We Provide General Veterinary Medicine in West Linn for Your Dog or Cat, Including:
General Internal Medicine
We know you want the very best medical care for your pet, especially when they’re hurt or ill. Our team is dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and monitoring any health condition your pet may have. We help you find answers and improve your pet’s quality of life.
Commonly diagnosed medical conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and thyroid disease can be managed using the most current medical and surgical protocols.
Monitored Care of Chronic Conditions
If your pet has been diagnosed with a chronic condition such as diabetes or hypothyroidism, we provide the ongoing monitoring needed to maintain their health. We can recommend dietary adjustments, update medications and treatments, create monitoring schedules, and refer your pet to a specialist if their condition changes or doesn’t respond as expected.
Dermatology and Allergies
Pets can experience allergies just like people. Skin problems, itching, and ear infections can make your pet miserable, but they’re treatable. Our team works with you to diagnose, treat, and manage skin, ear, nail, or paw conditions caused by allergies or immune-related issues.
A quick exam can often determine whether your pet’s allergies are caused by environmental factors, food, or fleas. We can then perform diagnostics to identify the source and develop an effective treatment plan.
Ear Care
We offer professional ear cleanings and flushings to help prevent and treat infections. Inflammation of the outer ear is more common in floppy-eared dogs but can affect any breed or species.
Symptoms of an ear infection may include:
- Odor or discharge from the ear
- Scratching or shaking the head
- Redness or inflammation
- Swelling of the ear flap
If you notice any of these signs, please schedule an exam promptly to prevent complications.
Behavior
We offer training and housebreaking advice for puppies and kittens, as well as early behavior modification strategies for concerns such as:
- Aggression
- Separation anxiety
- Inappropriate elimination
- Destructive behavior
Discussing your pet’s behavior during their annual wellness exam is a great opportunity to address these issues early and prevent long-term problems.
