Cedar Mill Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages to assess overall health, detect early signs of disease, and ensure proactive care. Our veterinarians perform detailed evaluations during routine wellness visits, senior care appointments, and geriatric checkups to monitor for emerging conditions like arthritis, heart disease, or cancer.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to give your new pet the best start in life. These packages include age-appropriate vaccinations, parasite prevention, spay/neuter consultations, and nutritional counseling to support healthy growth and development. We provide guidance on socialization, training, and preventive care tailored to young pets.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on proactive health management for aging pets, including customized wellness exams, early disease detection, and tailored treatment plans. We address common geriatric issues like arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease with diagnostic testing (e.g., bloodwork, urinalysis) and proactive therapies to extend your pet’s quality of life.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus to protect your pet from serious, often life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are essential for puppies and adult dogs, following a tailored schedule (e.g., DHPP boosters) to ensure long-term immunity. Vaccination records are maintained to keep your pet’s protection up to date.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual screenings and year-round preventive medications to protect your pet from this deadly parasitic disease. Heartworm prevention is critical for dogs in the Portland area, where mosquitoes (the disease vector) are active. We provide oral and topical preventives tailored to your pet’s weight and lifestyle.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention programs include monthly medications and environmental treatments to eliminate parasites and reduce transmission risks. We recommend products like topical spot-ons, oral chewables, or collars, and provide guidance on flea/tick control in your home and yard to protect your pet and family from infestations.

We provide Microchipping & Registration services to permanently identify your pet and increase the chances of reunion if they’re lost. Microchips are implanted during routine visits and registered in national databases. We also offer scanners to check for existing chips and update registration details to ensure accuracy.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services include personalized diet plans, obesity assessments, and recommendations for prescription diets to address health conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. We partner with pet owners to create sustainable feeding strategies and monitor weight loss/gain progress during wellness visits.

We perform Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms through fecal testing and targeted treatments. Deworming is included in our puppy/kitten packages and recommended annually for all pets, especially those with outdoor access or symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss.

While we focus primarily on medical care, we provide Behavioral Counseling for common issues like anxiety, aggression, or house training challenges. Our veterinarians offer guidance on environmental modifications, training techniques, and referrals to certified behaviorists for complex cases. We address behavioral concerns during wellness exams and follow-ups.

Our in-house lab performs In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and assess organ function. Results are available quickly, allowing us to develop targeted treatment plans during the same visit. Bloodwork is essential for senior pets, pre-surgery evaluations, and disease management.

We conduct Urinalysis to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and screen for metabolic diseases like diabetes. This diagnostic test is included in routine wellness exams for senior pets and those with symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, or blood in urine. Urinalysis helps us monitor your pet’s overall health and catch issues early.

Our Fecal Testing service identifies intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, giardia) through microscopic examination of stool samples. We recommend annual fecal tests for all pets, especially puppies, kittens, and those with digestive symptoms. Early detection prevents discomfort, secondary infections, and zoonotic risks to your family.

We use Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose conditions like broken bones, arthritis, bladder stones, and tumors with safe, low-radiation imaging. Digital X-rays provide immediate results, allowing us to assess internal structures (e.g., lungs, heart, abdomen) and develop treatment plans during the same visit. This technology is critical for emergency and surgical cases.

Our Ultrasound Imaging service creates real-time images of internal organs, blood flow, and abdominal structures to diagnose issues like heart disease, organ masses, or pregnancy. Ultrasound is non-invasive and provides detailed insights for conditions not visible on X-rays, such as liver disease or reproductive health. We use ultrasound for pre-surgical assessments and geriatric screenings.

We diagnose and manage Allergies through skin tests, blood tests, and dietary trials to identify triggers like pollen, food, or environmental allergens. For complex cases, we refer patients to board-certified dermatologists for advanced treatments like RESPIT (Regionally-Specific Immunotherapy). Allergy management includes medication, dietary adjustments, and ear infection prevention.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden dental problems like abscesses, fractured teeth, or bone loss beneath the gum line. Using digital radiography, we capture high-resolution images to guide treatments such as extractions or root canals. Dental X-rays are included in comprehensive cleanings and recommended annually for pets prone to oral disease.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth under general anesthesia with strict sterile protocols. Extractions are part of our dental surgery services and are often recommended during cleanings if X-rays reveal irreversible damage. Post-operative care instructions ensure a smooth recovery for your pet.

Our Oral Surgery services include tooth extractions, jaw fracture repairs, and gum disease treatments (e.g., periodontal therapy). We use advanced techniques and pain management to address complex dental issues, with pre- and post-operative assessments to monitor your pet’s comfort and healing. Referrals to specialists are available for advanced cases.

