Marcello Veterinary Hospital Raceland

Our team specializes in geriatric care for senior pets, focusing on routine wellness exams, early disease detection, and proactive treatments to maintain their health and comfort as they age. We address common issues like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and more.

We emphasize the importance of heartworm testing and prevention for your pet’s long-term health, offering comprehensive programs to protect them from this serious and potentially fatal disease.

We provide microchipping services to ensure your pet can be identified and returned if they ever become lost, offering peace of mind with efficient registration.

Our in-clinic diagnostics lab provides quick and accurate bloodwork services, including CBCs and chemistry panels like SMAC (blood chemistries), to assess organ function, pre-operative screening, and wellness profiling for early disease detection.

We perform urinalysis as a key diagnostic tool to evaluate kidney and urinary tract health, detect metabolic diseases like diabetes, and provide insights into your pet’s overall well-being during routine or comprehensive exams.

Our fecal examinations help identify intestinal parasites such as roundworms or hookworms, ensuring your pet—and your family—stay healthy. We recommend annual testing to prevent discomfort and potential zoonotic risks.

During dental procedures, we use digital X-rays to assess hidden issues like tooth root infections, fractures, or oral diseases that may not be visible during a standard exam. This ensures comprehensive care for your pet’s oral health.

Our team performs tooth extractions when necessary to treat severe dental disease, fractures, or infections, ensuring your pet’s comfort and oral health are prioritized during recovery.

We provide spay and neuter surgeries to prevent unwanted litters while reducing the risk of certain cancers and behavioral issues. Our procedures are performed with careful monitoring and a focus on your pet’s safety.

We offer emergency care during regular clinic hours for acute conditions like severe bleeding, trauma, or sudden illness. Our team provides immediate stabilization and advanced training in critical care protocols.

As part of our intensive care services, we provide oxygen therapy to support pets requiring respiratory assistance or those recovering from anesthesia or surgery.

Our critical care unit offers IV fluid therapy to maintain hydration and stabilize patients with severe illness, trauma, or post-surgical needs. This is a key component of our intensive monitoring services.

We prioritize pain management for pets undergoing surgery, recovery, or chronic conditions, using tailored medications and therapies to ensure their comfort and well-being.

Our team conducts thorough quality-of-life assessments for senior or terminally ill pets to guide compassionate end-of-life care decisions, focusing on pain management and comfort.
