Frequently Asked Questions

Common medical concerns and frequently asked questions.

Diarrhea

There are many causes of diarrhea in dogs and cats. It could be simply eating something that does not agree with the digestive system or something as severe as a potentially fatal viral infection. The doctor will help you formulate a treatment plan after taking a detailed history and performing a physical exam.

Vomiting

Vomiting is a very common problem. In younger pets, it’s more likely to be caused by eating abnormal material or food that is indigestible. Bones, corn cobs, toys, and rocks are commonly found in foreign bodies causing blockage and severe vomiting. Some patients will need surgery to remove the foreign bodies.

Yearly blood work is recommended to screen for disease in older pets.

If Your Pet Is Not Eating

Anything that makes your pet sick can cause it to stop eating. Pain, toxins, infection, internal disease, cancer, etc., can cause a pet to feel too bad to eat. After taking a medical history and performing a physical exam, your veterinarian will decide what tests to run first to make a diagnosis. The longer the condition is left untreated, the worse the outcome will be.

Please do not wait until it’s too late to treat.

Skin Irritation

Based on the history and physical exam findings, your veterinarian will help you formulate a treatment plan to help your pet feel better soon. Usually, infection-induced skin problems are easier to treat and cure.
