Our Services

We are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership through preventative health care and health-related educational opportunities for our clients. Kewaskum Veterinary Clinic strives to offer excellence in veterinary care to Kewaskum, WI, and all of the surrounding area. Some of the services we offer include:

Preventative Wellness Exam

Kitten/ Puppy — Our staff is prepared to help get your kitten/ puppy started on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your pet’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help them grow into a well-mannered, healthy cat/dog. Some of the information discussed in our exams include advice on nutrition, training, behavior, and socialization. For more information, please refer to the “New Pet Owners” tab listed above.

Adult — Bringing your pet in for a preventative wellness exam can help reassure you that your dog or cat is healthy and/ or help us detect hidden diseases or conditions early. Your pet will be thoroughly examined from the tip of their nose to the end of their tail, during their physical assessment. Appropriate vaccinations, preventatives, and/ or diagnostic testing (blood/ fecal/ urine/ etc.) will be discussed and determined based on their lifestyle.

Weight consultation — An estimated 45% of all U.S pets are classified as overweight or obese. Obesity prevention is important to your pet’s longevity and preventing serious conditions like: arthritis, heart disease, and/or diabetes. Our doctors can help provide consultation on an optimal weight and a weight loss treatment plan.

Geriatrics — A comprehensive senior exam is essential in maintaining your pet’s health and wellness as it ages. Early detection of disease is key in treatment. There are a variety of age related changes that can occur such as arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hormone disorders, kidney, or liver problems. When caught early, these diseases can become more manageable.

Laboratory (In-House/ Out-House)

Heartworm/ tick (4DX) — Annual screenings are essential in detecting both heartworm disease (transmitted by mosquitoes) and/ or Lyme, Anaplasmosis, or Ehrlichia– three of the most common tick- borne diseases. Our in-house test can have results in as little as 8 minutes.

Hematology/ Chemistry (CBC/ CHEM) — A full blood panel can help diagnose multiple illnesses accurately and quickly, as well as, provide quantitative tracking for certain conditions. Tests can be done either in house or sent out to our outside lab. **Required for all surgical procedures.

Fecal — A comprehensive screening that tests for intestinal parasites and/or protozoa.

Urine — Routine screenings can help diagnose suspected UTIs (urinary tract infections) and/or give us insight to how the kidneys are functioning.

Thyroid (T4) — A basic total thyroid level can help indicate potential hypothyroidism (low thyroid activity) or hyperthyroidism (high thyroid activity). This basic test can be performed in house with further testing being sent to an outside laboratory if needed.

Diagnostic Imaging

Radiographs — A non-invasive procedure that allows our staff to diagnose the state of your pet’s skeletal structures and body cavities. Imaging may also provide the presence of many foreign objects if you suspect an ingestion.

Ultrasound — A non-invasive technique that uses sound waves to capture images inside the patient’s body.

Endoscopy —The use of specialized video cameras to evaluate the esophagus and stomach in a minimally invasive manner. In most instances, endoscopy is performed for diagnostic purposes allowing visualization and sampling of abnormalities. It may also be the treatment of choice for esophageal and gastric foreign bodies, as it can be used to remove a variety of foreign objects with little risk to the patient.

Surgical Procedures

Using modern equipment and an experienced team, we aim to provide your pet with high-quality surgery in a safe environment. Our team of skilled veterinarians and technicians are ready to provide your pet with a variety of things to ensure your pet remains safe and cared for throughout the day. Each procedure consists of pre- surgical bloodwork, multiple medications to cater to your pet’s nausea, pain, etc., surgical monitoring system(s) – with both machines and a designated technician, and lots of TLC throughout the day. Your pet’s safety remains our top priority which is why we utilize advanced anesthetic and surgical techniques to help ensure our success and your pet’s recovery.
