University Veterinary Hospital: Jarrell Shannon L DVM

We provide Comprehensive Physical Exams tailored to all life stages, including puppies, adults, and senior pets. Our exams include thorough evaluations of your pet’s overall health, early disease detection, and personalized wellness recommendations to ensure a long, happy life.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to establish a strong foundation for your new companion. This includes parasite testing (fecal exams), deworming, core vaccinations, and growth monitoring to support healthy development.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for aging pets. We recommend semiannual exams, baseline bloodwork (including Senior Profiles), and early detection of conditions like diabetes, renal disease, or arthritis to maintain quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations for dogs and cats, including rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, to protect against highly contagious and often fatal diseases. These vaccines are essential for all pets, regardless of lifestyle.

We offer annual Heartworm Testing & Prevention, including FDA-approved medications tailored to your pet’s needs. Heartworm disease is preventable, but early detection through testing is critical for treatment and management.

Our clinic provides Flea & Tick Prevention solutions, including topical treatments, oral medications, and collars. We customize prevention plans to protect your pet year-round from parasites that can cause discomfort or transmit diseases like Lyme.

We provide Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services to address dietary needs at every life stage. Our team helps tailor meal plans, monitor weight, and recommend supplements or therapeutic diets for optimal health.

As part of our wellness programs, we perform Parasite Deworming using fecal testing to identify intestinal parasites. Treatment includes safe, effective dewormers to eliminate worms and prevent reinfection.

Our hospital offers In-House Bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, for rapid diagnosis of infections, organ function, diabetes, and other systemic diseases. Results are available during your visit.

We provide Urinalysis to assess kidney function, detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), crystals, or bladder issues. This diagnostic tool is essential for early intervention in conditions like diabetes or renal disease.

Our Fecal Testing service screens for intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) and protozoa. This is a key part of preventive care, especially for puppies, kittens, and outdoor pets.

We utilize Digital X-Rays for comprehensive diagnostics, including bone fractures, dental disease, heart/lung evaluations, and abdominal assessments. Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures high-resolution images for accurate diagnoses.

Our clinic performs Ultrasound Imaging to evaluate organs (liver, kidneys, spleen), detect masses, assess pregnancies, and guide procedures like fine-needle aspirates. Ultrasounds are non-invasive and provide real-time imaging.

We offer Blood Pressure Monitoring for pets at risk of hypertension, particularly senior animals or those with kidney disease. Early detection helps manage conditions that can affect the heart and organs.

We perform Dental X-Rays during every comprehensive oral exam to identify problems not visible above the gumline, such as abscesses, fractures, or periodontal disease. This ensures thorough treatment planning.

For severe dental disease or trauma, we provide Tooth Extractions using advanced techniques to preserve oral health and alleviate pain. Post-extraction care instructions are provided for optimal healing.

Our team performs Oral Surgery, including periodontal pocket therapy, jawbone resections (for tumors or fractures), and tumor removals. We use minimally invasive techniques when possible to reduce recovery time.

We treat Periodontal Disease through deep cleanings, root planing, and gingival surgeries to address gum inflammation and bone loss. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and systemic health risks.

We offer Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine preventive service to reduce the risk of cancers, unwanted litters, and behavioral issues. Our team ensures safe anesthesia and post-operative care for smooth recovery.

Our hospital performs C-Sections for complicated deliveries, including dystocia or fetal distress. We provide 24/7 monitoring and neonatal care to ensure the health of mother and puppies/kittens.

We treat Wound & Laceration Repairs with advanced suturing techniques, wound cleaning, and infection prevention. Our critical care unit supports complex cases requiring hospitalization.

We provide Emergency Stabilization, including IV fluids, pain management, and oxygen therapy during critical care episodes. For after-hours emergencies, we partner with Shreveport Bossier Animal Emergency Clinic.

Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring is available in our intensive care unit for pets requiring continuous observation, IV medications, or post-surgical recovery. Our team ensures round-the-clock support.

We administer Oxygen Therapy to stabilize patients with respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or chronic lung diseases. Oxygen cages and monitoring ensure safe delivery.

IV Fluid Therapy is a cornerstone of our critical care, used for dehydration, shock, kidney disease, or post-surgical support. Our ICU team tailors fluid types (e.g., crystalloids, colloids) to each patient’s needs.

Our Pain Management protocols include preemptive analgesia, oral/transdermal medications, and post-operative care plans. We prioritize comfort while monitoring for side effects in chronic or acute pain cases.

Poison & Toxin Treatment involves immediate intervention (e.g., induced vomiting, IV fluids) and supportive care for ingestions of chocolate, lilies, rodenticides, or human medications. Early action improves outcomes.

Chemotherapy & Radiation are offered as part of our oncology services, with protocols tailored to tumor type and patient tolerance. We collaborate with specialists and monitor side effects closely to maintain quality of life.

Stem Cell Therapy uses autologous (patient-derived) stem cells to treat degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, and spinal conditions. This regenerative approach promotes tissue repair and reduces inflammation.

Medical Grooming services include Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression for pets with mobility issues, skin conditions, or hygiene needs. Our groomers work closely with veterinarians.

Sanitary Shave is performed to prevent urinary tract infections in long-haired pets or those with matted fur around the genital/anal area. This service is often recommended for senior or diabetic animals.

Nail Trimming & Dremeling is offered to prevent overgrowth, which can cause pain or joint issues. We provide safe techniques and post-trim care instructions for pet owners.

Anal Gland Expression relieves discomfort from impacted glands in dogs, a common issue causing scooting or licking. This quick procedure is performed during wellness exams if needed.

Acupuncture is offered as part of our alternative therapies for pain management, arthritis, and neurological conditions. Our certified practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.

Cold Laser Therapy accelerates healing for wounds, post-surgical sites, and chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or ear infections. Sessions are non-invasive and pain-free, often combined with other treatments.

Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation includes underwater treadmill (Hydrotherapy), massage, and targeted exercises to restore mobility after surgery or injury. Our rehab program is tailored to each pet’s condition.

Hydrotherapy uses an underwater treadmill to reduce joint stress while improving strength and range of motion for pets recovering from orthopedic surgery or managing arthritis. Sessions are supervised by our rehab team.

Standard Pet Boarding offers comfortable, supervised stays for dogs and cats, including climate-controlled kennels, enrichment activities, and daily health checks. We accommodate pets of all ages and needs.

Doggie Daycare provides socialization, exercise, and playtime in a secure environment. Our staff monitors interactions to ensure safety and fun for all participants.

Quality of Life Assessment is discussed during cancer care or end-of-life planning. We evaluate pain levels, mobility, appetite, and happiness to guide treatment decisions that prioritize your pet’s comfort.
