The services available to patients of Texas West Animal Health include:

Bovine Medicine

In our area, raising cattle is a highly profitable business, but it’s only successful if your cows and bulls are healthy. That’s where Texas West Animal Health comes in. We offer comprehensive bovine medical services to help you manage the ongoing wellness of your cattle, whether they’re being raised for dairy or beef production, or are simply members of your barnyard family. Our bovine services include wellness and vaccinations, reproductive services, calf care and much more. All services are performed on-site at your farm, making the care and upkeep of your cattle easy and convenient.

Goat & Sheep Medicine

Whether you’re raising these animals for meat, wool or dairy production, or you simply like having them around as your cherished barnyard pets, we’ve got all of the services needed to keep them happy and healthy throughout the course of their lives. Our goat and sheep services include wellness care and vaccinations, lameness evaluations, diagnostic testing, neonatal care and more. We’re also equipped to provide emergency medical care, should the need arise. All of our small ruminant services are delivered right to your farm.

Wellness & Vaccinations

Keeping your pet happy and healthy is the goal of any caring pet parent. The best way to achieve this goal is to make a commitment to ongoing wellness care. Even if your pet appears to be perfectly healthy, there could be an illness developing under the surface. Routine exams, at least once a year, allow us to identify these potential concerns so we can address them right away, before they have a chance to develop further. Wellness visits also allow us to provide preventative care to your pet to help protect them against illness and disease, and extend and improve their quality of life.

Dermatology

Animals can experience many of the same dermatological problems as humans, including allergies and infections. These conditions, which affect the skin, ears and feet, can cause a number of unpleasant side effects and greatly diminish your pet’s quality of life. Texas West Animal Health can help! We offer comprehensive, professional animal dermatology services through which we are able to identify, diagnose and treat a broad range of skin conditions. We can get to the bottom of whatever is causing your companion’s condition, and develop a plan that will help reduce or eliminate the problem altogether.

Nutrition & Weight Management

Balanced nutrition and a healthy weight are just as important to our animal friends as they are to us. What you feed your pet can do everything from improve performance to promote a healthier lifestyle. The right diet can even help manage a number of existing medical conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. The problem is, unless you’ve been trained in animal nutrition, determining what your pet’s needs are and then figuring out the best way to meet those needs can be a challenge especially with so many pet food products available on the market today. You need the help of an expert.

Behavioral Counseling

One of the biggest hurdles pet owners face is bad behavior. When an animal is acting out negatively, it can stand in the way of your relationship with them, and make it difficult to embrace them as a part of the family. At Texas West, we understand animal behavior and we can help! We’ll work with you to get to the bottom of what’s causing your pet to act out, and then develop a plan to help overcome that bad behavior once and for all. If you’re struggling with your pet’s negative habits, don’t wait a moment longer. Let us bring out the well-behaved family member your pet is capable of becoming and restore peace and harmony back into your home.
