Wickiup Animal Hospital

We provide thorough nose-to-tail physical examinations during every wellness visit to detect early signs of illness, monitor overall health, and tailor preventative care plans for your pet. Our Fear Free Certified approach ensures a low-stress experience.

We offer tailored wellness packages for puppies and kittens, including core vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo), parasite prevention, spay/neuter consultations, and nutritional guidance to set your young pet up for a lifetime of health.

We specialize in senior pet care with comprehensive exams, bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels), and early detection strategies to address age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, or diabetes. Senior wellness visits are key to extending your pet’s golden years.

We provide all core vaccinations as recommended by the American Animal Hospital Association, including Rabies (mandatory in Oregon), Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus for dogs. For cats, we offer FRCP (Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) and Rabies vaccines.

While Deschutes County has low heartworm risk, we still recommend annual testing for traveling pets. We provide year-round prevention with medications like Interceptor to protect your pet from this deadly parasite.

We offer Bravecto (oral chew or topical) and other preventatives for flea and tick control, tailored to your pet’s lifestyle. Ticks in the area pose risks for Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis—prevention is critical.

We provide personalized nutrition consultations to address dietary needs for all life stages, from puppy/kitten growth to senior weight management. Diet plays a key role in preventing obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, and allergies.

Deschutes County is high-risk for intestinal parasites like hookworms, roundworms, and giardia. We perform fecal testing annually and prescribe dewormers such as Interceptor or Profender to keep your pet parasite-free.

We offer in-house bloodwork to monitor organ function, detect early diseases (e.g., kidney/liver issues), and guide treatment plans. Advanced cases are sent to specialized labs like Idexx for faster results.

We perform urinalysis as part of diagnostics to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, or crystals. Early detection helps prevent painful conditions and organ damage.

Annual fecal testing is critical in our area due to high parasite risks. We test for intestinal worms (roundworms, hookworms) and protozoa like giardia to tailor deworming protocols.

Our clinic is equipped with digital radiography for diagnosing fractures, dental disease, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. X-rays are often used pre-surgery or to monitor chronic diseases.

Our dental cleanings include digital dental X-rays to detect hidden issues like root infections, fractures, or tooth resorption. This guides safe extractions and ensures complete oral health.

We perform tooth extractions for diseased or broken teeth under general anesthesia in our sterile surgical suite. Early intervention prevents pain, infection, and more complex oral surgery later.

We treat periodontal disease with deep cleanings, root planing, and antibiotics to restore gum health. Advanced cases may require extractions or at-home dental care education.

We educate pet owners on at-home dental care, including tooth brushing techniques, dental diets, and water additives to complement professional cleanings and reduce plaque buildup.

Our surgical suite performs spay/neuter procedures with advanced monitoring (IV fluids, pain management) for a safe recovery. We recommend these surgeries to prevent cancers, infections, and unwanted litters.

We use X-rays and surgery to remove ingested objects (e.g., bones, toys) or foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract. Early intervention prevents perforations or obstructions.

We treat wounds and lacerations with sutures, antibiotics, and pain management. Our surgical team ensures proper healing to prevent infections or complications.

We provide hospitalization for post-surgical patients or those requiring IV fluids, pain management, or close monitoring. Our team adjusts care plans based on real-time vitals (heart rate, oxygen levels).

We administer IV fluids during surgeries or for dehydrated patients to maintain hydration, blood pressure, and organ function. Fluids are also used for emergency stabilization.

Our pain management protocols include pre-emptive analgesia (for surgeries), oral/transdermal medications, and post-op monitoring to ensure your pet’s comfort and rapid recovery.

We treat toxin exposures (e.g., chocolate, lilies, rodenticides) with IV fluids, activated charcoal, and supportive care. Early intervention is critical—contact us immediately if you suspect poisoning.

We provide nail trims and dremeling during wellness visits or as needed to prevent overgrowth, pain, or fractures. Proper nail care is essential for mobility and comfort.

We provide acupuncture for pain relief, post-surgical recovery, anxiety reduction, and chronic conditions like arthritis. This complementary therapy often reduces reliance on medications.

We use tools like the Lap of Love Quality of Life Scale to help pet owners assess comfort, mobility, and happiness during end-of-life decisions. Our team provides compassionate guidance tailored to your pet’s needs.

For pets where in-clinic visits are stressful, we coordinate mobile euthanasia services to provide a peaceful goodbye in the comfort of your home.
