Behavioral Counseling
Founded by Brian Kilcommons and Sharon Wilson, best-selling authors and recognized experts on animal training and behavior, this site is a terrific resource for advice on a variety of behavioral problems. If you want to learn more about feline housesoiling, barking dogs, aggression, or any other behavioral problem, check this one out!
Nutritional Counseling
As part of the follow up for that treatment I checked lab values to make sure the treatment had worked and had not uncovered any other issues. We stretched that testing interval out as it appeared everything was fine. Then about 6 months ago, a routine sampling revealed that her kidney function was starting to be less than optimal. She had lost some weight in this period as well. Simply switching her to a kidney friendly diet led to a stabilization of those values and some weight gain. A routine check in Feb 2019 showed that the values had started to creep up a bit not severely but a little troublesome. I rechecked 6 weeks later as I had some travel plans that were taking me out of town for several days during the upcoming 2 weeks. Thankfully the kidneys were stable and yet LO AND BEHOLD her glucose value was 800! (normal is 90 â€“ 110) This had been tested each time as part of the panel. I did not believe the lab was correct. I retested with our own hospital equipment and yes, our machine only measures to 650 and she was greater than that.
Comprehensive Examination
Make sure to schedule your annual visit with your veterinarian. Â This is especially important as we can pick up on physical abnormalities sooner. Note that even if your cat is indoors, she still needs an annual exam; you may be able to skip some of theÂ vaccines Â (and schedule them to every third year instead) but donâ€™t skip on the exam!

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
27 were positive for Ehrlichiosis, 10 were positive for Anaplasmosis, and one was diagnosed and treated for heartworm disease.
Pain Management
Anesthesia and Pain Management: Gain peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving the safest anesthetics available, especially for your older or high risk pet. Using the most modern equipment, your pet's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures. Pain management is part of all of our surgical procedures.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Most of you know that you should never give any human over-the-counter (OTC) medication without consulting a veterinarian, right? Thatâ€™s because common human drugs including NSAIDs (e.g. AdvilÂ®, AleveÂ® and Motrin) can cause serious harm to pets when ingested, and cause stomach and intestinal ulcers as well as potential kidney failure. Even veterinary NSAIDs â€“ while safer than human NSAIDs â€“ can result in similar problems when ingested in large amounts. Thatâ€™s why itâ€™s so important to keep chewable veterinary prescription NSAIDs out of reach â€“ even your cat finds them flavorable. Signs of poisoning include inappetance, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, black-tarry stool, lethargy, bad breath, and excessive thirst and urination. Rarer signs include seizures, coma, and even death.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Please check the box below if there are any peanut allergies in your household or if your pet has any food allergies
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Acupuncture is used to help relieve pain, enhance the immune system, and improve specific or overall organ function in animal patients. Patients with musculoskeletal disorders such as chronic osteoarthritis or back pain, patients with respiratory problems, patients with skin problems, and patients with digestive problems can all benefit from acupuncture. Of course, it is not a panacea. Just as each patient is an individual, response to acupuncture varies.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Diabetes Treatment
Insulin is the only proven treatment for diabetes mellitus in the feline. Dietary approaches can be made early on in the treatment and sometimes this is enough. Oreo needed insulin, and she needed it quickly. I went to Walgreenâ€™s to pick up the insulin, went home to retrieve her for admittance to Oakwood Hills, and left early the next morning for the first part of my out of town travels. Within a couple of days of starting the insulin my husband elected to bring her home to try this himself until I returned to help manage this.
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Thankfully, treatment for hyperthyroidism is very effective and includes either aÂ medication Â (called methimazole,Â surgical Â removal of the thyroid glands (less commonly done), a special prescriptionÂ diet Â called y/dÂ® Feline Thyroid Health),Â or I131 radioiodine therapy. With hyperthyroidism, the sooner you treat it, the less potential side effects or organ damage will occur in your cat.
Heart Disease Treatment
Heart disease Â is very frustrating for both cat owners and veterinarians. Thatâ€™s because, while dogs almost always have a loud heart murmur (i.e., one we can hear with our stethoscope) indicative of heart disease, cats often donâ€™t have a heart murmur present. In fact, itâ€™s estimated that 50% of cats with heart disease have no auscultable heart murmur. Clinical signs of heart disease include...
Kidney Disease Treatment
One of the top silent killers of cats isÂ chronic kidney disease (CKD ) Â (This is sometimes called chronic renal failure or chronic kidney injury). These terms are all semantically the same, and basically mean that 75% of both the kidneys are ineffective and not working. Clinical signs of CRD include...
Cancer Treatment
11 dogs were found to have Transmissable Venereal Tumor, a highly contagious and terminal cancer. All 11 were sterilized to prevent spreading the disease and treated with a highly effective chemotherapy.

Seizure Treatment
Poisoning Treatment

Dental Surgery
Dentistry: Maintaining excellent dental health is a priority at our hospital because we know this enhances quality of life. We offer dental cleaning and polishing, use of a dental-specific digital radiology unit, extractions when necessary and other oral surgery.
Veterinary Surgery
In 1997, the boarding facility was improved and additional space was added on the west side of the building. Improvements in 2002 included another addition, this time on the east side. At that time extensive interior remodeling doubled the space of the animal hospital and has allowed us to better accommodate the needs of our patients and clients. Our veterinarians offer a full range of medical and surgical services. A full support staff is available to help provide the best possible care for our patients and clients.
Declawing
Spaying and Neutering
While I found this to be rewarding, I became friends of 2 ex-pats who live simply and are passionate about animals. They taught me about and showed me the rest of the island. There are no paved roads on the eastern 1/2 of the 30 mile long island. Unemployment is rampant. Education is through the 5th grade, but only if parents can afford to send their children. Schools have a dress code of white shirts and blue pants/skirts. Many kids don't go to school simply because their parents cannot afford the clothing. There is no law enforcement or other public services to the unpaved area and certainly no veterinary care. By necessity people keep dogs for security/ protection. Because dogs live outdoors and there is no option for, nor ability to pay for sterilization, dogs breed indiscriminately. Overpopulation results in death due to disease, poisoning, starvation and trauma. I saw 2 dogs that were hacked with machetes while there. Of those that survive the life expectancy is probably 3-5 years based on what I saw. Unfortunately, abuse is common. On the other hand I was struck by the bond and pride that many had with their "pets".

Laboratory Services
Thankfully, with appropriate management, cats can live with CKD for years (unlike dogs where CKD usually progresses more rapidly). Chronic management may include a low-protein diet, frequent blood work, increasing water intake (e.g., with a water fountain or by feeding a grueled canned food), medications and even fluids under the skin (which many pet guardians do at home, once properly trained).
