Dental Care for Your Pet - How to Keep that Healthy Smile!

Pets, especially dogs and cats, are prone to dental diseases, including periodontal issues that can lead to various health complications. Up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats can develop dental problems by the age of three without proper care. Periodontal disease, caused by plaque, can result in painful symptoms, infections, and even organ damage.

Prevention is key, starting with annual dental cleanings from age one, along with a good home care regimen. Regular brushing using pet-specific products, and incorporating dental diets, can significantly help. Look out for signs of poor dental health, such as bad breath, visible tartar, or difficulty eating. Broken teeth require immediate attention, often through root canals or extractions.

While dental cleanings may seem like an extra expense, they are crucial for maintaining your pet's overall health. Anesthesia is typically necessary during these cleanings to ensure a thorough and safe procedure. Your vet may suggest pre-anesthetic testing to ensure your pet's readiness for the process.

When it comes to diagnosing your pet, we rely on a combination of X-rays and ultrasound to comprehensively assess their health. X-rays help us identify issues, rule out potential problems, and anticipate various causes, while ultrasound provides valuable insights into soft tissue and internal organ structures.

These imaging techniques aid in examining your pet's bones, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, heart, genitourinary system, and soft tissues, ensuring a thorough evaluation. With our state-of-the-art digital radiology, we can swiftly diagnose your pet's condition with minimal radiation exposure. However, achieving clear images often requires pets to remain still, occasionally necessitating sedation or brief anesthesia.

If you have any questions about our Radiology and Ultrasound Services, don't hesitate to ask our knowledgeable staff or veterinarians.

Our hospital offers Endoscopy Services, a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure using a camera-equipped tube to assess organ surfaces. It's particularly helpful for gastrointestinal disorders. Common procedures include examining the nasal passages, esophagus, stomach, colon, airways, ear canals, bladder, joints, abdominal cavity, and chest. Consult your vet to see if endoscopy is right for your pet.

Orthopedic surgeries in pets are essential for addressing various musculoskeletal issues, including ligament tears and bone fractures. One common procedure is the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), which is frequently performed to stabilise the knee joint in dogs suffering from cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries. Additionally, fracture repairs are crucial in restoring mobility and reducing pain in pets with broken bones. At Sullivan Animal Hospital, we have a board-certified specialist surgeon on staff who is equipped to perform these complex surgeries with precision and care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
