Nixa Animal Hospital

We provide thorough annual physical examinations for all pets, evaluating every part of their body—including eyes, ears, mouth, lymph nodes, joints, and internal organs—to detect early signs of illness or pain. Our exams also assess behavior changes and lifestyle adjustments to ensure your pet remains healthy.

We administer essential core vaccinations tailored to your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle. These include protections against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and other critical diseases to safeguard their long-term well-being.

We provide annual heartworm testing and customized prevention programs using FDA-approved medications to protect your pet from this deadly parasite, especially for dogs at risk due to environmental factors.

Our clinic offers individualized flea and tick control programs, including topical treatments and oral medications, to eliminate infestations and prevent secondary diseases like Lyme or Ehrlichia.

We implant ResQ microchips for permanent identification of your pet, along with registration in national databases. This ensures a higher chance of reunification if they ever get lost.

Outdoor cats and dogs receive targeted deworming treatments during exams to eliminate intestinal parasites, which are common in pets with hunting or scavenging behaviors. We also provide year-round parasite control programs.

Our veterinarians offer guidance on addressing behavioral issues such as aggression, excessive barking, house soiling, chewing, and anxiety through tailored advice and training recommendations.

We perform comprehensive in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, to assess organ function, detect diseases early, and ensure pets are healthy before anesthesia or surgery.

Our laboratory services include urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions that may affect your pet’s health.

We recommend annual fecal testing (e.g., 4DX and intestinal parasite screens) to detect parasites like giardia or heartworm larvae, ensuring early treatment and prevention of zoonotic risks.

Our modern radiology suite provides high-quality digital X-rays for diagnosing fractures, dental disease, organ abnormalities, and other conditions requiring internal imaging.

We offer on-site electrocardiography (ECG) to evaluate heart rhythm and function, with consultations available from cardiology specialists for complex cases.

All dental patients receive comprehensive digital dental radiographs to assess hidden issues like root infections or bone loss, guiding treatment decisions for extractions or periodontal therapy.

We perform tooth extractions for diseased, broken, or severely decayed teeth under anesthesia, ensuring pain relief and improved quality of life for your pet.

Our surgical suite handles complex oral procedures, including tumor removals, jaw repairs, and advanced periodontal surgeries to address severe dental conditions.

We treat periodontal disease through scaling, root planing, antibiotic therapy, and extractions as needed. Early intervention prevents tooth loss and systemic infections affecting organs like the heart or kidneys.

After dental procedures, we provide guidance on at-home care, including toothbrushing techniques, dental diets, and oral rinses to extend the time between professional cleanings.

We perform routine spay/neuter surgeries in our state-of-the-art surgical suite, using safe anesthesia protocols and post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery for your pet.

For pets in respiratory distress or post-surgery, we provide oxygen therapy to improve oxygen saturation and support recovery under veterinary supervision.

All patients undergoing anesthesia or illness receive IV fluid therapy to maintain hydration, blood pressure, and organ function during procedures or recovery.

We offer multi-modal pain management protocols for surgical and chronic conditions, including injectable medications, oral analgesics, and post-operative care plans tailored to your pet’s needs.

In cases of poisoning or toxin exposure, we provide emergency decontamination, IV fluids, and supportive care to counteract ingestion of common household or environmental toxins.

We perform sanitary shaves for pets with matted fur, skin conditions, or those requiring post-surgical hygiene to prevent infections and promote healing.
