Dermatology and Skin Care

Skin conditions are among the most common reasons pets visit a veterinarian. Allergies, infections, parasitic infestations, and hormonal imbalances can all affect your pet's skin and coat. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we perform thorough skin assessments using tools including skin scraping, cytology, and allergy evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your pet's discomfort. We develop individualized care plans that may include topical care, dietary adjustments, or ongoing management for chronic skin conditions. Our goal is to relieve your pet's discomfort and support lasting skin health.

Ear and Eye Infection Care

Ear and eye infections are common in dogs and cats and can cause significant discomfort if left unaddressed. Ear infections may present as head shaking, scratching at the ears, odor, or discharge. Eye infections can cause redness, swelling, discharge, or sensitivity to light. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we assess the affected area, identify the organism involved, and develop an appropriate care plan. Early attention to these conditions helps prevent complications and reduces your pet's discomfort.

Gastrointestinal Care

Digestive issues including vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and loss of appetite are among the most frequent concerns pet owners bring to us. These signs can stem from dietary changes, parasites, infections, inflammatory conditions, or systemic health issues. Apollo Animal Hospital offers a thorough gastrointestinal assessment using in-house diagnostics including blood work, fecal testing, and imaging to pinpoint the cause. We then build a care plan suited to your pet's specific condition, age, and overall health status.

Cardiology and Heart Health

Heart disease in dogs and cats can be managed effectively when caught early. Signs to watch for include coughing, reduced exercise tolerance, labored breathing, and weakness. At Apollo Animal Hospital, our team performs cardiac assessments including auscultation and, where indicated, referral for echocardiography. We manage conditions such as congestive heart failure, heart murmurs, and heartworm-related heart disease through ongoing monitoring and individualized care plans. If your pet requires specialist-level cardiac evaluation, we can coordinate a referral.

Pain Management

Chronic and acute pain in pets can significantly affect their quality of life. Pets experiencing pain may become withdrawn, reluctant to move, lose interest in food, or show changes in behavior. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we take a multimodal approach to pain management, considering the source of discomfort and your pet's overall health before recommending a plan. We do not rely on any single approach. Options may include veterinary-grade products, physical rehabilitation guidance, weight management, and in some cases, referral to a specialist.

Endocrine Disease Management

Endocrine conditions including Addison disease, Cushing disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism are common in middle-aged and senior dogs and cats. These conditions affect the body's hormonal systems and require ongoing monitoring and management. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we perform hormone level assessments, ACTH stimulation testing, and other evaluations to reach an accurate picture of your pet's endocrine health. Once a condition is identified, we build a management plan and schedule follow-up visits to track your pet's response over time.

Von Willebrand's Disease

Von Willebrand's disease is a hereditary bleeding disorder that affects certain breeds of dogs, including Dobermans, Shetland Sheepdogs, and German Shepherds. Affected dogs may bleed excessively after minor injuries, surgery, or tooth extractions. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we screen for this condition in at-risk breeds and manage affected patients with careful pre-surgical planning and appropriate supportive care. If your dog is scheduled for surgery and you are concerned about bleeding risk, our team will assess them before proceeding.

Renal and Kidney Health

Kidney conditions including chronic kidney disease and renal dysplasia require careful long-term monitoring. Early signs can be subtle and may include increased thirst and urination, weight loss, reduced appetite, and lethargy. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we use blood panels, urinalysis, and blood pressure monitoring to evaluate kidney function and track changes over time. We work with you to manage your pet's condition through dietary adjustments, hydration support, and regular reassessment to preserve kidney function as long as possible.

Hip Dysplasia and Orthopedic Medical Management

Hip dysplasia is a developmental condition affecting the hip joint, most commonly in large and giant breed dogs. It can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Apollo Animal Hospital, we offer medical management options for pets with hip dysplasia, including veterinary-grade joint support, weight management, physical rehabilitation guidance, and monitoring. For cases that may benefit from surgical intervention, we can coordinate a referral to an orthopedic surgeon.

Medical Assessment and Symptomatic Care

Not every visit involves a named condition. Pets sometimes present with vague signs, including lethargy, reduced appetite, weight changes, or behavioral shifts, that require a thorough workup to understand. Apollo Animal Hospital conducts structured medical assessments that review your pet's history, perform a full physical examination, and use targeted diagnostics to build a clear picture. Our symptomatic care approach addresses your pet's current needs while we investigate the underlying cause.

FAQs

What are the signs that my dog might have a skin allergy?
Common signs include itching, redness, recurring ear infections, paw licking, and hair loss in specific areas. Allergies in dogs can be triggered by environmental factors, food, or contact allergens. Our team can perform a skin assessment to identify the likely cause and develop a management plan.
How do I know if my cat has a heart condition?
Heart conditions in cats are often silent until they are advanced. Signs that warrant a veterinary assessment include labored breathing, open-mouth breathing, weakness, or sudden collapse. We recommend annual wellness exams for adult cats so we can listen for early changes.
What is Cushing disease in dogs and how is it managed?
Cushing disease occurs when the body produces excess cortisol, often due to a pituitary or adrenal gland issue. Signs include increased thirst and urination, a pot-bellied appearance, hair loss, and skin changes. It is managed through regular monitoring and a long-term care plan tailored to the individual dog.
Can Apollo Animal Hospital manage my pet's chronic condition long-term?
Yes. We provide ongoing care for pets managing chronic conditions including diabetes, kidney disease, heart conditions, and arthritis. We schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your pet’s response and adjust their plan as needed.
