Leesburg Veterinary Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for your pet, assessing health from nose to tail, including skin, eyes, ears, heart, lungs, and oral health. These exams help detect early signs of illness and ensure preventative care is tailored to your pet’s needs. Annual exams are recommended, with twice-yearly visits for senior pets (generally 7+ years).

We specialize in Senior Pet Wellness Care, offering tailored exams, diagnostics (bloodwork, urinalysis), and personalized guidance for pets aged 7+. Senior wellness includes early detection of age-related conditions and customized care plans to maintain comfort and vitality. Senior pets often require more frequent monitoring, so we recommend semi-annual visits.

We provide Core Vaccinations, including Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo vaccines for dogs, and Rabies and FVRCP (distemper-parvo-calici-rhinotracheitis) for cats. These are essential for preventing serious diseases. Vaccination schedules are tailored to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure optimal protection. Call us for updates during your pet’s wellness exam.

We offer Heartworm Testing & Prevention, a critical service to protect your dog or cat from this potentially fatal parasitic disease spread by mosquitoes. Annual testing is recommended for early detection, and we provide year-round preventative medications to ensure your pet’s safety. Cats may also be at risk, so we’re happy to discuss screening options for them, too.

We provide Flea & Tick Prevention treatments to safeguard your pet from parasites that cause irritation, skin infections, and serious diseases like Lyme. Our prevention plans include oral and topical medications tailored to your pet’s size, breed, and exposure risk. Regular prevention is key to breaking the parasite life cycle and protecting your home.

Microchipping & Registration is an essential service we offer to ensure your pet can be identified if lost. We implant a tiny, secure microchip under the skin and register your contact information in a national database. The procedure is quick, painless, and can be done during a wellness visit. Keep your registration updated to maximize its effectiveness!

We provide Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management to help your pet maintain a healthy diet and weight, reducing risks of diabetes, arthritis, and other diet-related conditions. Our team assesses your pet’s caloric needs, activity level, and potential food sensitivities, and recommends balanced diets or weight-loss plans. We partner with pet nutritionists for specialized support when needed.

Parasite Deworming is included in our diagnostic and preventative care services. We test for and treat intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, hookworms) using safe, prescribed medications during wellness visits. Deworming recommendations are based on your pet’s age, exposure risk (e.g., hunting, outdoor access), and fecal testing results. Bring a fresh stool sample during your exam for testing!

We perform In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor your pet’s organ function, detect early signs of disease (e.g., kidney issues, diabetes), and ensure they’re healthy for procedures like surgery. Bloodwork is recommended annually for adult pets and biannually for seniors. We also offer urinalysis and fecal testing for comprehensive diagnostics.

Available alongside our In-House Bloodwork, we conduct Urinalysis to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other conditions. Urinalysis is particularly important for older pets or those showing signs of discomfort (e.g., frequent urination, blood in urine). Testing is quick and can be discussed during wellness visits or diagnostic exams. Ask us about adding it to your pet’s visit!

Fecal Testing is a simple, crucial service we offer to detect intestinal parasites and assess your pet’s digestive health. During wellness visits, bring a small, fresh stool sample in a sealed bag. Testing identifies parasites like giardia, coccidia, or worm eggs, allowing us to prescribe targeted treatment and prevent zoonotic risks. It’s especially important for puppies, kittens, and pets with loose stools.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) for diagnostic imaging to identify fractures, heart or lung conditions, dental issues, and abdominal concerns. X-rays help us pinpoint the cause of symptoms like limping, coughing, or unexplained weight loss. With quick results and digital technology, we ensure precise diagnoses and tailored treatment plans. Request x-rays during illness exams or presurgical assessments.

During Professional Dental Cleaning, we perform Dental X-Rays to assess the health of your pet’s teeth roots and jaw. Dental x-rays help us identify hidden problems like fractures, abscesses, or early-stage dental disease that aren’t visible during a visual exam alone. These are performed safely under anesthesia as part of our comprehensive dental care service.

