The doctors at Lewisburg Animal Hospital commonly treat internal medicine cases such as kidney, liver, gastrointestinal, and urologic diseases. In addition, we treat many endocrine diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Addison’s disease, and Cushing’s syndrome. Diagnosis of these diseases usually involves bloodwork or other diagnostic testing.

Ocular disease is common in veterinary medicine and Lewisburg Animal Hospital is ready to address many eye diseases as well as emergencies. We offer in-house tonometry to diagnose and monitor glaucoma or uveitis cases.
Sometimes ocular disease can require the expertise of a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. In this case, we can refer your pet to a veterinary ophthalmology practice nearby.

Lewisburg Animal Hospital offers many preventive services such as Vaccination, Heartworm Prevention, Flea and Tick Prevention, Deworming, Nutritional Counseling, Weight Loss Programs, Wellness Blood Screening, and Senior Health Profiles.

Call and we can set up a specialized preventive care plan for your pet regardless of age. Your pet will love you for it!
While our doctors can take care of most of your pets’ needs, occasionally the services of a veterinary specialist are required. These doctors have completed a veterinary program followed by an internship and residency to specialize in their chosen area of expertise. Furthermore, they have passed examinations to become boarded in their respective specialties. Examples of cases we may refer include neurological disease, severe ophthalmic disease, complex metabolic diseases, difficult dermatological disorders, advanced oncology, behavioral issues, and complex surgical cases.
Our referral partners communicate with our doctors to discuss their findings. In many cases, referral cases are then sent back to our hospital for follow-up care. If referral is recommended, our doctors will discuss your pet’s case with you and guide you through this process.
The doctors at Lewisburg Animal Hospital provide reproductive services for our small animal patients. This includes cesarean sections as well as timed breeding utilizing vaginal cytology and progesterone monitoring. We provide vaginal artificial insemination of fresh or fresh chilled semen. In addition, we also provide surgical artificial insemination using fresh or fresh chilled semen. We also offer breeding soundness exams of males to determine if semen quality is adequate to attain pregnancy. Brucellosis testing of both males and females is available before breeding. We can also offer guidance on the nutritional and health needs of neonates.
At Lewisburg Animal Hospital, we can insert a microchip under the skin near the shoulder to permanently identify your pet. We register your pet with Pet Link database before you leave our office, so if your pet becomes lost, it can safely be returned home.
We are happy to make house calls. In addition, we offer at-home euthanasia services when it is time to say goodbye to your beloved pet. If you or your pet finds veterinary visits stressful or if you would simply prefer the convenience of a home visit, please call to arrange an appointment.
An average of 85% of pets over the age of two years have dental disease which can lead to oral pain, bad breath, and early tooth loss. Some pets may need professional dental care as often as twice a year. Lewisburg Animal Hospital provides complete scaling and polishing of your pet’s pearly whites and dental extractions when necessary.
Many owners feel advanced age prohibits their pet from undergoing dental procedures. This is simply not true as most of our patients undergoing dental procedures are geriatric. Many owners report their older dogs becoming much more active after addressing dental disease.
During dental procedures, we utilize gas anesthesia as well as local anesthetic blocks in the case of dental extractions. Local dental blocks help to assure patient safety by minimizing the amount of general anesthesia needed. At our hospital, we ALWAYS have a technician monitoring our anesthetized patients, and we utilize monitoring equipment that measures blood pressure, oxygen levels, heart rate, body temperature, and ECG. In addition, we utilize warming systems such as the Hot Dog Warming System or Circulating Warm Water Blankets to maintain patient body temperature during dental procedures.
Skin problems are common in dogs and cats and can be caused by hormonal disorders, allergies, infections, or parasites such as fleas and mites. These issues can be particularly difficult to treat and should be addressed promptly.
We can often diagnose a skin problem by simply examining your pet. Some dermatologic diseases or conditions do require additional diagnostic procedures to ensure a correct diagnosis. Depending on your pet’s symptoms and the results of our physical exam, we may run blood work or perform skin scrapings, skin cultures, skin cytology, or skin biopsies.
Contact us if you notice your dog or cat scratching excessively or if he or she develops any bare patches, scabs, scaling, redness, inflammation, lumps, or bumps.
