Preventive Care

Dental Care
If the answer is “yes” then it is time to bring your four legged friend to the vet for a complete dental exam and cleaning.
Vaccination
A cat's air of independence does not mean that it can take care of all its own needs. Cat owners have important responsibilities such as providing food and water, social interaction, and changing the litter box regularly. Remember, cats have only one life, not nine! To prevent life-threatening diseases and enjoy a healthy life, your cat will require regular veterinary medical checkups and vaccinations as well. Ask your veterinarian about the common signs of feline illness.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Cherry eye is the common name for a the condition caused when the gland of the third eyelid of the dog, otherwise known as Harder’s gland or nictitans gland, becomes inflamed, swells up, pops out of place on the bulbar side of the third eyelid, and becomes more inflamed, swollen and irritated such that it becomes bloody and ulcerated, and can cover 1/2 to the whole eyeball of the dog. The condition is then referred to as follicular conjunctivitis. It used to be that when dogs developed cherry eye, veterinarians would simply remove the gland, just as medical doctors routinely removed inflamed tonsils in people. Within the past decade or so, it has now been decided that removing the gland is bad because perhaps the removal of that gland will result in reduced tear production leading to dry eye or keratoconjunctivits sicca. So now veterinarians routinely want to sew the prolapsed gland back in its original place on the third eyelid, sort of under the eyeball. There are other glands around the eyeball which make tears, and the gland of the third eyelid is not the major gland, but veterinarians are afraid of doing anything which might reduce tear production and cause the dry eye. Therefore, veterinarians all over the country refuse to remove the prolapsed gland from a Neo’s eye with the resulting catastrophes as depicted by the photos below.
Behavioral Counseling
You should make sure that you are purchasing a healthy bunny. It is best to select a young bunny. He should have clear eyes and a nose free of any mucus. The bunny should be curious and friendly. Check to see the bunny has been spayed or neutered. Most are breeders and pet stores do not alter their pets. You will want to have your new friend spayed or neutered between 4 and 6 months age. An altered pet will reduce the risk of that famous bunny reproduction and will prevent certain health and behavioral problems. In the United States, bunnies do not typically require vaccines, but be sure to check with your veterinarian to confirm the protocol in your area. Bunnies do, however, require vaccines in the United Kingdom. They always need annual check ups and fecal tests for parasites.
Nutritional Counseling
Hookworms are small, thread-like parasites of the small intestine where they attach and suck large amounts of blood. These parasites are found in almost all parts of the world, being common in dogs, and occasionally seen in cats. Symptoms are usually diarrhea and weight loss. The parasites can actually Read more

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Zoonosis refers to diseases that can be transmitted to humans from animals.

Behavioral Disorder Treatment
You will need to take your ferret in to your veterinarian twice a year for a medical checkup and yearly vaccinations. Ferrets require yearly inoculations against canine distemper. They are highly susceptible to canine distemper and it is always fatal. Do not forget to inoculate against this every year! Read more
Pain Management
Here at Ironstone Veterinary Hospital, we are now offering state of the art companion laser treatment! Laser therapy is non-invasive, is a great alternative to surgery, and can greatly reduce a patient's dependency on pain medication.

Ear Infection Treatment
Ear Cropping is cosmetic surgery like billions of women and men all over the world get done all the time. It is not cruel. Removing the long flap of the ear also helps prevent ear infections which long eared dogs get all the time. If Americans would not eat so darned much, and work more at physical labor jobs, they would not get so fat and need liposuction etc.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment

Vestibular Disease Treatment

Veterinary Surgery
Ferret ownership. This includes knowledge pertaining to ferret husbandry (care, nutrition, housing, and the species' habits). It is also recommended that no ferret be left unattended with any individual incapable of removing himself or herself from the ferret.

Declawing
Spaying and Neutering

We employ both allopathic medicine and holistic medicine, as our approch to animal care is to consider the welfare of the entire patient in everything we prescribe and plan.
