Common Conditions in Dogs and Cats
Pet Allergies
Itchy skin, constant licking, and recurring ear or skin infections are often signs of environmental, food, or flea allergies. We identify the triggers and create a plan to keep your pet comfortable year-round.
Ear Infections
Head shaking, odor, redness, and scratching at the ears can signal bacterial or yeast ear infections. Prompt treatment relieves pain and prevents chronic ear damage.
Dental Disease
Periodontal disease is the most common health condition in adult pets. Bad breath, tartar, and red gums are early warning signs that call for a professional evaluation and dental cleaning.
Arthritis
Stiffness, slowing down, and trouble with stairs often point to osteoarthritis. Our multimodal pain management, including laser therapy, helps arthritic pets stay active.
Cruciate Ligament Injuries
A torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is a leading cause of hind-leg lameness in dogs. Our team offers diagnosis and surgical repair, including TPLO, through our orthopedic surgery service.
Heartworm Disease
Spread by mosquitoes, heartworm disease damages the heart and lungs and is common in Oklahoma. Annual testing and year-round parasite prevention protect your pet.
Pet Obesity
Extra weight raises the risk of arthritis, diabetes, and other diseases. Our nutritional counseling creates a safe, realistic weight-loss plan.
Kidney Disease
Increased thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss can signal chronic kidney disease, especially in older cats and dogs. Early detection through bloodwork helps slow its progression.
Diabetes
Diabetes in pets causes excessive thirst, urination, and appetite with weight loss. With insulin therapy, diet changes, and monitoring, many diabetic pets live full, happy lives.
Vomiting and Diarrhea
Gastrointestinal upset ranges from mild dietary indiscretion to serious illness. Our urgent care veterinarian can determine the cause and provide treatment the same day.
Diagnosis and Treatment Under One Roof
As an AAHA-accredited animal hospital, Woodland West follows high standards for diagnostics, anesthesia, surgery, and pain management. Whether your pet needs medication, a prescription diet from our pharmacy, surgery, or long-term monitoring through our senior care program, our team will walk you through every option and build a plan that fits your pet and your budget.
Many of these conditions can be detected early during routine wellness exams, when treatment is often simpler and more affordable. That’s why we recommend yearly checkups for adult pets and twice-yearly visits for seniors.
Pet Health Conditions FAQs
How do I know if my pet’s symptoms need a vet visit?
Any change in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, breathing, or behavior that lasts more than a day, or any sudden or severe symptom, should be evaluated. Call us at (918) 299-1208 and our team can help you decide how quickly your pet should be seen.
Can you diagnose my pet’s condition in-house?
In most cases, yes. We offer in-house bloodwork, digital X-rays, ultrasound, and CT imaging, which allows us to diagnose many conditions without referral.
Do you see sick pets the same day?
Yes. Our dedicated urgent care veterinarian and walk-in service allow us to see sick or injured pets the same day whenever possible, 7 days a week.

Yes. With medication, diet, and regular monitoring, many pets with chronic conditions enjoy a good quality of life for years. We create a long-term plan and adjust it as your pet’s needs change.

Many are. Heartworm disease, dental disease, obesity, and many parasite-related problems can be prevented or minimized with routine wellness care, parasite prevention, dental cleanings, and good nutrition.