We perform Tooth Extractions for pets with severe dental disease, broken teeth, or persistent oral pain. Extractions are done under anesthesia during dental cleanings whenever possible. Our veterinarians prioritize your pet’s comfort, using techniques like root-tip removal and sutures to ensure optimal healing. We’ll always recommend the least invasive solution to preserve your pet’s oral health.

Oral Surgery is available for complex dental cases, such as fractured jaws, advanced periodontal disease, or tooth root resection. Procedures are performed by our skilled team in our surgical suite with full anesthesia monitoring. We also collaborate with dental specialists within the Thrive Pet Healthcare network for cases requiring advanced expertise or equipment.

We treat Periodontal Disease through professional cleanings, scaling, root planing, and, if needed, Tooth Extractions or Oral Surgery. Periodontal disease can lead to severe pain, tooth loss, and even systemic issues like heart disease. Early detection during wellness exams or dental cleanings is critical. We also provide guidance on At-Home Dental Care Education to slow disease progression between visits.

At-Home Dental Care Education is a key part of our dental services, where we teach you how to brush your pet’s teeth, use dental wipes, and select appropriate dental treats/toys to maintain oral health between professional cleanings. We provide tailored tips and products (e.g., enzymatic toothpastes, veterinary-approved chews) to support your pet’s daily dental hygiene.

We offer Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine service to prevent unintended litters and reduce health risks, including cancers and infections. Procedures are performed safely in our surgical suite, with pre-op diagnostics to ensure your pet’s overall health. Spay/neuter is recommended for pets not used for breeding, typically from 4–6 months of age (though we tailor timing to individual needs).

Foreign Body Removal is a critical emergency and surgical service for pets that ingest objects (e.g., bones, toys, string). Using diagnostics like Digital X-Rays or ultrasounds, our team locates and safely removes the object via endoscopy or surgery to prevent obstructions or perforations. Prompt action is essential to avoid life-threatening complications.

We perform C-Section (Cesarean Section) surgeries when natural birth is unsafe due to dystocia (obstructed labor), small litters, or maternal health concerns. Our team monitors pregnancy closely and uses our surgical suite for a safe delivery. Puppies/kittens are immediately cared for by our staff to ensure their health, and post-op treatment ensures a smooth recovery for the mother.

Wound & Laceration Repair is performed for bites, cuts, or trauma using advanced suturing techniques and, when needed, Laser Surgery (if available). We clean and disinfect wounds, manage pain, and monitor healing closely. For complex injuries, we may refer to emergency care for 24/7 support or collaborate with specialists for optimal outcomes.

Bladder Stone Removal is a surgical intervention for pets with urinary obstruction or discomfort from bladder stones. We use pre-op diagnostics (e.g., Digital X-Rays, ultrasounds) to confirm the diagnosis before performing cystotomy surgery in our sterile surgical suite. Post-op care includes medication to prevent recurrence and pain management.

Emergency Stabilization is our immediate response to critical conditions like poisoning, trauma, or severe illness. Our team provides IV fluid therapy, blood transfusions, oxygen therapy, and wound care to stabilize your pet before transferring to our 24-Hour Monitoring facility or an emergency hospital if needed. Prompt action improves outcomes, so contact us immediately for emergencies.

Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring is available for pets requiring intensive post-surgical care, chronic conditions, or recovery from trauma. Our ICU-like care includes pain management, frequent vitals monitoring, IV fluids, and specialized diets. We also offer Oxygen Therapy for respiratory distress and keep your pet comfortable in a calm setting with continuous attention from our staff.

Oxygen Therapy is administered when your pet experiences respiratory distress (e.g., post-anesthesia, congestive heart failure, or smoking-related lung disease). We provide controlled oxygen delivery in our monitored care areas or during hospitalization. Therapy helps improve oxygenation, reduce stress, and support recovery while we address the underlying cause.

