Animal Medical Center of Watkins Park

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Animal Medical Center of Watkins Park has been providing excellent veterinary care for pets in the communities of Bowie, Mitchellville, Upper Marlboro and Davidsonville for over 27 years. We offer state of the art diagnostics, medical, surgical and dental care.
Vaccination
For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that all vaccinations be up to date according to the AVMA guidelines, unless a pet is not healthy enough to receive vaccines or for other reasons cannot be vaccinated.
Behavioral Counseling
Veterinary Partner This site is one of our favorite sites as it is designed for pet owners by the same company that veterinarians subscribe to for the most up to date information on medical problems. It contains articles with illustrations, X-rays, and up to date information to help you understand numerous animal health care topics as well as medical and behavioral problems encountered by companion animals. It is a great source for more information about topics your veterinarian discussed during your pets office visit.
Nutritional Counseling
We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance and performance. We carry high quality holistic diets and fresh frozen diets, as well as prescription diets.
Comprehensive Examination
Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past. We do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness are not a problem. We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. The handout on anesthesia explains this in greater detail.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Fleas and ticks keep right on biting until the first hard frost. Protect your pets against nasty bites, tapeworm, and tick-borne diseases with Frontline GOLD, the once-a-month topical treatment that kills fleas, ticks, and lice for 30 days. We carry Frontline GOLD for cats and dogs of all sizes. Purchase a three-month supply and get a fourth month free. When you buy a six-month supply, you'll receive 20% off your purchase as well as 2 free doses. These offers are not available through pet supply stores or online suppliers.
Pain Management
Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain as people do; they usually don't whine or cry, but you can be sure they feel it. Pain medications needed will depend on the surgery performed. Major procedures require more pain relief than things like minor lacerations.
Vomiting Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
During cold spells, bathing your pets too often can remove necessary oils from their skin and fur, and can increase the change of skin irritation. Bathe your pets as little as possible during cold snaps, and if your pup must be bathed, ask your vet to recommend a moisturizing shampoo or rinse.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis is an infectious disease that causes serious illness in dogs, other animals, and even people. Due to the rise of leptospirosis in the Mid-Atlantic area, we are now recommending that all exposed dogs be vaccinated for this disease.
Ear Infection Treatment
We are very excited and proud to announce that we now have a Companion Laser to provide therapeutic laser treatments to our patients! There are so many uses for laser therapy in veterinary medicine, including post-operative wound healing, "hot spots", ear infections, osteoarthritis, and more!! Here you see "Bonezy" sporting his very fashionable "Doggles"!!

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Acupuncture: Acupuncture has been shown to be beneficial in many circumstances. Animals with joint pain or arthritis, or other chronic diseases, can respond extremely well to acupuncture. Integrating conventional medicine (including the use of pain medication) with this Ancient Chinese modality can produce a reduction in pain and an overall improvement in health.
Heart Disease Treatment
Ultrasound is a key diagnostic tool that can be used to determine diseases in dogs and cats. This tool uses high frequency sound waves to create live images that show the structure and function of an organ. The heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas lymph nodes, intestines, and bladder are common organs that can be evaluated by ultrasound. Abnormalities we may be able to find by ultrasound in dogs and cats include heart disease, free fluid in the chest or abdomen, urinary and gallbladder stones, chronic kidney diseases, organ tumors, abscesses, cysts, retained testicles, and a myriad of other findings. A veterinarian will need to determine if your pet could benefit from an ultrasound. An ultrasound causes no harm to the pet, and most pets can remain awake during their ultrasound. Your pet may be given a mild sedative if they become stressed or if the veterinarian believes your pet may be painful during the ultrasound.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Lilies that may be found in holiday flower arrangements could be deadly to your cat. Many types of lily, such as Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Easter, Stargazer, and the Casa Blanca, can cause kidney failure in cats.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Cancer Treatment
Take care when exercising your pet. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours, and be especially careful with pets with white-colored ears, who are more susceptible to skin cancer, and short-nosed pets, who typically have difficulty breathing. Asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet's paws, so walk your dog on the grass if possible. Always carry water with you to keep your dog from dehydrating.

Wound and Fracture Care

Dental Surgery
Our dental services include ultrasonic cleaning and polishing of teeth, dental X-rays to evaluate the health of the tooth under the gum, and minor oral surgery.
Veterinary Surgery
Dr. Hogue's professional interests include soft tissue surgery, dermatology, and exotic small mammal medicine. She is a big advocate of using Fear Free techniques in the hospital to make pets' veterinary visits less stressful! In her free time, she loves serving at her church as well as reading, running, traveling, dancing, and visiting museums.
Spaying and Neutering
The only way to prevent this tragedy is to spay and neuter pets. We help you do your part by offering safe, affordable spaying (surgical removal of the female's uterus and ovaries) and neutering (surgical removal of the male's testes from the scrotum).

Laboratory Services
We offer three levels of in-house blood testing before surgery, which we will go over with you when you bring your pet in. Our doctors prefer the more comprehensive screen, because it gives them the most information to ensure the safety of your pet. For geriatric or ill pets, additional blood tests, electrocardiograms, or x-rays may be required before surgery as well.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
Radiology Services: Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the quick diagnosis of many disorders. Our intra-oral dental X-rays allow us to diagnose tooth abscesses, jaw fractures, fractured teeth, bad roots, and other jaw and dental problems.
