Dermatology for Dogs and Cats in East Vancouver
Skin conditions in pets can range from minor surface irritation to complex immune-mediated disease, and accurate evaluation is the starting point for effective care. At Killarney Animal Hospital, our dermatology services cover the assessment and management of allergies, ear and skin infections, hot spots, hair loss, and other conditions affecting the coat and skin. We use diagnostic tools including skin scraping, ear cytology, and allergy assessment to identify the underlying cause and develop a care plan focused on long-term skin health rather than short-term symptom management.
Cardiology and Heart Care for Pets
Heart disease in dogs and cats is often progressive, but early identification allows for better management and improved quality of life. At Killarney Animal Hospital, our cardiology services include auscultation, assessment for heart murmurs, and management planning for conditions such as arrhythmias and congestive heart failure. We use diagnostic imaging and electrocardiography where indicated. If your pet requires echocardiogram services, ask our team about availability, as this procedure may be performed by a visiting veterinary specialist. All specialist services require pre-booking.
Pain Management for Dogs and Cats
Managing pain effectively is central to your pet's quality of life, whether they are recovering from surgery, living with arthritis, or managing a chronic condition. At Killarney Animal Hospital, our pain management services use a multimodal approach, combining veterinary products, physical support strategies, and monitoring to maintain your pet's comfort. We assess pain levels at every appointment and adjust the care plan based on your pet's response. We also discuss home management strategies to help you recognize pain signals and support your pet's comfort between visits.
Hip Dysplasia Management in East Vancouver
Hip dysplasia is a developmental joint condition common in larger breeds, resulting in abnormal hip joint formation and varying degrees of discomfort and mobility limitation. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we assess hip health through physical examination and X-ray imaging and develop an individualized management plan. Options may include weight management, supportive care, mobility aids, and surgical referral for appropriate cases. We work with you to maximize your pet's mobility and comfort throughout every stage of the condition.
Renal Dysplasia and Kidney Health
Renal dysplasia is a developmental kidney condition that can reduce kidney function over time. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we offer kidney function screening through bloodwork and urinalysis, and develop monitoring and support plans for pets diagnosed with renal disease. Early identification through routine senior wellness panels is the most effective way to detect kidney changes before they become advanced. Our team will help you understand the findings and make informed decisions about your pet's ongoing care.
Medical Assessment and Internal Medicine
A comprehensive medical assessment covers your pet's full health picture, including a thorough physical exam, review of history, and targeted diagnostic testing to evaluate organ function and identify any systemic changes. At Killarney Animal Hospital, medical assessments are the foundation of care for pets with complex or chronic health conditions. Conditions managed through our internal medicine services include endocrine diseases such as diabetes and Cushing's disease, gastrointestinal conditions, immune disorders, and rare genetic conditions such as Von Willebrand's disease. We coordinate with specialty referral partners when advanced diagnostics or procedures are indicated.
