At Barstow Animal Hospital, we offer comprehensive endocrinology services for dogs and cats, providing advanced diagnostic and treatment options for a wide range of hormonal disorders. We specialize in identifying and managing conditions like diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Cushing’s disease. These endocrine disorders can significantly impact your pet’s health and quality of life, and our team is dedicated to offering the care and attention needed to effectively manage these conditions.
One of the key services we provide is the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus, a common endocrine disorder in pets, especially in older cats and dogs. We use the latest diagnostic tools to assess blood glucose levels and monitor insulin therapy. Our team works closely with pet owners to develop personalized treatment plans, including insulin administration, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes to help manage the condition and prevent complications.
In addition to diabetes, we are experienced in diagnosing and treating thyroid conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is more common in dogs and can lead to symptoms such as lethargy, weight gain, and skin issues. Hyperthyroidism, often seen in older cats, can cause weight loss, increased appetite, and hyperactivity. We offer blood tests, ultrasounds, and other diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose these disorders, and we work with you to determine the best treatment plan, whether it involves medication, diet, or surgery.
For pets with adrenal disorders like Cushing’s disease, we provide a full range of services to help manage this complex condition. Cushing’s disease is caused by an overproduction of cortisol and can lead to symptoms like excessive thirst, urination, and skin thinning. At Barstow Animal Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tests and parther with high-quality ACTH stimulation test and abdominal ultrasound specialists to offer services for both dogs and cats to determine the most effective treatment, which may include medications or surgery. Our endocrinology services are designed to improve the well-being of pets with hormonal imbalances, ensuring they can live longer, healthier lives.
