Comprehensive Veterinary Services: Caring for Every Aspect of Your Pet's Health

Hickman Run Animal Hospital offers a wide range of veterinary services to address all aspects of your pet's health and well-being. Our routine and preventative care services are designed to keep your pet healthy throughout their life:

• Wellness Exams: Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection of potential health issues. Our comprehensive physical examinations assess your pet's overall body condition, including eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, heart, lungs, abdominal organs, musculoskeletal system, neurologic system, urogenital system, lymph nodes, and skin/coat. We will discuss any identified health problems and outline a medical plan for further evaluation.
• Vaccinations: Protecting your pet from infectious diseases is vital. We provide core and elective vaccinations based on your pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors.
• Sterilization Surgery (Spay/Neuter): These routine surgical procedures offer numerous health and behavioral benefits for your pet.
• Soft-Tissue Surgery: Our experienced veterinarians are skilled in performing a variety of soft-tissue surgeries.
• Dental Cleanings: Dental health is often overlooked but is essential for your pet's overall well-being. We offer thorough dental cleanings, including scaling and polishing, and utilize dental radiography to assess the health of the teeth below the gum line. Extractions are performed when necessary.
• Full-Service In-House Lab: Our in-house laboratory allows for timely processing of blood work, urine samples, and fecal tests, enabling us to quickly diagnose and begin treatment for various conditions. We offer point-of-care testing for immediate results and also utilize reference labs for more specialized diagnostics.
• Parasite Prevention: We offer guidance on preventing heartworm disease, intestinal parasites, and external parasites such as fleas and ticks. Annual age-appropriate lab tests for heartworm and tick-borne diseases, as well as fecal tests, may be recommended.
• Puppy & Kitten Care: We provide comprehensive care for young pets, including regular physical examinations, vaccinations, parasite testing and deworming, and guidance on nutrition, potty training, and potential health hazards.
• Senior Pet Care: As pets age, their healthcare needs change. We offer specialized care for senior pets, addressing conditions such as arthritis, dental disease, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, and endocrine disorders.
• Grooming: We offer basic grooming services such as nail trims, anal gland expression, ear cleaning, and medically necessary shave-downs. Up-to-date vaccinations are required for grooming appointments.

In addition to routine care, Hickman Run Animal Hospital is equipped to provide specialized services:

• Digital Radiography: This advanced imaging technology allows us to obtain high-quality X-rays quickly and efficiently, aiding in the diagnosis of various conditions.
• Dental Radiography: Specifically used during dental cleanings, this allows us to visualize the tooth roots and surrounding bone, identifying problems not visible during a regular oral exam.
• Therapeutic Laser: This non-invasive treatment modality can help reduce pain and inflammation, and promote healing for various conditions.
• Advanced Anesthesia: We utilize modern anesthetic protocols and equipment to ensure your pet's safety and comfort during surgical and dental procedures.
• Microscopy: We use microscopy to evaluate lab samples such as ear swabs, skin scrapings, and needle biopsies, which is crucial in diagnosing dermatologic and otic (ear) conditions. Ocular conditions may also be evaluated using specific tests.
• Imaging (Ultrasound): Ultrasound allows us to visualize internal organs, aiding in the diagnosis of heart and lung conditions, gastrointestinal obstructions, tumors, fluid accumulation, urinary or gallstones, reproductive diseases, and bone/joint disorders.
