surgery. At SBVH, we follow the safest anesthesia protocols at all times to keep pets healthy. We tailor each pet’s anesthesia with safety and pain control in mind. Pets receive a multimodal approach to pain control including pre-operative pain control, local pain control surgical block, and post-operative pain control.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Fleas infest dogs and cats by jumping onto them from the environment. Adult fleas are 1/8 – 1/6 of an inch in size, however they can jump over 12 inches! Fleas cause a wide variety of problems to pets, ranging from skin irritation to life threatening blood-borne diseases! The most common symptoms of fleas on pets are itchy, irritated skin, red inflamed skin, and hair loss. Dogs will sometimes lose hair around their tail base and hind end.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
All pets have IV catheters placed for surgery and receive IV fluids during anesthesia. The safest IV induction agents and inhalant anesthesia is used. The endotracheal tube creates a stable passageway for oxygen and inhalant anesthetic to be transmitted to the respiratory system. The inhalant anesthetic maintains anesthesia at an adjustable rate so our Surgery Technician can maintain an ideal anesthetic plane. Continual monitoring of heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, EKG, CO2 levels, and temperature allow us to stay updated on pet’s vital signs. Pets are monitored by a highly trained veterinary technician and a veterinarian. Pet’s body temperatures are maintained by IV fluids warmed to body temperature as well as warming wraps. We maintain a proactive and multimodal approach to anesthesia with your pet’s safety in mind. Our approach ensures a very smooth recovery and excellent pain control.
Injury Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis is a deadly disease that poses a serious risk to dogs in this area of Texas. People can also catch Leptospirosis. What is Leptospirosis?
Ear Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Until recently, veterinarians thought that the increased pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in overweight and obese pets was primarily due to the increased wear and tear on the joints. What we now know is that fat tissue is very biologically active and secretes hormones and other chemicals that both cause and enhance inflammation in your pet.
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
We believe that we should do everything in our power to help keep geriatric pets comfortable as they age. Older pets often suffer from arthritis and other causes of joint pain. We have many options for pain control and joint care. Never give your pet your own medications or over the counter medications without consulting with us first. Many human pain medications are very dangerous for pets.
Obesity Treatment
Chances are you may be surprised to learn that your pet is over his or her desired weight. America’s furry best friends–both dogs and cats–have a big problem: pet obesity rates are at an all-time high.
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
By Robert B. Duncan Spring Branch Veterinary Hospital What does hypothyroidism mean? Hypothyroidism means an underactive thyroid gland or decreased amount of thyroid hormone (T4)
Heart Disease Treatment
Heartworm disease is caused by the parasite Dirofilaria immitis, a type of worm that lives inside the pulmonary arteries (blood vessels in the lungs) and heart. Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes. When a mosquito infected with the heartworm larvae bites a dog or cat the larvae enter under their skin. The heartworm larvae migrate into the animal’s bloodstream and become adult heartworms after 6 months. It is a serious disease that primarily affects the heart and lungs but can also affect other organs. If left untreated heartworm disease causes heart failure and death.

Wound and Fracture Care
Poisoning Treatment
Pet Poisoning Unfortunately many pets experience poisoning or toxicity every year. Most cases are accidental because dogs will put almost anything in their mouth. Many

Dental Surgery
We perform routine soft tissue surgery including spays (females), neuters (males), growth or tumor removals, urinary bladder surgery, and other surgeries. We also offer Cryosurgery as a noninvasive treatment for small skin growths. Oral surgeries are also commonly done to prevent and treat dental disease.
Veterinary Surgery
Located just minutes north of San Antonio in Spring Branch/Bulverde, we are a small animal hospital committed to providing the highest quality medicine and surgical services to companion pets.
Spaying and Neutering
We also strongly believe in the importance of spaying and neutering dogs and cats to reduce homeless pet numbers. Millions of animals are euthanized every year in United States animal shelters due to overpopulation. We encourage you to adopt a pet from your local animal shelter or consider becoming a foster.

Laboratory Services
Heartworm disease is most commonly diagnosed using blood tests that detect the presence of heartworm antigens. Testing for heartworm disease in cats is less reliable than in dogs. Depending on the test results and the animal’s symptoms additional laboratory tests, radiographs and a cardiac ultrasound may also be recommended to determine infection and severity.
Dental Radiology
Microchipping

General Pet Care

Grooming
Senior Pet Care
Ask your veterinarian to help you choose the most appropriate food for your pet. Kittens and puppies, adult pets and senior pets all have different specific nutritional needs rather than an “all purpose” pet food. Your veterinarian will suggest the best food to be feeding your pet at each stage of their life.
