Diamond Veterinary Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
Our comprehensive dental health service begins with an examination to detect gum disease, oral tumors or ulcers, broken teeth and tartar buildup. If your pet’s teeth need cleaning, we will schedule an appointment. Dental procedures for pets must be done under anesthesia to allow us to clean and polish teeth thoroughly. While your pet is anesthetized, we scale your pet’s teeth to remove tartar above and below the gum line, using both hand instruments and ultrasonic cleaning equipment. We polish your pet’s teeth after scaling to smooth the surfaces and make them more resistant to plaque formation in the future.

Vaccination
Veterinary Ophthalmology
With advances in veterinary medicine, many health problems commonly experienced by older pets, such as dental disease, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, hypothyroidism and some forms of cancer can now be successfully treated if detected early enough. We recommend bi-annual blood and urine screening tests to detect early signs of diseases in time to reverse the effects or at least prevent further deterioration. We begin each senior screening with a complete physical examination. In older pets, we are especially alert for any signs of heart murmur, lung congestion, skin problems, weight loss, eye problems such as cataracts, enlarged lymph nodes or enlarged abdominal organs. We also conduct a thorough dental examination to detect gum disease, oral tumors or ulcers, broken teeth or tartar build-up.
Behavioral Counseling
Nutritional Counseling
If your pet needs a special diet, the veterinarian may prescribe a specially-formulated food. We carry a complete line of high-quality dog and cat foods especially for puppies and kittens, young adults, overweight pets, older pets and pets with special nutritional needs. Some of the brands we carry consist of Science Diet, Hills Pet Nutrition, Royal Canin and Purina Exclusive Veterinary Diets. In some cases, the Veterinarian may prescribe home-made or other special diets.
Comprehensive Examination
The doctors at Diamond Veterinary Hospital diagnose and treat all sorts of ailments and injuries, working closely with you to keep your pet well throughout each stage of life. As a small-animal practice, we conduct wellness exams, administer vaccines and diagnose health problems ranging from minor illnesses to life-threatening conditions in dogs and cats.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
We offer advanced testing, prevention and treatment for diseases such as leptospirosis, feline infectious peritonitis, giardia, feline leukemia and heartworms. We do our own digital radiographs and most of our laboratory tests in-house, allowing us to control quality and get test results within minutes.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Obesity Treatment
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Kidney Disease Treatment
We perform a urinalysis to check for sugar, crystals, protein, blood and white blood cells in your pet’s urine. These indicators are helpful in diagnosing diabetes, kidney disease, cystitis and other urinary tract problems.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
While dogs and cats seldom have cavities, they very often develop periodontal disease affecting the gums and other tissues. Periodontal disease causes bad breath, is painful and causes gums and bones to erode, eventually causing your pet to lose teeth. Periodontal disease can also lead to other, even more serious infections, such as endocarditis, or heart valve infection, and nephritis, or kidney infection.

Spaying and Neutering
Unless you plan to breed your pet, we recommend spaying or neutering to avoid unwanted pregnancies and a number of potential health problems such as breast cancer, testicular cancer and uterine infections.

Laboratory Services
We develop a complete blood profile to determine if your pet’s major organs are functioning properly. Specifically, we check liver enzymes, kidney enzymes, muscle enzymes, electrolytes such as potassium, chloride and sodium, and blood sugar level. We also perform a complete blood count, including red and white cell counts, hemoglobin, etc., and check your pet’s thyroid hormone level (T4) to look for abnormalities in organ function and signs of endocrine disease. Finally, we look for blood abnormalities such as anemia, bleeding disorders, infections or leukemic disorders. Test results are available within minutes from our fully-equipped in-house laboratory.
X-Ray
Our senior pet screening also includes direct digital chest x-rays to detect heart enlargement, signs of lung tumors, infection or age-related changes such as emphysema. We also use our digital radiography equipment to check for enlarged lymph nodes that could indicate an infection or cancer. We monitor all senior patients’ blood pressure using our ultrasonic doppler flowmeter.
