Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicinal technique used to stimulate the immune system and local nerves, relax muscles, adjust blood and lymph flow, and release endorphins. Many diseases and injuries can benefit from acupuncture including orthopedic diseases (osteoarthritis), neurological conditions (seizures, intervertebral disc problems), gastrointestinal diseases (inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhea, vomiting and constipation), and respiratory problems (asthma and bronchitis). Patients undergoing chemotherapy can also be treated with acupuncture to support the immune system and decrease adverse side effects. At East End Veterinary Center, we have veterinarians experienced and trained in acupuncture for pets, extending this centuries-old, proven holistic medicinal technique to the animal community.
Our blood donor program was established to offer hospitalized pets access to life-saving whole blood products without having to wait for a delivery from the blood bank. Timely treatment can often mean the difference between life and death when pets are faced with a critical injury or illness that requires a whole blood transfusion. We also offer free baseline preliminary blood work to all potential donors. Consider signing up your eligible pet today and you very well may safe the life of someone else's furry family member tomorrow!

If your pet is injured or suddenly develops concerning symptoms, this constitutes a veterinary emergency. Many pets do a good job of hiding pain or discomfort and oftentimes, injuries or sickness can go unnoticed for too long. It is important to act quickly if you feel your pet is not quite acting him or herself, with some common symptoms including: lethargy, reduced appetite, hiding, avoiding putting weight on a limb or side, difficulty breathing, difficulty urinating, weakness, whining, or shaking. If you suspect your pet is suffering from a medical emergency or is demonstrating unusual behavior, please call us immediately at 631-369-4513 or stop in; an experienced staff member will be able to determine whether or not your pet requires treatment.
The following is a list of common pet emergencies:
Canine Platelet Enhancement Therapy (C-PET) is an alternative, non-surgical technique that enhances healing by stimulating stem cells to promote regrowth. A licensed veterinarian will take a blood sample from your pet and run it through a specialized filter, capturing the blood’s valuable platelets (platelets are what allows injuries to clot or "scab"), at a high concentration. Growth factors located on the platelets are pre-cursors to stem cells and when injected into a troublesome joint, have numerous regrowth abilities, working themselves into the joints to improve arthritis, joint degeneration, joint pain, lameness, tissue damage, and more. This therapy is minimally invasive and extremely low-stress for your dog; in most cases, your pet will return home to you the same day with little to no side effects! This therapy is perfect for those looking to try non-surgical alternative medical options for their pet.
Dermatology
Many know that skin is our body's largest organ and it's not surprising that the same is true for our animal companions. For this reason and many more, incidental or chronic skin issues can be very uncomfortable for your pet, which is why it is so important that they be addressed sooner rather than later. These conditions can also be frustrating for you as a pet parent, especially when traditional treatments aren't working and your pet isn't acting quite like him or herself. Oftentimes, an appointment with a veterinary dermatologist is needed for advanced management and care. If your family veterinarian recommends that your pet seek a specialist for advanced skin care, you can trust the board-certified dermatologist and technical staff at East End Veterinary Center. We work closely with your family veterinarian to diagnose and manage food, seasonal, and general allergies, fungal infections, bacterial infections, chronic ear infections, perform skin biopsies and diagnostic testing, and much more. Our dermatologist has the expertise needed to treat even the most stubborn skin concerns. We offer a wide variety of treatment options and are able to work with you to come up with a solution that makes sense for your family. We, along with your family veterinarian, are here as your support system—always ready to tackle the issue together with a treatment plan that works best for you and your pet. Give us a call today to learn more or to schedule an appointment.
