Preventive Care

Dental Care
Our approach to pet dental care starts with regular dental cleanings and exams when your pets are young. We recommend regular dental checkups and cleanings at least every 1 to 2 years in most cases. Some pets, however, require more frequent cleanings.
Vaccination
We understand that your work schedule can make it difficult to plan an appointment for your pet Monday through Friday. For this reason, we not only offer our clients Saturday appointments, but also the option to drop off your pet in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon on weekdays. Whether your pet is due for vaccinations or having a medical issue that needs to be addressed, just give Marcello Veterinary Hospital a call and we can schedule a drop-off time as early as 8 a.m. Pick-up time is before 5:30 p.m. We’re here to make your pet care a little easier.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Rabies - (public health concern & legally required) A virus that attacks the nervous system. Always fatal and a zoonotic disease. Panleukopenia (PRC) - Is the most widespread of cat diseases and extremely contagious. Characterized by fever, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and causes death. Viral Rhinotracheitis (PRC) - (FRV) - Highly contagious respiratory disease characterized by sneezing, loss of appetite, fever, and eye inflammation. Discharge is noticeable from both eyes and nose. Calicivirus (PRC) - A serious respiratory infection occurring simultaneously with viral Rhinotracheitis. Signs are similar to FRV but also can produce ulcers on the tongue. Pneumonitis (FELU) - Is caused by an organism Chlamydia Psittaci, signs are similar to FVR and FCV. Leukemia (FELU) - Is a viral disease, which can take several forms. Can be transmitted from mother while in the uterus. Blood disease.

Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
During their first visit, your pet will receive a thorough physical examination, age appropriate vaccinations, and an intestinal parasite screen. Puppies will also receive heartworm and flea prevention. Testing your new kitten for Feline Leukemia (Felu), Feline immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), and heartworms at their first visit is very important. These infectious diseases can weaken the immune system, cause long term issues and spread to other feline friends in the household. A secondary test is performed to ensure accurate detection in six months to a year.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
We recommend starting puppies and kittens on heartworm prevention no later than eight weeks of age. Dogs six months and older are required to be tested for heartworms before starting them on any regular heartworm prevention. We check for the presence of heartworm infection by collecting a small blood sample from your pet and using a SNAP test.
Pain Management
We perform a full cleaning both above and below the gum-line where periodontal disease lurks. It would be impossible to clean below the gum line on a dog or cat who is awake. However, this is where periodontal disease begins–with bacteria “living” below the gum tissues. A cleaning involves scaling or scraping the tooth to remove plaque and calculus. Lastly, the teeth are polished, leaving a completely smooth surface of the tooth which discourages plaque and bacteria from adhering to the rough tooth surface. Your pet may be discharged with antibiotics or pain medication following a dental procedure.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Vaccinations help prevent illnesses that affect your pet’s immune system and organ function. Performing yearly vaccinations are considered the best way to protect your pet by reducing the severity of these illnesses. For dogs, a Rabies vaccination, Distemper combination vaccination and Bordetella Bronchiseptica vaccination is given yearly to protect your pet against serious infections, such as leptospirosis, adenovirus, distemper virus, parvovirus and kennel cough. We also offer a Lymes vaccination for dogs exposed to environments inhabited by ticks.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Cats should be put on a preventive treatment and tested as recommended by our veterinarians. Cats are not a natural host for heartworms however, just a few can make a cat very ill. Prevention in cats is critical because there is no approved drug treatment for heartworm infection in cats. When your cat receives a Feline Leukemia Virus/Feline Immunodeficiency Virus/Heartworm antigen combination test, he or she will be tested for heartworms. If your cat tests positive for heartworms, he or she can be helped with good veterinary care and a long-term management plan.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Bordetella (BORD) - A respiratory bacterial infection known as “kennel cough.” Spread through the air in confined areas such as kennels.
Ear Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Digital radiology is particularly useful for several patient conditions including cases of coughing, foreign body ingestion, limb lameness, heart disease, constipation, and more. After diagnosis, our team can formulate a treatment plan to help your pet get back to feeling their best.
Kidney Disease Treatment
ACTH Stimulation Test- Test for Cushing’s disease. Cushing’s disease is a serious health condition that is caused by increased production of the stress hormone cortisol by the adrenal glands. Excess cortisol can be life threatening and also cause conditions such as diabetes and kidney damage.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Dental care is one of the most neglected aspects of pet health care. As with people, oral disease in pets begins with bacteria in the mouth that harden and form plaque that adhere to teeth. If not removed through regular care and cleaning, these bacteria will accumulate, harden into tartar, and can lead to the development of periodontal disease. Once periodontal disease is established, the constant exposure to these bacteria can potentially cause damage to major organs of the body such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

We also conduct cesarean sections, bladder stone removals, laceration repairs, aural hematomas, exploratory laparotomy, enterotomies/enterotomies, gastrotomy, hernia repairs, surgical biopsies, cherry eye repairs, enucleations, and more.

Veterinary Surgery
Marcello Veterinary Hospital’s mission is to work as a team to provide the highest-quality medical and surgical care to our patients in a compassionate environment, while educating our clients so they can make the best veterinary health care decisions for their beloved pets.
Declawing
Spaying and Neutering
Marcello Veterinary Hospital recommends spaying at 6 months of age before they ever have their first heat cycle. Spaying your pet before they come into heat for the first time reduces the risks of mammary cancer by 85%. Neutering is recommended at 6-8 months of age.

Laboratory Services
Marcello Veterinary Hospital offers the latest imaging technology available in veterinary medicine including digital radiology and ultrasound. Having these tools as well as an in-house laboratory means that we have a wide range of diagnostic services housed in one location. These diagnostic capabilities enable us to provide advanced patient care for companion pets in Houma, Thibodaux, Morgan City, Raceland, and Mathews.
X-Ray
Our practice offers dental care, in-clinic diagnostics, digital radiography, ultrasound, surgery, intensive care, preventative medicine, wellness, boarding and grooming, and more. We strive to maintain a warm, welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere at both of our locations. We sincerely hope that our patients and our pet parents will have an outstanding experience every time they visit.
Microchipping
According to the American Humane Association, every year millions of dogs and cats are brought to animal shelters. Of the animals brought in with no ID tags or microchips, only 15 percent of the dogs and 2 percent of the cats are successfully reunited with their owners. Marcello Veterinary Hospital offers the HomeAgain microchip, a widely used product that increases the chances of a safe recovery of your lost pet.