IV Fluid Therapy is crucial for dehydrated, sick, or post-surgical pets to restore hydration, deliver medications, and support organ function. Our team monitors fluid balance closely, adjusting rates for conditions like kidney disease or shock. IV therapy is often part of Emergency Stabilization or Hospitalization, ensuring your pet receives targeted, life-sustaining care.

Pain Management is integrated into every surgical, dental, and chronic pain case at our clinic. We use a multimodal approach, including prescription medications, laser therapy (if available), and complementary treatments like Acupuncture. Post-op care includes personalized pain relief plans with follow-up assessments to ensure your pet’s comfort during recovery.

Poison & Toxin Treatment involves prompt diagnosis and intervention for ingestions (e.g., chocolate, lilies, human medications) or exposures to chemicals. Our team uses activated charcoal, IV fluids, and supportive care to counteract toxins. In severe cases, we may induce vomiting or refer to an emergency hospital for advanced detoxification. Never wait—contact us immediately if poisoning is suspected.

Medical Grooming services include Sanitary Shave, Nail Trimming & Dremeling, Medicated Baths, and Ear Cleaning/Plucking for pets with skin conditions, mats, or ear infections. Our groomers work closely with our medical team to ensure safe, therapeutic grooming tailored to your pet’s health needs, including gentle handling for anxious or sensitive pets.

Sanitary Shave is provided for pets with thick coats, skin folds, or medical conditions (e.g., yeast infections, wound care) that require hair removal around the posterior or other areas. We use precise techniques to maintain skin integrity and prevent irritation. This service is often recommended for diabetic pets, elderly dogs, or those with chronic skin issues.

Nail Trimming & Dremeling is a standard grooming service we offer to prevent overgrown nails, which can cause pain, joint issues, or even fractures. We provide safe, gentle trimming and use a dremel for anxious pets or those with thick nails. Nail trims are often bundled with wellness visits—take advantage of our Thrive Plus Membership for discounted rates (e.g., $5 nail trims for members!).

Anal Gland Expression is performed for pets with impacted or abscessed anal glands, which can cause pain, scooting, or foul odors. Our technicians use sterile techniques and pain management to express these glands, followed by guidance to prevent future impaction. Chronic issues may require dietary changes or further veterinary evaluation.

Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation is available for pets recovering from orthopedic surgery, injury, or chronic conditions like arthritis. Our rehabilitation programs include Hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), Massage Therapy, and targeted exercises to restore mobility and reduce pain. Each plan is customized based on your pet’s needs, with progress monitored by our rehab specialists.

Hydrotherapy uses an underwater treadmill to provide low-impact exercise for pets with joint issues, post-surgical recovery, or obesity. The buoyant water supports weight-bearing without stressing muscles or ligaments, improving mobility and strength. Sessions are tailored by our Physical Therapy team and are especially beneficial for pets with hip dysplasia, cruciate injuries, or senior mobility concerns.

Massage Therapy is offered to enhance recovery, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation for pets undergoing Physical Therapy, post-surgery, or chronic pain management. Our certified veterinarians or technicians use gentle techniques to relieve stiffness and promote healing. Massage can also help anxious pets by decreasing overall stress levels.

Quality of Life Assessment is a compassionate service we offer to help determine your pet’s comfort and well-being, especially in their senior years or during end-of-life care. We evaluate factors like mobility, appetite, pain levels, and joy to guide you in making informed decisions about their care. These assessments are part of our End-Of-Life Care discussions and aim to ensure your pet lives with dignity.

We provide At-Home Euthanasia Referrals through trusted mobile veterinary services to offer a more personal farewell for your pet in the comfort of their home environment. Our team coordinates with specialists to ensure the procedure is performed with compassion and professionalism. While we perform in-clinic euthanasia, we understand the value of home for these emotional moments and can guide you through referral options.

Telemedicine Consultations allow you to virtually meet with our veterinarians for non-emergency concerns, refill-requests, or post-visit check-ins. Using our secure platform, you can discuss symptoms, receive health tips, or get second opinions on diagnoses. Telemedicine reduces in-clinic wait times and ensures continuity of care, especially for minor issues or follow-ups.
