Services Doctor’s Consultation and Physical Examination Your pet can’t talk, so we have to look! We humans can moan and groan and point and complain at the earliest sign of a medical problem. Not so with animals. If we don’t look our pets over regularly, we may miss these subtle early signs of disease and rob ourselves of the chance of early intervention. All too often disease is well advanced before we even notice. Remember! Your pet’s life span is much shorter compared to your own. A lot can happen in 12 months. At Marbach Road Animal Hospital we recommend a complete physical examination by our veterinarians at least once a year for the young and fit, and twice a year for our less fit and/or older patients.
Vaccination and Health Programs for Puppies and Kittens Preventive health care is one of our strongest weapons in the fight against disease and we achieve this, in part, through routine vaccination, regular physical examinations, and early detection diagnostic testing. Vaccinations for Adult and Senior Dogs At Marbach Road Animal Hospital we only use the very best quality and safest vaccines available. For example, for cats we use only non-adjuvanted vaccines whenever possible to lessen the threat of vaccine associated cancers.
Dental Care and Routine Dental Cleanings Both animals and people need regular dental care. While humans tend to get cavities, small animals are more prone to tartar (calculus) and plaque build up, which leads to gum disease. Gum disease in animals causes pain, bad breath, eventual loss of teeth, and can even lead to bacterial infections in internal organs, such as the heart and kidneys. At Marbach Road Animal Hospital our yearly physical examinations include a thorough examination of your pet’s mouth and teeth. If we find halitosis (foul breath), gum disease, tartar or plaque when we examine your pet, we will advise you on diet, routine pet dental care and a regular professional teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar and freshen your pet’s breath. This is an important step in preventing lasting dental problems. Whether your pet is young or old, whether you have a dog or cat, your pet’s dental care is of vital importance and we are here to help. We are fully trained and equipped to provide all of the following dental services: · Oral Cancer Screening · Tooth Scaling · Tooth Polishing · Tooth Extractions (for teeth damaged beyond repair) · Periodontal Surgery (to repair serious gum damage) · Oral Surgery · Dental Pain Control
Spay and Neuter Procedures The aim of spaying and neutering is to prevent the production of unwanted puppies or kittens who often end up, unfortunately, on the unwanted and unloved list.
Spaying and neutering is also done to avoid certain behavioral issues such as fighting, straying, roaming, urine marking, or the unwanted attention of males when a female is in season, as well as to avoid the inconvenience of having a female bleed for 2 to 3 weeks while in heat every 5 to 7 months. Spaying your female pet will prevent serious medical issues including pyometra (infected uterus)—a surgical emergency—and significantly decreases the probability of developing breast cancer. Neutering your male pet will prevent testicular cancer and can help control prostate diseases that can be life threatening. Complications and side effects of the surgery, while are possible, are rare. Any changes in temperament are almost always for the better, if they occur at all. The cost is reasonable when compared with alternatives so if you are considering having it done at some stage, sooner may be more economical than later!
Advanced Surgical Procedures Sometimes surgery is the best, or maybe even the only, alternative to cure your pet. At Marbach Road Animal Hospital in addition to routine spays and neuters, we are equipped to perform many types of surgical procedures. For example, removal of intestinal foreign bodies (balls, corks, pins, socks, etc.), removal of tumors, removal of bladder stones, cesarean sections, surgical repair of many types of bone fractures, surgical correction of eye and facial abnormalities, etcetera.
For surgery requiring special equipment or special surgical skills, we can refer your pet to a veterinary surgical specialty practice here in San Antonio.
At Marbach Road Animal Hospital, our surgical services include: · A complete pre-surgical physical examination before anesthesia · Pre-op blood testing for increased patient safety · IV catheter and IV Fluids to speed recovery and increase patient safety · State-of-the-art anesthesia, using isofluorane gas · The surgical procedure itself using the most up-to-date techniques including the CO2 Laser and highest standards of care · Individual patient monitoring by trained veterinary nurses, during surgery and in recovery.
