Proactive Health
& Senior Care

At Five Forks Animal Hospital, we accept the importance of preventing diseases in your pet. Our recommendations may range from a diet change to customized physical therapy. Our veterinarian recommends that you have yearly blood tests to help uncover diseases as soon as possible. For senior pets, we propose that you bring them to our veterinary hospital bi-annually to deal with any troubles that could develop as they get older.

Dental Care

Dental wellbeing is particularly vital in pets. Tartar, gingivitis, and tooth decay are problems that take place over time in numerous pets. Dental disease is a frequent source of disease for your pet's heart, kidney, and other vital organs. It may also cause irritation. Our veterinary hospital has cutting-edge equipment, with digital dental X-rays. We are well-educated in the most recent dental techniques. We make every effort to inform you of the importance of dental care so that your pet can stay happy and strong.

Ear Disease

Ear disease or "otitis" is one of the most widespread diseases we treat at Five Forks Animal Hospital. Core allergies commonly trigger this disease. It commonly results in shaking and rubbing of the ears or face. At Five Forks Animal Hospital, our objective is to treat your pet's ears so that we can solve the current infection and prevent possible contagious illnesses.

Heartworm & Flea Prevention

Heartworm and flea protection have come to be more efficient and easier to use in modern years. We appreciate that each pet has exceptional needs, which is why we will build a process to ensure that we keep away from heartworms and fleas. We obtain all products directly from the manufacturer, and we have warranties on all of them.

Numerous online pharmacies do not purchase their products directly from the manufacturer, and some of the products purchased are from abroad. Our prices are commonly lower than internet pharmacies because we are delivering rebates or get-one-free packages. Your pet's wellbeing and welfare are of our utmost significance.

Spay & Neuter

Spaying or neutering is essential to regulate the pet general population and lessen needless behaviors. We try to make the spaying or neutering process simple and pain-free. Our veterinarian takes several cautious steps, including putting an IV catheter to provide fluids before, during, and after anesthesia. This plays a significant part in producing relief after surgery and stopping kidney disease in the future.

Our team wears disinfected gowns and gloves for this practice and utilizes sterilized tools and sutures. We have a dedicated surgery room that is outfitted entirely for this purpose. Your pet's blood pressure, oxygen, temperature, heart rate, and rhythm will be analyzed throughout. We additionally concentrate on pain management by recommending three pain medications during surgery. All sutures we use are under the skin and melt away.

Vaccines

Vaccines are an essential part of protecting your pet's well-being. We have completed extensive research to determine the safest and most useful vaccines for your pet.

X-rays

X-rays are an additional tool we use at Five Forks Animal Hospital to detect a range of health problems, involving fractured bones and cancer. It is a considerable part of identifying many diseases. Our veterinarian and team have devoted countless hours training with radiologists to become proficient in imaging your pet.
