DTLAvets - Wellness and Urgent Care Services

We provide Core Vaccinations including rabies, distemper, parvo, adenovirus (hepatitis), and parainfluenza for dogs, and Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, and feline leukemia for cats. Vaccine needs are personalized to your pet’s lifestyle, often supplemented with vaccination blood titers to gauge antibody levels and avoid unnecessary shots.

We offer In-House Bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, as part of our diagnostic suite. These tests enable precise monitoring of diseases (e.g., diabetes via glucose/fructosamine testing), hormonal imbalances, and infectious conditions, supporting targeted treatment plans.

We offer state-of-the-art Digital X-Rays, with all radiographs reviewed by radiologists to ensure accuracy. This technology aids in assessing fractures, dental disease, cardiac conditions, and foreign bodies, with findings integrated into personalized treatment protocols.

We provide Ultrasound Imaging as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to examine abdominal organs, reproductive physiology, and soft tissues. Our team is certified in ultrasound techniques and collaborates with specialists for complex cases, such as reproductive or oncologic evaluations.

We include Eye Pressure Testing in ocular exams to screen for glaucoma via tonometry. High-pressure results prompt further diagnostics (e.g., ultrasound) or referral to a veterinary ophthalmologist for intervention.

We conduct Blood Pressure Monitoring to screen for hypertension (e.g., in small dogs or cats with kidney disease) or hypothyroidism. Repeat measurements with specialized equipment ensure accuracy, guiding treatment for cardiac or renal conditions.

We conduct EKG / ECG tests to evaluate heart function, detecting arrhythmias or other cardiac abnormalities in pets experiencing coughing, weakness, or exercise intolerance. These results inform diagnostics and treatment plans, often paired with other monitoring tools.

We emphasize At-Home Dental Care Education, including brushing techniques, dental gels, and diet recommendations to extend time between professional cleanings. Regular oral hygiene reduces tartar buildup and lowers anesthesia risks for subsequent cleanings.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery, including routine procedures and complex cases like retained testicles. Anesthesia safety is prioritized via pre-operative blood tests and IV fluids, with dedicated monitoring and tailored post-operative care to ensure rapid recovery.

We remove bladder stones via surgical intervention, using ultrasound and radiography for precise localization. Perioperative care includes pain management, IV fluids, and monitoring to mitigate risks, with dietary adjustments recommended post-operatively.

We specialize in Cherry Eye Repair, correcting prolapsed glandular tissue in the third eyelid—a common condition in bulldogs or cocker spaniels. Minimally invasive techniques ensure functional correction while preserving tear production.

While we handle walk-in emergencies during business hours, our Emergency Stabilization efforts extend to pre-referral care (e.g., IV fluids for toxin exposure or trauma). For after-hours crises, we direct pet owners to nearby emergency facilities (e.g., Eagle Rock Emergency Pet Clinic) and provide triage guidance.

We provide Hospitalization for pets requiring constant care, including diagnostic recovery, chronic ailment management, and post-surgical monitoring. Our team observes vital signs, adjusts medications, and ensures comfort during extended stays.

We provide Acupuncture based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), utilizing thin needles, fluid injections, electrical currents, or moxibustion to rebalance energy (*Qi*) and address imbalances. Treatments are tailored to each pet, often combined with Western medicine to reduce medication frequency. We emphasize whole-body care and require a detailed questionnaire (submitted 24+ hours prior) for personalized treatment plans spanning neurology, dermatology, GI, and behavioral conditions.

We offer Herbal Medicine Consultations using traditional Chinese herbology, which complements acupuncture. Custom formulas (with 4+ herbs, up to 15+ per prescription) target neurologic, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, and behavioral issues. Unlike Western herbs, Chinese herbs are formulated for holistic balance, drawing from a pharmacopeia of nearly 3,000 options. Prior to sessions, we review your pet’s history via a TCVM-specific questionnaire to ensure precision.
