Conditions Treated Pet Care from Our Veterinarian
Keeping your pet happy and healthy by treating his health conditions is an important way to help ensure his overall well-being. Getting a pet wellness exam can help you to discover health problems in a timely manner and get the preventative care that your pet might need to continue to stay healthy into the future. At the Animal Hospital of Loves Park Loves Park, IL, we work with pet owners to help ensure their pets are healthy and active. Here are some of the conditions we can help treat:
Pet Allergies
Pets can have allergies like humans can. Pet allergies can make your pet feel uncomfortable and, if left untreated for long enough, might lead to complications like chronic infections. Visit our veterinarian to get help to manage your pet’s allergies.
Fleas and Ticks
Protecting against fleas, ticks and heartworms is a basic requirement for pet owners. Not only are fleas and ticks irritating pets, but they can also cause serious health problems like skin allergies and anemia. Regularly check your pet's fur and skin for any signs of infestation and consult a professional if you find one. You should also use preventive treatments such as topical solutions, sprays, and shampoos to keep your skin healthy and free of these parasites. Our vet can recommend different types of preventative care to help keep your pet healthy. Some of these flea and tick prevention methods can also protect against heartworms.
Weight Problems
Ensure your pet gets all the necessary nutrients to stay healthy and energized. Work with our veterinarian if you need clarification on what food type your pet should eat. Try not to give your pet too many table scraps as they might make your pet overweight. Too much weight can cause a lot of problems for pets.
Pet Arthritis
Pet arthritis, especially among senior pets, can be debilitating and contribute to a decline in activity. Keeping your pet active through regular exercise will help them stay healthy and improve their mobility. This can include walks outside, playing fetch indoors, or even swimming if your pet is comfortable. You don't want pet arthritis to prevent your pet from having fun; regular exercise can help keep them happy. Our vet can recommend different types of exercises for your pet to do and potentially provide painkillers to help him stay comfortable.
