Animal Hospital of Ashwaubenon: Barker Terry DVM

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes. Our exams include a nose-to-tail assessment of body condition, eyes, ears, mouth, internal organs, and skin to detect early signs of illness and ensure optimal health. We also discuss personalized care recommendations, including dental cleanings and diagnostic testing, to maintain your pet’s well-being.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to give your new pet the best start in life. During their first visit, we conduct a physical exam, develop a tailored vaccine schedule, discuss dietary needs, and create a parasite prevention plan. We also emphasize the importance of spay/neuter and microchipping to ensure a healthy and happy transition into pet ownership.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes more frequent exams to detect age-related issues early. We assess body condition, mobility, and organ function, and recommend adjustments to diet, exercise, and healthcare as your pet matures. If signs of pain or discomfort (e.g., difficulty moving, reluctance to be touched) are observed, we diagnose the cause and provide appropriate treatment to improve quality of life.

We provide essential Core Vaccinations for dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus) and cats (rabies, FVRCP) to protect against common and often fatal diseases. Our team tailors vaccine schedules based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and environment, ensuring comprehensive protection while addressing any concerns about side effects.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual blood tests and year-round preventive medications (oral, topical, or injectable). Early detection and prevention are critical, as heartworm disease can be fatal. Our team helps you choose the most effective prevention method tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and environment.

Our Flea & Tick Prevention services include year-round parasite control with monthly oral medications, topical treatments, or injectable options. During annual exams, we perform fecal and blood tests to detect parasites early, even if no symptoms are visible. We’ll work with you to select the best prevention plan for your pet’s needs.

We offer Microchipping & Registration as a safe and permanent way to identify your pet. Microchips are implanted quickly and painlessly, with registration linking your contact information to the chip. We recommend pairing this with an ID tag for added security, ensuring your pet can be returned if lost.

Our Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services include personalized diet plans based on your pet’s age, breed, activity level, and health status. During exams, we assess body condition and provide guidance on portion control, feeding strategies, and nutrient needs to maintain a healthy weight and overall well-being.

We perform Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) through fecal testing and targeted treatments to eliminate worms like roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. Even pets on prevention may need deworming, as tests can detect parasites before symptoms appear. Our team develops a customized prevention plan to keep your pet parasite-free.

Our clinic offers In-House Bloodwork, including CBC (Complete Blood Count) and Chemistry Panels, to diagnose illnesses, monitor chronic conditions, and assess organ function. Our state-of-the-art lab provides quick and accurate results, allowing us to begin treatment promptly and keep your pet’s healthcare proactive.

We provide Urinalysis to detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other conditions. This diagnostic tool helps us monitor your pet’s health and catch issues early. Results guide treatment plans to ensure your pet’s urinary system remains healthy and functioning optimally.

Our Fecal Testing service screens for intestinal parasites like worms, giardia, and coccidia, even in asymptomatic pets. Annual testing is recommended for all pets on prevention plans. Early detection allows us to treat infections promptly and prevent complications for your pet and household.

We use Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, dental disease, heart/lung conditions, and abdominal issues. Our advanced imaging provides clear, painless insights into your pet’s internal structures, enabling early detection of problems like tumors, organ enlargement, or urinary bladder stones.

Our Ultrasound Imaging service evaluates internal organs (heart, liver, kidneys, reproductive system) in real-time using sound waves. This noninvasive tool helps detect tumors, pregnancy, bladder stones, and other conditions. Ultrasounds guide treatment decisions and monitor chronic diseases effectively.

Our Dental X-Rays reveal hidden dental issues like root infections, fractures, or bone loss beneath the gumline. These radiographs guide treatment plans, such as extractions or periodontal therapy, ensuring comprehensive care. Early detection prevents irreversible damage and costly surgeries.

We perform Tooth Extractions when necessary to relieve pain from infected, broken, or severely decayed teeth. Our team explains the procedure, provides postoperative care instructions, and ensures your pet’s comfort during recovery. Extractions are recommended only when they improve your pet’s quality of life.

Our Spay & Neuter Surgery services reduce the risk of cancers, infections, and unwanted litters. We use safe anesthesia protocols and advanced monitoring to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. Pre-surgical consultations address your concerns, and postoperative care instructions promote a smooth recovery.

We provide Emergency Stabilization during urgent care visits (within hospital hours) to treat injuries or illnesses like trauma, poisoning, or sudden illness. Our team assesses vital signs, administers fluids, medications, or oxygen, and stabilizes your pet for further care. For after-hours emergencies, we refer to trusted 24-hour clinics.

We offer Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care, such as post-surgery recovery, chronic illnesses, or severe injuries. Our team provides round-the-clock observation, IV fluids, pain management, and adjustments to treatment plans to ensure your pet’s comfort and recovery.

Our Pain Management services include medications, laser therapy, and acupuncture to alleviate discomfort from surgery, arthritis, or chronic conditions. We tailor pain relief plans to your pet’s needs, monitoring their response closely to ensure safety and effectiveness.

We provide Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling while promoting healing for conditions like osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries, and chronic wounds. This drug-free, non-invasive treatment requires no sedation and is often combined with other therapies for enhanced results. Improvement is typically seen within days.
