Preventive Care

Dental Care
Dental care for horses differs significantly from that of humans or even cats and dogs. Due to their vegetarian diet and manner of eating, a horse’s teeth work more like a gristmill, constantly grinding and mashing down their food. The horse’s teeth are therefore designed to keep growing as an adaptation to the manner in which they eat.
Vaccination
We predominantly cater to the needs of dogs, cats and mobile equine right from basic care to vaccination, nutrition and more. Furthermore, we offer discounts to people falling under special categories. Contact us for more details on the same.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
First and foremost, Valium must not be administered if you have an allergy to diazepam or other medications that come under the same class. Conditions like Myasthenia gravis, liver disease, glaucoma, sleep apnea are contraindicated with Valium, and hence, consult a doctor before you start using this drug.
Behavioral Counseling
Retrievers and other hunting breeds do well in tracking and field trials. Huskies and Malamutes can participate in mushing where they pull dog sleds. Any kind of dog, whether purebred or mixed, can participate in obedience training. There are many levels of accomplishment and you and your dog can choose how far you wish to take their training.
Nutritional Counseling
Phentermine is a prescription-only weight-loss pill, which comes under the overall weight-loss plan. Many people have a peculiar and strange idea that Phentermine helps with the shedding of a few kilos upon taking the medication. However, the pill is mostly recommended for people who haven’t reached their desired target with diet and exercise. Hence, the administration of the medication requires vigilant supervision. This cautionary fact is highlighted as the pill is a classified drug that exhibits potential for abuse. Hence, it is always advised to take Phentermine in moderation for safety reasons.
Comprehensive Examination
Regular wellness exams are one of the most important aspects of managing your pet’s health care. Full nose-to-tail exams once a year at Callaghan Road Animal Hospital allow us to evaluate your pet’s health and detect changes or physical concerns early before they become serious. The earlier we diagnose medical conditions, the easier it may be to treat them.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Heartworm – Your dog will begin monthly heartworm prevention medication as a puppy and will need this medication for the duration of his or her life. After 6 months of age, we perform a heartworm test annually.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Canine distemper is caused by a virus that is shed in bodily fluids of infected animals. The virus affects primarily the lungs, intestines, and nervous system.
Pain Management
Tramadol also commonly known as Ultracet in longer acting formations is a pain medication commonly used to treat moderate to moderately severe acute and chronic pain. It is classified under schedule IV. Tramadol can be administered orally or via injecting into vein. Tramadol works by binding to and blocking the transponders to the brain. It is a racemic mixture compound, with positive enantiomer inhabiting serotonin reuptake whereas the negative enantiomer inhabiting noradrenaline re-uptake.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Horses are vulnerable to several ailments caused by parasites or infections. Fungi, bacteria, allergic reactions or other conditions can cause skin lesions and/or hair loss. Allergic reactions may come from external stimuli, such as the choice of bedding or airborne pollutants, or from food sensitivity.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Respiratory Problems – Many horses develop allergy and asthma-like symptoms called “heaves” when they are exposed to molds and dust from old hay and straw. Coughing and phlegm are symptoms, and shortness of breath in horses is a medical emergency.
Injury Treatment
Lameness – The number one complaint for horses, lameness can be caused by a long list of problems. Know your horse’s healthy gait and be able to recognize any changes in it quickly. Even head bobbing can be a sign of lameness as your horse tries to compensate for pain in other areas of its body. The most common causes of lameness in horses are sprains, strains and fractures, degenerative diseases such as arthritis, and hoof problems such as abscesses and laminitis. To prevent sprains and strains, keep horses well-conditioned for the jobs they do and do not overwork them. Also, check your horse’s hooves carefully at the end of each day for any shoe problems, stones, cracks or abnormalities. Contact your veterinarian immediately for assistance at the first signs of lameness.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
DHLPP – Distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus—Your puppy receives the first vaccination at the initial exam, approximately 6 to 7 weeks of age. The vaccine is then repeated every 3 weeks until 15 to 16 weeks old. After the initial schedule is completed, your dog may require yearly booster shots.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Vaccines for cats are divided into two categories: core vaccines that are essential for every cat, and non-core vaccines that may or may not be necessary based on a cat’s lifestyle. For example, vaccines against feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are non-core vaccines that may or may not be necessary based on a cat’s lifestyle. For example, vaccines against feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are non-core vaccines that are generally not recommended for indoor adult cats. One core vaccine is called FVRCP, which protects against panleukopenia (feline distemper), rhino, and calici virus.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Infection is another potential threat to horses’ hooves. One common bacterial infection, thrush, causes the infection site to become black and crumbly, and a foul odor may also be present. Wet, muddy or unclean hooves are vulnerable to this and other types of infection. Repeated bouts of infection can eventually lead to a progressive deterioration of the lamina known as white line syndrome.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
A fat cat may appear happy and provide visitors with a source of amusement, but feline obesity is certainly no laughing matter. Cats who carry excess weight have a heightened risk for diabetes, cancer, liver problems, degenerative joint pain and other conditions that could severely curtail its quality of life. Recent studies discovered that more than half of all dogs and cats are diagnosed as either overweight or obese by their veterinarians. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to keep your feline from getting fat.
Obesity Treatment
The most obvious reason for feline obesity is the ingestion of more daily calories than a cat can burn off through activity or normal metabolic processes — the same basic issue faced by so many overweight humans. If your cat is encased in a thick layer of fur, you may have trouble telling whether he is overweight. You should feel deeply with your hands to see if you can feel ribs, spine or hip bones. You can also compare your cat to the body condition charts developed by Purina diets that are used by all veterinarians. If your cat is too heavy, do some serious thinking about your cat’s eating habits and activity level.
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Though Phentermine remains to be the most sought pill for a balanced weight-loss program, people with heart disease, high blood pressure, and glaucoma will have to stay away from it. Pregnant women will have to take advice from qualified doctors or physicians when it comes to taking phentermine. Doctors will have to assess the condition, and it is considered to be a risk for babies widely. Also, before getting Phentermine check for contraindication whether this applies to certain medications and inhibitors, this will need to be discussed with a doctor.
Kidney Disease Treatment
The main treatment for both kinds of kidney failure is fluids. Hospitalization with intensive fluid therapy is required for acute kidney failure, and often also used for the more severe stage of chronic. Once the cat is stabilized, many veterinarians will have you give fluids subcutaneously at home. They will teach you how to give the special fluid under the skin. Cats are surprisingly tolerant of this.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
A combination of bad breath and difficulty eating can signal that your horse may be suffering from horse periodontal disease and/or tooth decay.
Cancer Treatment

