Medical Services

At La Plaza Veterinary Clinic, we provide a full range of medical services to help your pets stay healthy, recover from illness, and enjoy the best quality of life. Whether your pet is showing signs of illness or needs ongoing management of a chronic condition, our experienced team is here to help.

Below is a list of Medical Services we offer

Your pet’s dental health plays a major role in their overall well-being. We offer professional pet dentistry services, including cleanings, dental exams, and extractions.

Signs of dental disease include:

  • Bad breath

  • Drooling or difficulty eating

  • Loose or discolored teeth

  • Swollen or bleeding gums

Our dental cleanings are performed under anesthesia with full monitoring for your pet’s safety. Routine dental care helps prevent periodontal disease, tooth loss, and bacteria-related heart or kidney problems.

We use digital radiology (X-rays) to get a clear picture of your pet’s bones, joints, chest, and abdomen. Radiographs are non-invasive, fast, and highly useful in diagnosing:

  • Fractures and bone injuries

  • Foreign body ingestion

  • Tumors or organ enlargement

  • Heart and lung conditions

X-rays are reviewed by our veterinarians to quickly determine the best course of treatment for your pet.

Fleas can cause intense itching, skin infections, and even transmit tapeworms or diseases. At La Plaza Veterinary Clinic, we offer effective flea prevention products and treatment plans to protect your pet year-round.

Flea control services include:

  • Monthly oral or topical preventatives

  • Flea allergy dermatitis management

  • Home and yard prevention tips

Early prevention is key—ask us about the best flea control for your dog or cat.

If your pet is constantly scratching, licking, or losing fur, they may have a skin condition. We treat a wide range of dermatological issues, including:

  • Allergies (food or environmental)

  • Parasites like mites or fleas

  • Hot spots, rashes, or infections

  • Hair loss or dry skin

Our clinic uses skin scrapings, allergy testing, and targeted treatments to provide relief and long-term solutions.

Heart health is crucial to your pet’s quality of life. We perform thorough heart evaluations using:

  • Physical exams and auscultation

  • Blood pressure testing

  • Chest X-rays

  • Referral-based echocardiograms

We can diagnose and help manage conditions like heart murmurs, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure.

Tonometry is a quick and painless test that measures intraocular pressure (IOP) in your pet’s eyes—essential for detecting glaucoma and other eye disorders early.

We recommend regular eye screenings for senior pets or breeds prone to eye conditions. Early detection helps prevent vision loss.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to visualize internal organs in real time. It's especially useful for:

  • Abdominal exams (liver, spleen, kidneys)

  • Detecting tumors or cysts

  • Monitoring pregnancies

  • Fluid detection in the chest or abdomen

Ultrasound helps us diagnose conditions with greater accuracy and minimal stress to your pet.

Hormonal imbalances can affect your pet’s weight, energy, coat, and organ function. Common endocrine conditions we diagnose and treat include:

  • Diabetes

  • Hypothyroidism (in dogs)

  • Hyperthyroidism (in cats)

  • Cushing’s and Addison’s disease

We use lab testing and ongoing management to help keep your pet stable and healthy.

If your pet isn’t acting like themselves, a full medical assessment can help uncover the cause. We combine:

  • Physical exams

  • Bloodwork and lab testing

  • Imaging (X-rays, ultrasound)

  • Medical history review

From subtle symptoms to sudden illness, we take a thorough, individualized approach to diagnosing and treating your pet’s condition.
