Conditions Treated

Routine examinations and vaccinations are part of being a pet owner, but did you know that a veterinarian can help with unexpected health issues? At Ashworth Road Animal Hospital in West Des Moines, IA, we can also offer pet care for families in Windsor Heights, IA, Clive, IA, and Urbandale, IA. Here are some of the conditions we may treat in dogs, cats, reptiles and other pets.

Pet Care for Vomiting and Diarrhea

Vomiting and diarrhea are symptoms of an underlying issue, such as gastrointestinal upset. These two symptoms are caused by a range of issues. Your pet may have ingested something, be stressed, or have a viral or bacterial infection. Food sensitivities and allergies are two other potential reasons why your pet is having problems with keeping food down and eliminating properly. As part of our veterinary services, we can help determine why your pet is having problems, and we may recommend medication, surgery, and other treatments to help your pet feel better.

Veterinary Care for Urinary Tract Infections

Pets are prone to urinary tract infections. Blood in the urine and painful urination are two other signs of problems. It can be important to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Urinary tract infections can be quite painful and harmful to your pet.

Our Veterinarians Treat Allergies

A veterinarian at our animal hospital can help determine the source of the allergies, prescribe medications, and recommend ways to reduce allergy triggers.

Arthritis Treatments for Older Pets

Arthritis is a debilitating condition that affects your pet’s quality of life, and a veterinarian at our animal hospital can help. Anti-inflammatory medications help to reduce swelling in the joint, and supplements might help the joint work better. Certain breeds and species might be more prone to arthritis, and we can recommend supplements as part of a preventive pet care plan.
