Preventive Care

Dental Care
The best way to properly care for your pet’s oral hygiene is to brush their teeth daily. Just like us, our pets develop plaque on their teeth which, if not removed, can lead to oral health problems. There are bones and special treats that can help promote oral health, but the best way to clean your pet’s teeth is by brushing them. It may take some time for your dog or cat to get used to the idea of having their teeth brushed, but they can be eased into it. You can start by letting them taste the toothpaste from your finger. There are special veterinary toothpastes made in flavors like chicken that appeal to animals. Once they get used to the toothpaste you can begin by brushing 1-2 teeth to introduce them to the sensation. After a few cleanings your pet will probably start to enjoy the brushing and will be happy to let you do it. Along with the special toothpaste a special toothbrush should be used with soft bristles and a long handle so you can reach the teeth in the back of your pet’s mouth.

Vaccination
At First Capitol Animal Hospital, we provide a wide range of services to keep your pets healthy and happy. From routine checkups and vaccinations to more advanced care, we have the experience and expertise to meet all of your pet’s needs. We understand that your pet is a member of the family, and we will always treat them with the compassion and respect they deserve.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
The eyes are checked for cataracts, retina disease, signs of glaucoma, and other abnormalities. These can all results in blindness, so it is important to check for them regularly.
Nutritional Counseling
The more common name for this virus is “distemper”. It is a highly contagious disease which is why vaccination is recommended. Symptoms include fever, seizures, loss of appetite, and possibly death. Kittens are born with a natural immunity for the first few weeks of their lives. Vaccinations should start at around 8 weeks old and there are series of about 3 follow-ups about 3 to 4 weeks apart. Your cat should also receive a vaccination every 1 to 3 years going forward.
Comprehensive Examination
Physical exams are just as important for your pet as they are for you and me. They are probably even more important because your dog or cat can’t tell you when they need to go to the doctor! There may be signs from your pet that they are sick, such as laziness, lack of appetite, and change in demeanor, among others. If you notice these symptoms you should schedule an appointment with your vet. Even if your pet seems to be perfectly healthy, you should bring them in for a physical exam at least once a year, and more often if they are older. Your pet’s exam will be very similar to a physical you would have, including checking...

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
There are many medications available that help prevent your pet from being infested with fleas. They can begin taking this medication at about 8-10 weeks of age, and should take the medicine year round. Fleas are more prevalent in warm areas, but they can continue to live in your house during the winter months, so year round prevention is recommended. On top of the medication, you should be cautious of where your pet walks when outside. High grassy areas tend to be inhabited by fleas and ticks, so beware.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
This is checked to make sure that there are no fleas, ticks or other parasites that have made your pet their home.

Infection Treatment

Leptospirosis Treatment
This bacterial disease causes high fever, vomiting, loss of appetite and depression and can lead to kidney failure or liver disease. It is carried by wildlife, mainly rodents, and can affect any breed of dog. Humans can get sick from Leptospirosis also. Most dog breeds should be vaccinated against this disease.
Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
This is another virus that is spread through direct contact with an infected cat. For this reason the vaccine is highly recommended for outdoor cats, or cats that are frequently in contact with other cats. Indoor, solitary cats should still be vaccinated to prevent against the potentially fatal virus, but are not at as high a risk to contract it. Like all vaccines, there are some potential side effects. A small percentage of cats developed cancerous sarcomas where they were injected with the vaccine. Have a conversation with your vet if you have any questions about the vaccine.
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
This disease is more commonly referred to as “parvo” and is one of the leading causes of viral infections in dogs. It is highly contagious and transmitted by direct or indirect contact with contaminated feces. There are cardiac and intestinal forms of the disease, both of which are fatal in most cases when left untreated. The vaccination is highly recommended and is given in a series of shots starting when the puppy is about 7 to 8 weeks old.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Heart Disease Treatment
A high percentage of cats and dogs will experience periodontal disease during their lives, and the risk increases as they get older. Periodontal disease affects the gum and supporting structures of the teeth. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and bone loss in the jaw. Periodontal disease is also related to other health issues, such as heart disease. It is important to have regularly scheduled teeth and gum cleanings for your pet.
Kidney Disease Treatment
Periodontal Disease Treatment

Wound and Fracture Care
We routinely provide a wide array of veterinary surgical procedures in our office. Some of these procedures include: spays, neuters, tumor removals, laceration repairs, fracture repairs and much more. Our office is equipped with top of the line surgical equipment to make sure that your pet is cared for as you would like them to be.

Laboratory Services
During the visit we will check your pets’ vitals, make sure all vaccinations are up to date, and perform any necessary blood work. Blood work can help to diagnose heartworm, Lyme disease, viral infections, and other diseases that can be treated more easily when detected early. The best way to combat these diseases is actually to stop them before they happen. There are many vaccines and medications available to prevent them. We will make sure your pet is taking the necessary medications to keep them safe.