Seizure Treatment
Wound and Fracture Care
We provide sophisticated orthopedic treatments, spinal surgery, synthetic orthopedic plating gear, and complex fracture repair. The treatments are done in proper and well-equipped operation theaters. We specialized units for intensive care, orthopedics, dentistry, and trauma surgery.

Spaying and Neutering
Preparing For Kitten Season – Spay And Neuter Your Pets And Keep Them Safe And Indoors - Callaghan Road Animal Hospital

Laboratory Services
It’s important to realize that regular pet wellness screenings are critical for your puppy or kitten for a number of reasons. First, they help us identify any congenital kidney, liver, or blood disorders that otherwise wouldn’t be detected until your pet is experiencing symptoms. Diagnosing these conditions early means we can begin appropriate treatment and prevent further health issues. Second, we establish a baseline for what is normal for your new pet, so we have something to compare to should your pet become ill in the future. Lastly, many pets are spayed or neutered at around 5 to 6 months of age. The blood work performed during the wellness check allows us to determine if your pet is a stable candidate for surgery.
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
Dental health is also important to maintain the health of your pets. Regular cleaning of your pet’s teeth should be done. The teeth are polished, rinsed, providing a smooth surface that avoids the formation of plaque. Dental radiology services are also provided to study in-depth analysis of dental diseases that helps specialists treat them in a more effective manner.
Microchipping

General Pet Care

Senior Pet Care
With early detection of problems such as these, the veterinarians and staff at Callaghan Road Animal Hospital can then recommend medications and diet changes to address the physical challenges your pet is facing. While not all problems can be cured, their progression can be slowed or symptoms relieved when properly diagnosed and treated. Regular exams also allow us to establish a baseline and monitor changes in your senior pet’s health.
House Calls

Equine Vet
Healthy hooves are a vital part of a horse’s overall well-being. Damage or disease affecting these essential weight-bearing structures can not only lead to pain, lameness and secondary infection, but it can also make a horse more vulnerable to trips and falls that cause major traumatic injuries. In addition to having any obvious signs of hoof trouble or lameness diagnosed and treated, owners should have their horses’ hooves checked and routine maintenance performed at regular intervals to ensure optimum wellness. An experienced equine veterinarian can make all the difference in your horse’s health and quality of life.
