Feline Vaccines -- We offer the following feline vaccines.

• Rabies -- is a virus that infects all mammals and is 100% fatal. Bats, skunks, and raccoons are the most commonly affected wild animals and cats are the most commonly infected domestic animals. Rabies is contagious to man, making it a public health disease. Most towns and municipalities require all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies.
• FVRCP 

• Feline Viral Rhinotacheitis -- is a herpes virus and infects the upper respiratory tract of cats of all ages. It can cause blisters and sores in the mouth and throat and increases a cat's susceptibility  to pneumonia.
• Calici Virus -- also infects the upper respiratory tract causing blisters and sores. Infected cats are unable to eat due to the pain from these sores and mortality can be over 50%, especially in younger kittens.
• Panleukopenia -- also called feline distemper, is a virus that infects cats of all ages. The disease affects all parts of the body, starting usually with a respiratory infection, followed by diarrhea, finally ending up infecting the brain that results in death. Mortality ranges from 50% in older cats to 100% in kittens.

• Feline Leukemia -- (FeLV) is a highly contagious virus between cats. Signs of the disease can be non-specific, showing up as respiratory infections, diarrhea, vomiting, or anemia. The virus is spread by direct contact and across the placenta from a queen to her kittens. Infected cats can be detected by taking a blood test which tests for the virus in the blood. Any kitten or cat that is coming from an unknown background should be tested for Feline Leukemia before entering the household, especially if there are already other cats in that household. If the test is negative, vaccination is recommended for all cats that are allowed to go outdoors and cats that live with other cats that go outdoors. Cats that link indoors exclusively are at lower risk as long as thy do not contact and infected cat in any other manner.
• Feline Infectious Peritonitis -- (FIP) is a viral infections which can infect cats of any age. Signs of the disease include pneumonia, diarrhea, vomiting, or ascites or hydrothorax (fluid in the abdomen or chest respectively). The virus is spread between cats by oral and nasal secretions. Like Feline Leukemia, cats that are allowed to go outdoors where they can contact other cats are most at risk.

Canine Vaccines -- We offer the following canine vaccines.

•  Rabies -- is a virus that infects all mammals and is 100% fatal. Bats, skunks, and raccoons are the most commonly affected wild animals and cats are the most commonly infected domestic animals. Rabies is contagious to man, making it a public health disease. Most towns and municipalities require all dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies.
• DHLP-P

• Distemper -- is a virus that infects dogs of all ages. The disease affects all parts of the body, starting with diarrhea, followed by respiratory infection, and ending up infecting the brain that results in death. Mortality ranges from 50% in older dogs to 100% in puppies. Distemper is usually spread from one dog to the next. However, raccoons can also be infected and spread the disease. Vaccination is very effective in preventing this disease.
• Hepatitis Virus -- affects the live function of dogs of all ages. It is transmitted from dog to dog. Dogs will present with signs of liver disease and it is very difficult to detect the virus. While it is less common that distemper, the hepatitis virus is also effectively prevented by vaccination.
• Leptospirosis -- or Lepto for short, is a bacterium that infects the kidneys and urinary tract. It is also transmissible to man, that makes it a public health concern. Vaccination effectively prevents this disease.
• Parainfluenza -- is a virus that infects the respiratory tract of dogs, causing the dog to cough and have mild cold symptoms. While not deadly by itself, Parainfluenza virus often leads to way more serious bacterial pneumonia.
• Parvovirus -- was first seen in dogs in 1979. It infects the intestinal tract causing a severe blood diarrhea. Mortality rate in dogs under 4 months of age is almost 100%. This virus, commonly seen in the dog population, and certain breeds seems to be more sensitive to infection that others. Annual vaccination is very effective in stopping the incidence of this disease.

• Corona Virus -- is a virus that also infects the intestinal tract of dogs. Young dogs are especially sensitive, exhibiting diarrhea when infected. The mortality from Corona virus is low, however, Corona Virus infection may predispose young dogs to Paravovirus.

• Bordetella -- is a bacterial infection of the respiratory tract, sometimes called kennel cough. It starts as a persistent cough and without treatment can develop into pneumonia with server coughing and depression. The spreading of kennel cough occurs by contact with an infected dog. Vaccinations, given intranasally, provide protections for your dog at the site of infection.
• Lyme Disease -- caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, is spread through a tick bite. Although treatable in its early stages, infections are difficult to diagnose, especially in the dog since hair on the body covers up the target-like skin lesion, and the respiratory signs are very non-specific. This organism causes a painful arthritis.

Spaying / Neutering / Declawing -- No pet goes under anesthesia without a complete physical exam and pre-operative blood tests. These are included with our routine packages. We also use gas anesthesia, cardiac monitoring and pain control medications on each and every case.

In-House Laboratory -- We have the ability to  run the following tests here at our facility: Serum Chemistries, CBC, urinalysis, Heartworm tests, FeLV/FIV tets, fecal exams, cytology, Parvoviral tests, ect.

Ultrasound Diagnostic -- We are the only facility in mid-missouri to offer outpatient ultrasound.

Surgery -- Our surgery suite is set up with gas anesthesia, cardiac monitoring and special illumination to provide aseptic, abdominal, and orthopedic surgery.

Dentistry -- We provide the latest Endodontics, Periodontics, and prophylactic dental care. We take your pets mouth and breath seriously!

Electrocardiography -- This branch of ultrasound allows us to"see" your pet's heart. This valuable tool gives us incredible information about the function of your pet's heart.

Electrocardiography (EKG) -- Just like in the human field, EKG's give us information about the electrical activity of your pet's heart.

AVID Microchip / Tattoo - Permanent identification for your pet.

Allergy Testing -- We utilize an in-vitro ELISA test system to diagnose specific allergies to fleas, molds, pollens, and mites.

Minimally Invasive Biopsies -- With local anesthesia and mild sedation we reduce the risk of internal organ biopsies by utilizing ultrasound guided biopsy techniques. 

Pharmacy -- So that you don't have to traverse the city, we have a complete pharmacy for your convenience.
