Truesdell Animal Care Hospital & Clinic

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams to assess your pet’s overall health, including age-specific evaluations. Our exams establish a baseline for wellness and help detect early signs of illness or disease. We tailor our approach based on your pet’s life stage—whether they’re a puppy, kitten, adult, or senior—to ensure customized care.

We offer specialized Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages designed to support healthy growth and development. These packages include wellness exams, vaccinations (core and lifestyle-based), deworming, microchipping, and nutritional counseling. We provide guidance on socialization, behavior, and future care plans tailored to your young pet’s needs.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care includes semi-annual comprehensive exams, bloodwork (CBC & Chemistry Panels), urinalysis, digital X-rays (Radiography), and glaucoma screening to monitor age-related conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cancer. We prioritize early detection and pain management to ensure your senior pet’s comfort and longevity.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvovirus to protect your pet from life-threatening diseases. These vaccines are essential for all pets, especially puppies and kittens, and we follow state-mandated schedules (e.g., rabies vaccination required by law in Wisconsin). We also provide booster shots as recommended.

We provide Heartworm Testing & Prevention through annual screenings and preventive medications. Heartworm disease can be fatal, so we recommend year-round prevention for dogs (and testing for cats) to safeguard their health. Our team will discuss the best preventive plan tailored to your pet’s needs.

We offer Flea & Tick Prevention programs to protect your pet from parasites that can cause discomfort, allergies, and serious diseases like Lyme disease. Our recommendations include topical treatments, oral medications, and environmental control strategies to ensure comprehensive protection.

We provide Microchipping & Registration as a permanent form of identification for your pet. Microchips are implanted during routine visits and store your contact information in national databases, increasing the chances of reunification if your pet is lost. We also educate clients on updating registration details to ensure accuracy.

Our team offers Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management services to help maintain your pet’s optimal health through diet and lifestyle adjustments. We provide personalized recommendations for commercial diets, homemade meals, and weight-loss plans, along with guidance on portion control and treats.

We perform Parasite Deworming to eliminate intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms, which are common in puppies and kittens. Fecal testing is conducted during wellness visits to identify infections, and we prescribe appropriate deworming protocols for treatment.

We provide Behavioral Counseling to address issues like aggression, anxiety, house soiling, and destructive behavior. While we are not certified behaviorists, our veterinarians assess underlying medical causes (e.g., thyroid disease, urinary tract infections) and offer behavior-modifying medications or referrals to certified trainers when needed.

Our clinic offers In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to monitor your pet’s organ function, detect infections, anemia, or metabolic diseases like diabetes. We provide rapid results during visits for timely diagnosis and treatment planning.

We conduct Urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and liver conditions. This non-invasive test is especially valuable for senior pets or those showing signs of discomfort (e.g., frequent urination, blood in urine).

We perform Fecal Testing to detect intestinal parasites, including giardia and coccidia, which can cause diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues. This test is often included in puppy/kitten wellness packages and recommended for pets with digestive symptoms.

Our clinic uses Digital X-Rays to diagnose conditions like fractures, bladder stones, tumors, heart disease, arthritis, and foreign objects. We offer same-day results for efficient treatment planning and can share images with specialists if needed.

We provide Ultrasound Imaging services through collaborations with visiting specialists to evaluate abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen), reproductive health, and cardiac function. While we refer complex cases externally, our team can perform initial assessments and coordinate referrals as needed.

Our Dental X-Rays service reveals hidden dental issues like root fractures, abscesses, or tooth resorption that aren’t visible during a visual exam. Anesthesia is used to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety while obtaining detailed images for accurate diagnosis.

We perform Tooth Extractions for severely decayed, fractured, or diseased teeth that cannot be saved. Our team uses advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery, often recommending extractions during dental cleanings when necessary.

We offer Oral Surgery for complex dental cases, including tooth extractions (e.g., multi-rooted teeth), crown amputations, and oral mass removals. These procedures are performed under general anesthesia with advanced equipment to ensure precision and comfort.

We provide Spay & Neuter Surgery as a routine procedure to prevent unwanted pregnancies, reduce cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), and improve behavioral outcomes. Pre-surgical bloodwork and wellness exams are required for all patients to ensure their safety during anesthesia.

We provide Foreign Body Removal for pets that ingest objects like bones, toys, or fabric, which can cause obstructions or perforations. Emergency evaluations are conducted using X-rays or ultrasounds to locate and safely remove the object, often requiring surgical intervention.

Our team repairs Wound & Laceration injuries with sutures, staples, or advanced wound management techniques. We clean and disinfect wounds to prevent infections and provide post-operative care instructions to promote healing.

We offer Emergency Stabilization services for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, or sudden illness. Our team provides immediate care—including IV fluids, oxygen therapy, and pain management—to stabilize your pet before further diagnostics or referrals to specialists.

We provide Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for pets requiring intensive care post-surgery, during chronic illness management, or after emergencies. Our AAHA-accredited facility offers round-the-clock supervision by trained staff to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.

We administer Oxygen Therapy for pets suffering from respiratory distress, heart disease, or post-anesthetic recovery. Oxygen cages or nasal catheters are used to deliver supplemental oxygen under veterinary supervision until your pet stabilizes.

Our IV Fluid Therapy service supports hydration and organ function in dehydrated, sick, or post-surgical pets. Fluids are administered through catheters to correct electrolyte imbalances, improve circulation, and aid recovery.

We prioritize Pain Management for all patients undergoing surgery, dental procedures, or chronic conditions like arthritis. Our team uses multimodal approaches—including medications, laser therapy, and acupuncture—to ensure your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

We offer Medical Grooming services such as sanitary shaves (for female pets post-spay or with urinary issues), nail trimming, and medically necessary haircuts. These procedures are performed by our staff to maintain hygiene and prevent infections.

We provide Anal Gland Expression for pets experiencing discomfort due to impacted anal glands. This procedure is performed during wellness visits or as needed to relieve pain, scooting, or licking behaviors associated with gland issues.

We provide Cold Laser Therapy as a non-invasive treatment to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate healing for conditions like arthritis, surgical incisions, and chronic ear infections. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation services include hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), massage therapy, and chiropractic adjustments to improve mobility in pets recovering from surgery or managing chronic pain. We work with specialists to create tailored rehabilitation plans.

We provide Quality of Life Assessments for senior or chronically ill pets to evaluate their comfort, mobility, appetite, and pain levels. This holistic approach helps guide decisions about treatment options and end-of-life care in collaboration with pet owners.
