Brewer Animal Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
For cats and dogs. Dental Cleaning consists of a general anesthetic followed by an ultrasonic cleaning of all surfaces of all teeth. The teeth will be evaluated by our doctors and any loose or damaged teeth will be extracted. The teeth are then polished and a protective hygienic rinse applied.
Vaccination
Rabies vaccine is given at or around 16 weeks of age and is good for a year. 3 year duration rabies vaccines are given thereafter. Rabies vaccination is required by law for all dogs.
Nutritional Counseling
Distemper- Canine Distemper is a disease that spreads through the air or by contact with infected bodily fluids. The disease can also be spread if a dog eats or drinks from the same bowl as a dog infected with the virus. The disease affects dogs by attacking their nervous and immune systems. Symptoms of distemper include dullness and redness of the eyes, discharge from the nose, cough, shivering, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, thickened foot pads, and loss of appetite. While there is no real treatment or cure for the distemper virus, your dog can be vaccinated against the virus.
Comprehensive Examination
Yearly wellness exams are the best way to find problems early, before they become difficult to treat. The use of vaccines, heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative is very important to keeping your pet healthy and happy.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Your new puppy or kitten will be seen every 3-4 weeks until 4-5 months of age. Appointments will include needed vaccines, de-worming, flea control, and discussion of the issues and questions that may arise with pediatric patients.
Behavioral Disorder Treatment
Distemper- Feline Distemper, or Panleukopenia, is a severe, highly-contagious viral disease. The virus invades rapidly growing cells such as those of the digestive system, bone marrow, lymph tissue, and the developing nervous system. Common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, low white blood cell count, and seizures.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Parainfluenza - The parainfluenza virus causes upper and lower respiratory infections. It is also known as a type of kennel cough. Canine parvovirus (CPV) is anintestinal disease with rapid onset and varying degrees of illness. It most commonly affects puppies with mild to severe illness, but can also affect dogs with low immune systems. It can be fatal.Canine parvovirus is transmitted from one dog to another through feces or from objects contaminated by feces. It can be carried on a dog's hair and feet, as well as on contaminated cages, shoes, and other objects. Because food and water dishes, cages, bedding, litter boxes, rugs, and soil can become contaminated with the virus, the dog's environment can become a reservoir for infection. Symptoms include depression, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominalpain, and severe bloody diarrhea.
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
A very common and complex problem in pets is skin disease. Many things may cause itchy, irritated skin. Using appropriate testing, the cause or causes can be identified. For allergies, we often recommend multi-modal treatment options such as: oral and topical medications, special diets, and allergy testing to determine specifically what allergies are present. We offer immunotherapy- allergen injections- through a national lab with over 35 years of experience.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Bordetella - Also known as kennel cough, Bordetella is a bacterial illness that is most common among dogs that congregate in places such shows, kennels, grooming facilities, parks or other places frequented by large numbers of dogs. It is a bacterial infection of the respiratory system characterized by severe coughing and gagging. It is a very contagious airborne disease. Treatment consists of antibiotics and cough suppressants. Most dogs respond quickly to therapy, but some develop a chronic cough syndrome that may last for months.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
Leptospirosis - Leptospirosis is a disease caused by a bacterium called Leptospira which in the past has been found in our local water supply. Leptospirosis is spread mainly by contact with water or soil contaminated by the urine, or blood of infected animals such as rodents or birds. Pets can also contract leptospirosis from swimming in infected ponds or lakes. Chlorinated water, such as that in swimming pools or municipal drinking water, has not been shown to transmit leptospirosis. Symptoms include fever, tenderness of touch, shivering, and rapid dehydration. Severely infected dogs may experience hypothermia. Leptospirosis attacks kidney and liver functions.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Parvo - Parvo is a viral disease that attacks the intestinal tract and immune system. It can be transmitted by direct or indirect contact with the vomit or diarrhea from an infected dog. The Parvovirus can cause vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, depression, dehydration, high fever and sudden death. The Parvovirus is difficult to kill and is shed in large numbers by infected dogs. One ounce of feces can carry millions of particles of the virus. This means a fly can land in an infected area then land in your yard and infect that space. Parvo is often fatal and strikes suddenly causing your pet to become extremely ill. Without treatment, the animal often dies within a few days.
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Anal Gland Infection Treatment
We have taken down the "call to check in" signs in the parking lot, and are pretty much back to pre-covid procedures! We can still assist curbside if that is your preference, and masks are a personal preference as well. We are still unfortunately booking out wellness and vaccine appointments 3-4 weeks in advance. We will continue to schedule all technician procedures such as nail trims and anal gland expression. We do not have the staff or time slots during the day to take these appointments on a walk-in basis as we did in the past. It looks like we will continue to operate this way for the foreseeable future. We are still accepting new clients, but our main priority is our established clientele and we may not be able to offer immediate appointments to new clientele. Thank you for all your patience and kindness these past few years when operations were changing frequently. We love and appreciate you all more than you could ever know!

Chronic Condition Treatment

Heart Disease Treatment
The doctors at Brewer Animal Hospital perform a variety of surgeries from spays and neuters to tumor removals. Patient monitoring is performed by certified veterinary technicians using state of the art equipment that tracks respiration, oxygen levels, EKG and blood pressure.?

Wound and Fracture Care
FIV - Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes an infectious disease in domestic cats which is similar to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection). This disease is also known as feline AIDS. It attacks and weakens the immune system, making the animal susceptible to infections and diseases that don't affect healthy cats. There is no a cure or a vaccine for FIV. Though eventually fatal, an FIV-positive cat can live for many years without any signs of illness. Older cats and outdoor cats are more susceptible to the disease. Aggressive male cats are also high risk. FIV is primarily transmitted through deep penetrating bite wounds or contact with contaminated blood. It can also be passed from an infected mother to her kittens during gestation.

Veterinary Surgery
Spaying and Neutering
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures to remove reproductive organs. These procedures are typically recommended for puppies and kittens before they reach sexual maturity (at about 6 to 9 months of age) though this may vary depending species and breed.

Laboratory Services
If caught in time, heartworm disease can be treated. It is, however, extremely costly and very strenuous on the animal. The best way to avoid heartworm disease is to give your pet monthly heartworm preventative such as Interceptor, Sentinel, or Heartgard, all of which are available at Brewer Animal Hospital. Before your pet can be started on heartworm prevention, a blood test is required to make sure that your pet is not already infected with microfilaria. The blood test is required annually to keep your pet on heartworm prevention (every other year if your pet is kept on heartworm prevention through the winter months). In Central Illinois, where mosquitoes do not pose a threat after mid-autumn, you do not need to keep your pet on year-round heartworm prevention. However, it is a good idea to continue heartworm prevention through the winter months in case we experience unseasonably warm temperatures during which mosquitoes can thrive. Although cats are also at risk for heartworm, we generally only treat dogs with heartworm prevention. For outdoor cats, we will suggest annual testing and keeping them on a heartworm prevention. We suggest getting your pet tested for heartworm disease starting in April and no later than the beginning of July, as it takes at least six months for the microfilaria to show up on a heartworm test.
X-Ray
Microchipping
Microchipping your pet is the most safe and effective solution to permanently identify your pet. Once the procedure is complete and you enroll your pet in the PETtrac Recovery Service, your pet will have a permanent link back to you, the owner, via the PETtrac Recovery Network. This technology greatly improves your pet's chances of being reunited with you, its owner.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Grooming
We do not provide any grooming services, but we can bathe using hypoallergenic or medicated shampoo as prescribed by the doctor for pets that have skin issues. We can also provide regular baths for pets that are staying in the kennel if requested during their stay.