We treat Periodontal Disease through deep cleanings, scaling, root planing, and antibiotic therapy to combat gum inflammation and bone loss. Early-stage periodontal disease is managed during dental cleanings, while advanced cases may require oral surgery or extractions. We emphasize preventive care to slow disease progression and maintain oral health.

We provide At-Home Dental Care Education to teach pet owners how to brush teeth, use dental chews, and select appropriate toys to reduce plaque buildup. Our team demonstrates techniques during wellness visits and recommends products like enzymatic toothpaste or water additives. Consistent at-home care complements professional cleanings to improve long-term oral health.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery to sterilize pets, reducing risks of cancers (e.g., mammary tumors), unwanted litters, and behavioral issues like roaming or aggression. Spay/neuter procedures are routine, low-risk surgeries with post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. We offer same-day or scheduled appointments based on your pet’s needs.

We remove Foreign Bodies ingested or lodged in your pet’s digestive tract or body cavities through surgical or endoscopic procedures. Common foreign bodies include bones, toys, or fabric, which can cause obstructions or perforations. Emergency surgeries are performed with imaging guidance to ensure safe and complete removal.

We repair Wounds & Lacerations with advanced suturing techniques, infection control, and pain management to promote healing. Whether from trauma, surgery, or accidents, we clean, disinfect, and close wounds using sterile protocols. Post-operative care instructions include monitoring for signs of infection and restricting activity to aid recovery.

We perform Bladder Stone Removal (cystotomy) for pets with urinary obstructions or infections caused by stones. Surgery involves extracting stones, analyzing their composition, and prescribing dietary changes to prevent recurrence. Pre-operative bloodwork and imaging guide the procedure, with post-operative monitoring to ensure urinary health.

We repair Cherry Eye (prolapsed gland of the third eyelid) through surgical repositioning of the gland to prevent recurrence. This common condition in dogs and cats is corrected with minimal discomfort, using techniques like pocketing or anchoring the gland. Post-operative care includes Elizabethan collars to prevent rubbing and promote healing.

We provide Emergency Stabilization for critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, or severe illness during our extended weekday hours (Monday–Saturday). Stabilization includes IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management to prepare pets for further treatment or referral to 24/7 emergency hospitals. We assess each case individually to determine the best course of action.

For pets requiring Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring, we offer intensive care for conditions like post-surgical recovery, chronic illnesses, or severe infections. Our team provides continuous observation, medication administration, and IV therapy in a controlled environment. For after-hours emergencies, we coordinate with nearby 24/7 hospitals to ensure uninterrupted care.

We administer Oxygen Therapy for pets with respiratory distress, heart conditions, or post-anesthetic recovery needs. Oxygen is delivered via cages or masks to improve oxygen saturation and reduce strain on the lungs. This therapy is critical during emergencies and monitored closely by our veterinary team to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Our IV Fluid Therapy supports hydration, electrolyte balance, and organ function for dehydrated or critically ill pets. Fluids are administered during hospitalization, post-surgery, or for conditions like kidney disease or shock. We tailor fluid types and rates to your pet’s specific needs, with continuous monitoring to prevent complications.

We provide Pain Management for pets undergoing surgery, recovering from injuries, or suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis. Our approach includes pharmaceuticals (e.g., NSAIDs, opioids), local anesthesia, and alternative therapies like cold laser therapy. Pain assessment and personalized plans ensure your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

We treat Poison & Toxin exposures through emergency protocols like induced vomiting, activated charcoal, or IV fluids to counteract toxins. Common toxins include chocolate, lilies, rodenticides, or household chemicals. Immediate action is critical; we assess symptoms, administer treatments, and may refer severe cases to 24/7 emergency hospitals for advanced care.

Our Medical Grooming services include sanitary shaves, nail trims, and ear cleaning for pets with medical needs or mobility issues. We provide gentle, therapeutic grooming to maintain hygiene, reduce infection risks, and improve comfort for senior or injured pets. Specialized tools and techniques ensure safety during the process.

We perform Sanitary Shaves to prevent urinary tract infections, fecal matting, or skin infections in pets with long hair or medical conditions. This grooming service is especially beneficial for senior pets, those with incontinence, or those recovering from surgery. We use clippers and conditioning sprays to keep your pet clean and comfortable.

Our Nail Trimming & Dremeling services maintain your pet’s nail health to prevent overgrowth, pain, or joint issues. We use precise techniques to avoid cutting the quick and provide dremeling (grinding) for safer, less stressful trims. Regular nail maintenance is included in wellness exams and recommended for pets with mobility concerns.

We perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve discomfort or infections caused by impacted anal glands in dogs and cats. This procedure is quick and performed during routine exams or when symptoms like scooting, licking, or swelling are observed. We provide guidance on home care and dietary adjustments to prevent future issues.
