Bladen Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for all pets, with recommendations for annual exams and semi-annual exams for geriatric pets (7+ years). Our exams help detect early signs of health issues, allowing for prompt intervention and tailored care plans.

We offer Core Vaccinations (including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo) as part of our preventative care program. Vaccination protocols are customized based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure optimal protection.

While not explicitly stated, Heartworm Testing & Prevention is implied as part of our preventative medicine approach, given our emphasis on annual/semi-annual exams and tailored health plans (common practice for comprehensive care).

We offer Microchipping & Registration using the HomeAgain® Pet Recovery Service, a permanent ID solution to reunite lost pets with owners. The procedure is quick, painless, and includes enrollment in a secure recovery database.

We perform In-House Bloodwork (CBC and Chemistry Panels) as a requirement for pets 7+ years old undergoing anesthesia/surgery, and strongly recommend it for all patients to assess liver, kidney, and heart health before procedures.

Our clinic features a dedicated Digital X-Ray (Radiography) room for diagnostic imaging. We use X-rays to detect broken bones, heart/lung disease, foreign bodies, bladder stones, and cancers, with protective measures for staff and patients.

We provide Ultrasound Imaging services, though we refer patients to a board-certified veterinary radiologist in Wilmington for detailed scans (abdominal, echocardiograms). The procedure is non-invasive and typically requires no sedation.

As part of our Professional Dental Cleaning services, we offer Dental X-Rays to assess hidden dental issues (e.g., root infections, fractures) that may not be visible during a visual exam.

We educate pet owners on At-Home Dental Care, including brushing techniques, dental diets, flavored toothpastes, and dental chew toys to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.

While not explicitly listed, Spay & Neuter Surgery is implied under General Surgery, as it is a standard preventative procedure offered by most veterinary clinics (inferred from context and common practice).

We address Foreign Body Removal through General Surgery and Digital X-Rays, using diagnostic imaging to locate and surgically remove ingested or lodged objects from the gastrointestinal tract.

As part of our General Surgery services, we repair Wounds & Lacerations with careful suturing and post-operative care to ensure proper healing and infection prevention.

We provide Emergency Stabilization services, including immediate care for critical conditions, though the clinic does not explicitly state 24/7 emergency hours (inferred from general surgery and hospitalization context).

Post-surgery or for chronic conditions, we offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring to ensure continuous care and recovery, with tailored treatment plans.

We incorporate Pain Management strategies for surgical and chronic pain patients, using protocols aligned with pre-anesthetic bloodwork and individualized health assessments.

Our Medical Grooming services include Sanitary Shave (pre-surgery/ultrasound), Nail Trimming & Dremeling, and Anal Gland Expression to support pet health and comfort.

We offer Quality of Life Assessments to guide owners in making informed decisions about their pet’s comfort, pain management, and end-of-life care options.
