Advanced Care

Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from routine to advanced procedures and treatments.

Although we handle the majority of your pet’s medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial. Below you will find a list of treatments that we currently offer in-house.

Pocket Pets

Pocket pets refer to smaller household pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, mice, rats, gerbils, and hedgehogs. Each pet is different and requires different care. We will guide you in your pet’s care, provide helpful tips for keeping your pet safe and offer treatments (such as vaccination, parasite screening, and spay/neuter) to keep your pet healthy.

Veterinary Internal Medicine

Internal medicine veterinarians are qualified to perform advanced diagnostic services and create treatment plans for illnesses related to the internal body systems of animals. Our team will help diagnose and treat conditions of the GI system, kidneys, liver, heart, nervous system, endocrine glands, bladder, and respiratory systems. We also treat cancers, blood disorders, immune deficiencies, and infectious diseases.

Pain Management

Our veterinarians are committed to pinpointing the source of your pet's discomfort and helping you understand how to identify signs of pain as animals instinctively hide pain from humans. Pain management is one of our primary considerations when treating a pet for any medical condition.

Cardiology

Veterinary cardiology is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular disease in pets. If your furry friend is exhibiting signs such as rapid breathing, coughing, reduced appetite, fatigue, weakness, or difficulty exercising, call our team to schedule a vsisit to our hospital to see if there is a cardiac-related issue going on.

Oncology

A cancer diagnosis for your pet can be scary. Our veterinary oncology team is here to help guide you in finding the right treatment for your pet. We have extensive experience in treating pet cancers (and almost every pet can be helped to some degree!) For some pets, that may mean a cure; for others, we focus on palliative treatments that provide an improved quality of life.

Ophthalmology

If you are concerned about your pet’s eyes or vision, we can help. Our team diagnoses and treats a variety of ophthalmological issues, including but not limited to, dry eyes, cataracts, corneal infection or trauma, and glaucoma. It is important to report any changes in your pet’s eyes or vision during their routine veterinary visits.

Orthopedics

Veterinary orthopedics addresses injuries of your pet's skeletal system, muscles, joints, and ligaments. Through physical exams, lab tests, and X-rays, we identify the cause of pain or the extent of any injury or illness. This allows us to tailor a treatment plan to keep your pet active and well.

OFA Certification

Hip and elbow dysplasia is a common condition that affects dogs and can cause debilitating and painful conditions for your pet. OFA Hip & Elbow evaluation/certification helps pet owners and breeders to evaluate the hip joint before breeding. We strongly recommend OFA Hip & Elbow certification before breeding a female, before the purchase of a puppy, and/or to evaluate your pet's hip condition.

Endocrinology

Endocrinology is focused on the key glands of your pet's endocrine system: the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries, and testes. Releasing hormones directly into the bloodstream, they orchestrate the regulation of essential bodily functions. Early detection of disorders within your pet's endocrine system is crucial to allow proper treatment to begin.

Health Certificates

Many of our clients travel with their pets, even when going abroad. Often they’ll need a health certificate to accompany their pet. You will want to make sure you know the requirements of the carrier and/or destination, and then plan ahead: make your appointment with the USDA (if required), have your pet’s vaccinations and tests performed in the appropriate time frame, and schedule your appointment appropriately.

Pet Hospice & Euthanasia

Choosing hospice care or euthanasia for your pet is deeply personal, yet you're not alone in making that tough decision. If your pet is sick, aging, or terminally ill and you're concerned about their suffering, please reach out to us to learn more about our hospice care services and humane euthanasia. We're here to support and guide you through this process with care.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is often used in conjunction with physical therapy or rehab and is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment that helps to reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and aid in healing. Laser therapy is good for post-surgical patients, chronic arthritis, skin conditions, muscle strains and sprains, joint or disc disease, wounds, bites, and burns.

Regenerative Medicine

As pets age, arthritis can become a common issue, impacting their mobility and quality of life. Regenerative medicine, such as Canine Platelet Enhancement Therapy (C-PET), is a modern, minimally invasive treatment options that utilizes platelet-rich plasma derived from your pet’s own blood. It hastens healing, alleviates joint pain from osteoarthritis, and slows down the disease's progression.

Behavior Therapy

We offer behaviorial counseling for pets spanning a variety of unwanted behaviors, such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, or aggression. Behavioral problems can be challenging and frustrating for both pets and pet owners, so it is our goal to work diligently with you towards a solution.

Rabbit Care

Rabbits require special care and are susceptible to a variety of diseases and conditions, including overgrown teeth, hairballs, parasites, and cancer. Because they tend to hide signs of illness or pain, we suggest bringing your furry friend in for regular dental check-ups and having them spayed or neutered. Count on our team to provide comprehensive care for your rabbit.

Snake Avoidance Training

Tickle Blagg Animal Hospital is proud to offer Snake Avoidance Training with the help of Winter Kennels. We also offer Rattlesnake Vaccination for those dogs that would have higher exposure to snakes such as those who hunt, hike with owners, or even spend time at the river. The combination of vaccination and training will not keep your pet from reacting to venom if bit but will give your dog the best chance at a fast recovery. Click to learn more.
