Arlington Emergency Animal Clinic Care Knows the Difference

Posted on 2011-09-07 20:11:39

When considering the various situations that can result in an immediate rush to our Arlington emergency animal clinic, many pet owners may tend to think in terms of automobile accidents, snakebites, choking, food poisoning or some other form of direct physical trauma. However, in most cases, a visit to our emergency animal clinic is more likely to involve a different type of emergency.

Our Arlington Animal Hospital accepts emergency pet issues during office hours and has a referral page for after hours emergencies. We are here to help protect and heal your pet. Any emergency can be serious. Seeking immediate emergency pet care may be the most important thing you ever do for the sake of your animal friend.

But, as to the most common emergency needs seen by veterinarians, learn to think along the lines of the unexpected.

Most Urgent Situations Faced by an Emergency Pet Hospital

Our experienced veterinarians deal with every emergency pet hospital need that may arise. We also have the advanced technology and the skills to handle the three most urgent emergencies seen by veterinarians:

Ruptured bleeding splenic tumors: Bloodwork seldom detects silent tumors of the spleen. This complication often goes unnoticed because the pet owner fails to ensure that the animal receives routine physical checkups.

Urethral Obstruction: Pay attention to your cat's urinary pattern. Frequent visits to the litter box that result in meowing, straining and perhaps even blood in the urine indicate an emergency situation. Be quick to get veterinarian services for this pet.

GDV – Bloat in dogs. Common to dogs with deep chests, this emergency is a surgical crisis. The animal’s stomach physically rotates on itself. Restricted blood flow, hypoxia, oxygen damage to the tissues and death linger in its wake. Correcting this complication will require dog boarding.

Did that catch you off guard? Not us. The caregivers here at Gully Animal Hospital in Arlington, Texas know the things most risky for your pet. More importantly, we know how to prevent them from occurring.

Professional Grooming is Essential to a Dog’s Health

Posted on 2011-08-22 23:06:13

Dog grooming is not just about tying cute bows into long hair or doing fancy poodle trims. It is about providing an essential service that will help maintain the health and wellness of your pet. At Gully Animal Hospital in Arlington, our dog groomers can handle any grooming issues your pet may require.

Dog Grooming at Our Animal Vet Clinic in Arlington

While you should certainly be brushing your dog on a regular basis, grooming goes beyond a simple brush. Our professional groomers will thoroughly bathe your pet and then work to remove any matted fur, fleas, ticks, or shedding undercoat. They will also trim your pet's nails and carefully inspect paws for debris or injury.

Our groomers can handle any size of dog; we know that sometimes it is the smallest or the largest dogs that can be the most difficult. We have the facilities at our veterinary hospital to handle any dog with gentle, loving care.

When the warm weather arrives, we can give your dog a trim or clip to help it stay cooler in the heat. If you go on vacation and utilize the pet boarding service at our veterinary hospital, then we can have your pet shampooed, groomed, and ready to go when you return. Combine grooming with your pet's regular check up with our veterinarian and you can take care of several visits worth of services while you are away.

Grooming your dog to keep it tidy looking is fine, but it is also an important step in keeping the animal healthy. Regular brushing helps keep the coat healthy, and groomers can identify any issues with teeth, nails, ears, skin or fur, before they become serious. Our groomers work with the veterinarian to ensure that any issues are promptly addressed. Our veterinarian can also advise you on how often you should have your particular pet groomed.
