Feather River Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams during routine wellness visits to assess your pet’s overall health, including age-specific evaluations for puppies, adults, and senior pets. Our exams include detailed assessments of weight, dental health, and early detection of potential issues like arthritis or organ dysfunction.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care programs are tailored to address the unique needs of aging pets, including regular bloodwork to monitor kidney, liver, and heart function, as well as arthritis management. We develop personalized plans with dietary supplements, nutrition, and exercise recommendations to ensure your senior pet remains active and comfortable.

We administer Core Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo) as part of our preventive healthcare routine during wellness exams. These vaccinations are essential for protecting your pet from serious, often life-threatening diseases, and we follow veterinary guidelines to ensure timely boosters.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention as part of our preventive care protocols. Annual testing is critical for early detection, and we provide FDA-approved preventative medications to safeguard your pet from this potentially fatal parasitic disease.

Our clinic provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions tailored to your pet’s needs, including topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental control recommendations. These services help prevent painful bites, allergies, and serious diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia.

We offer Microchipping & Registration services, including the implantation of ResQ microchips during surgeries or wellness visits. This permanent ID ensures your pet can be returned to you if lost, and we assist with registration in national pet recovery databases.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services include personalized feeding plans, caloric intake guidelines, and breed-specific weight assessments. We address obesity risks (e.g., diabetes, joint disease) and monitor underweight pets for underlying health issues, ensuring optimal long-term health.

We perform In-House Bloodwork (CBC and Chemistry Panels) to establish baseline health data and monitor conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or liver dysfunction. Pre-surgical bloodwork is also conducted to assess organ function and reduce anesthesia risks, with IV fluids administered if minor dysfunction is detected.

As part of our diagnostic services, we offer Urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and crystals. This non-invasive test provides valuable insights during wellness exams or when symptoms like increased thirst or straining to urinate are observed.

Our Dental X-Rays service allows us to detect hidden dental issues such as root infections, fractures, or tooth resorption that aren’t visible during a standard exam. These radiographs guide our treatment plans for extractions or periodontal therapy.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive service to reduce the risk of cancers, unwanted litters, and behavioral issues. Our procedures use absorbable sutures internally and follow strict pain management protocols, with post-operative care instructions provided to ensure a smooth recovery.

While not our primary focus, we provide Emergency Stabilization for critical cases presenting outside regular hours, including IV fluid therapy, oxygen support, and pain management to prepare pets for transfer to an emergency clinic if needed. Immediate assessment and intervention are our top priorities.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy during surgeries and for pets requiring hydration support, such as those with dehydration, kidney issues, or post-anesthetic recovery. IV fluids help maintain organ function and accelerate healing, especially in geriatric or ill patients.

Our Pain Management protocols include pre- and post-surgical pain medications tailored to your pet’s species (e.g., oral anti-inflammatories for dogs, injectable pain relief for cats). We monitor pets closely for discomfort and adjust treatments to ensure their recovery is as comfortable as possible.

During surgical procedures, we offer Medical Grooming services such as nail trims, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression. These minor procedures are performed under anesthesia to enhance your pet’s comfort and hygiene without additional stress.

We provide Nail Trimming & Dremeling as part of our medical grooming services, often performed concurrently with surgeries or wellness exams. Proper nail maintenance prevents overgrowth, discomfort, and joint issues, and we use precise techniques to avoid injury.

Our Anal Gland Expression service addresses impacted anal glands, a common issue in dogs that can cause pain or scooting. This procedure is performed during wellness visits or surgeries under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and prevent recurrence.
