Preventive Care

Dental Care
Dogs and cats have teeth and gums just as we do and many of the same problems. Dogs rarely get cavities from tooth decay the way we do, but they very frequently chip and even fracture their teeth. Once the enamel that protects the tooth is gone it becomes sensitive to hot and cold, and open to infection. Often the fracture will open the root canal and that is acutely painful. I’m always amazed when I see these injuries that these pets seem to have no good way of communicating that pain.
Vaccination
Ajo Veterinary Clinic uses the guidelines of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Association of Feline Practitioners for our vaccination protocols. These call for using only the core vaccinations unless you are in an endemic area for some of the regional diseases.
Behavioral Counseling
At Ajo Veterinary Clinic we offer behavioral counseling services for your pet. The most common reason that pets are turned in to the Humane Society or to the Pima Animal Care Center is a behavior problem. Almost 40% of the pets that find homes loose them in the first 90 days. Aggression, destructive behavior, house soiling, and barking are among the most frequently cite problems. Even the most devoted pet owner can feel discouraged and overwhelmed when faced with a behavior that makes no sense and doesn’t get better in spite of every thing he tries. We can help you with these problems. Ajo Veterinary Clinic has information that lets you understand the causes and the things that perpetuate these behaviors. We have the resources to help in training to overcome them. The most important time is when a new pet is being introduced into your home. If you can get the first four weeks right the rest of your pet’s life will be easier. House training and socialization need to start as soon as you get a new puppy home and must be very intense at first so that bad habits aren’t formed. All new pets should be examined by a veterinarian to be sure they are in good health and have the necessary vaccinations and preventatives to keep them that way.
Nutritional Counseling
At Ajo Veterinary Clinic we are very excited about the nutritional counseling we have to offer our Tucson clients. With so many foods now on the market it is very difficult for even the most conscientious owner to know what to choose. One of the most common problems we see is obesity in pets. Have you ever tried to find the calorie content on a grocery store or pet shop food? It is probably not there, and who knows exactly what the categories of foods that manufacturers put on their labels; senior, less active, mature or indoor, means in terms of calories consumed by the animal. Some of those foods are actually higher in calorie density than the regular foods.
Comprehensive Examination
Once a year, you should take your pet in for a check-up. This will include a full physical exam. Client education and recommendations for your pet’s future health will be discussed during this check-up. Our doctors will check the health of your pet from head to tail, and you will be very happy you came to Ajo Veterinary Clinic for service.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Ajo Veterinary Clinic also offers other products for your pet care needs. These items include shampoo, vitamins, products for dental care, puppy and kitten formula, and flea and tick preventatives. For a little bit of fun for your pet we also carry toys.
Pain Management
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
The rewards are a pet that is able to be more active, and less affected by arthritic joint disease as he or she ages. In cats, over weight leads to fatty liver disease, which can cause death when some other problem initiates degeneration and jaundice. Diabetes is also much more common in over weight cats.

Infection Treatment

Ear Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Diabetes Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
Ajo Veterinary Clinic also carries prescription diets for dogs and cats. Among the diseases addressed with these foods are kidney diseases, bladder stones, heart disease, hyperthyroid disease in cats, and food allergy problems in both cats and dogs.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
They also have tartar, which is a build up, first of a bacterial biofilm, like a scum on the teeth, then eventually that hardens from the minerals in the saliva. This is the grayish-brown build-up on the teeth that cannot be brushed away. It is often the source of the odor and the periodontal disease that costs so many dogs their teeth. It causes chronic infections that affect other organs and shortens life. All pets need to have annual health examinations by their veterinarian, and have their teeth and gums checked, at least once a year until middle age, then twice a year.

Emergency Care

Wound and Fracture Care
Ajo Veterinary Clinic provides a variety of surgical services from spay and neuter, tumor removal, exploratory laparotomy, dental cleaning and biopsies. We also perform caesarian sections, bladder stone removal along with wound repair and a variety of other procedures.

Surgery

Veterinary Surgery
At Ajo Veterinary Clinic we provide routine surgical services at the high standards set by The American Animal Hospital Association, (AAHA) by whom we are certified. We consider our anesthesia monitoring to meet the highest standard. Our technicians have had advanced training in anesthesia monitoring. This person’s job is to monitor the patient from induction, throughout surgery, until recovery is complete. Standard monitoring includes heart and respiration rate, blood pressure, oxygen content of the blood or carbon dioxide production, body temperature and depth of anesthesia. We use a variety of pain control measures to keep our patients as comfortable as possible during and after the procedures.
Spaying and Neutering
In addition to providing medical care, Ajo Veterinary Clinic supports the placement of homeless animals and educating clients about spaying and neutering your pet. Our team gives their time to community causes such as the JTED program and the Tucson chapter of the Street Dog Coalition in addition to sponsoring numerous community events.

Lab and X-Rays

Laboratory Services
X-Ray
Dental Radiology
Ajo Veterinary Clinic has excellent digital imaging facilities for both standard X-ray and dental X-ray. This allows on site diagnosis of many conditions. We have partnered with mobile specialists who have the ability to examine and perform ultrasounds, echocardiograms and endoscopy in the comfort of our clinic. If more advanced imaging such as a CT scan or MRI is needed, we can refer to local specialists. We have the ability to send any radiograph to a board certified radiologist for second opinions.
