Allergic Reactions
Allergic reactions in pets can occur unexpectedly, causing discomfort and sometimes posing serious health risks. Allergies can stem from various triggers, including environmental factors, food, or insect bites. Knowing when to seek prompt veterinary care in response to an allergic reaction can make a significant difference in your pet’s health.
Eye and Ear Infections
An eye or ear infection can leave pets in discomfort from all that itching and irritation. We provide compassionate care to diagnose and treat these common issues for your companion’s lasting quality of life.
Ingestion of Toxins
Has your pet eaten something they shouldn’t have? Common toxins for pets include household cleaners, medications, plants, chocolate, and certain foods. These substances can cause a wide range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to life-threatening reactions. If you’re worried your companion has had something dangerous, call us right away!
Lameness or Sudden Limping
Caring for a pet means paying attention to subtle changes in their behavior, including how they walk or move. If your dog or cat begins to limp or shows signs of lameness, our team at Bark Avenue can investigate the underlying cause and help your companion feel steady on their paws again.
Reserved Same-Day Appointment Slots
When your pet faces a health concern that can’t wait, Bark Avenue Veterinary Services offers Pet Reserved Same-Day Appointment Slots for immediate attention. Designed for non-life-threatening but urgent issues, these appointments give you quick access to professional care right when you need it.
Respiratory Distress
When your pet experiences breathing difficulties, it’s critical you get them professional care right away. At Bark Avenue Veterinary Services in Riverdale, NJ, we specialize in evaluating and treating mild to moderate respiratory distress and work tirelessly to get your furry friend breathing clearly.
Skin Conditions
Skin conditions can cause itching, irritation, and even pain—none of which is much fun for your pet or your family! Our veterinarian is here to provide compassionate and effective treatment tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Urinary Issues
Urinary problems in pets can range from simple infections to more serious underlying conditions. Our team at Bark Avenue Veterinary Services is highly experienced in diagnosing and treating a variety of pet urinary issues to keep your furry friend feeling healthy and comfortable as they do their business.
Vomiting/Diarrhea
The mess alone makes these issues a pain, but they’re often indicators of a more severe issue in pets. If your companion is having digestive problems at either end, bring them in for care at Bark Avenue right away so we can address their tummy troubles.
Wound Care
Cuts or injuries of any size are a big problem for pets, but our team helps put the issue under wraps with expert attention for wounds large or small.
Pain Management
Seeing your pet in pain can be just as agonizing for you as it is for them. We prioritize comprehensive pain management for all our patients, but if your pet is dealing with chronic or sudden pain in particular, we’ll assess the underlying cause to put an end to whatever’s causing their ouch.
Post-Surgical Care
Your pet’s recovery after surgery is just as delicate as the procedure itself, so Bark Avenue Veterinary Services provides comprehensive pet post-surgical care to help your furry friend heal safely and comfortably. Whether your pet has had a routine procedure or a more complex surgery, our doctor is here to guide you through every step of the recovery process.
Referral Coordination
We know your pets may need care that goes beyond our clinic’s capabilities. That’s why we offer pet referral coordination to ensure your pet receives the best treatment available. If your pet requires overnight care, advanced diagnostic testing, a specialized surgical procedure, or anything else we can’t cover, we’ll guide you through the referral process and get them the care they need.
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), commonly referred to as bloat, is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical intervention. Bark Avenue Veterinary Services in Riverdale, NJ, practices emergency treatment of GDV to help your pet recover.
Splenectomy
A splenectomy involves removing the spleen to address serious health concerns such as rupture, tumors, or other life-threatening conditions. Our experienced veterinarian is highly experienced in this surgery and is ready to help your companion’s insides feel better.
Enterotomy
When foreign objects or other complications block a pet’s intestines, an enterotomy can quickly clear the congestion. This procedure involves surgically opening the intestines to remove blockages or treat medical conditions affecting the gastrointestinal system.
Foreign Body Removal
Curiosity can sometimes lead pets to bad habits, and we often see furry family members eat foreign objects like toys, socks, or even household items. Our expert veterinarian can quickly identify where these objects are hiding and get them back outside of your pet.
Gastrotomy
Stomach issues are always a troublesome time for pets and their owners. We specialize in gastronomy to assess what’s bothering your fur baby’s belly and perform surgery to remove any blockage or address other underlying medical concerns.
Resection and Anastomosis
When pets face severe intestinal damage or disease, timely surgical intervention can make all the difference in their recovery. Bark Avenue Veterinary Services in Riverdale, NJ, practices pet resection and anastomosis procedures with expert care to remove damaged sections of the intestine and restore your pet’s digestive health.
Cesarean Section
Pet births can be complicated, and sometimes, we need to perform a pet cesarean section, or C-section, for a safe delivery. We are here to help you welcome your new fur babies with dedicated support.
Pyometra Surgery
Pyometra is a serious condition that affects unspayed female pets, posing significant risks to their health if left untreated. At Bark Avenue Veterinary Services, we conduct specialized pet pyometra surgery to reverse this issue and help your companion feel like herself again.
Gastropexy
Gastropexy, a preventative or emergency surgery designed to reduce the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), is a key service we recommend to keep your companions safe against bloat.
Spays/Neuters
Our pet spays/neuters in Riverdale, NJ, are designed to support your pet’s overall health and help prevent unwanted litters. This simple surgery can do wonders to support your companion’s lifelong health, so be sure to have your pet spayed or neutered once they’re grown enough. Our veterinarian can provide guidance as necessary.
Ultrasound
At Bark Avenue, we offer Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) as a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic tool to assess urgent medical concerns. Our abdominal and thoracic POCUS scans help identify critical conditions such as free fluid in the abdomen or chest, obvious large tumors, and other emergent abnormalities that may require immediate attention.
Unlike full abdominal ultrasounds, which provide a comprehensive organ evaluation, POCUS is designed for real-time, focused assessments, allowing our team to make quick and informed decisions about your pet’s care. Whether detecting internal bleeding, assessing heart and lung function, or guiding emergency interventions, our ultrasound services ensure that your pet gets the urgent care they need—right when they need it.
Behavioral Sedation
Some pets may feel intense anxiety or stress during veterinary visits or medical treatments. To help them feel comfortable and stay safe, we offer pet behavioral sedation as part of our compassionate care approach. This service is especially valuable for pets needing urgent care but experiencing extreme anxiety, allowing us to address their medical needs effectively while minimizing stress.
Aural Hematoma Repair
This treatment for fluid-filled ear flaps is aimed at preventing discomfort and disfigurement. If your companion is showing swelling issues with their ears, our specialized care can reduce the bloat and restore comfort.
Cystotomy
Cystotomy entails surgical removal of bladder stones or obstructions. If your furry friend is experiencing urinary difficulties, bladder stones, or other related conditions, a pet cystotomy might be the solution to restore their well-being.
Enucleation
Enucleation means the removal of a damaged or diseased eye to alleviate pain and improve overall health. Even though that may sound alarming, this treatment can be key to preserving your pet’s quality of life when a pet’s eye is severely damaged or diseased and preserving vision is no longer an option. Our veterinarian takes the utmost care in this procedure and practices thorough aftercare to support recovery.
Mass Removals
Notice a new lump on your pet? Our skilled veterinarian evaluates and removes growths, both benign and malignant, to ensure they can’t stick around to bother your companion.
Wound Repairs
Our care team approaches wound repair thoroughly and seriously, sterilizing and treating any lacerations, punctures, or injuries comprehensively to help your pet recover smoothly.
Digital X-rays
X marks the spot (or at least points it out!) with our comprehensive digital X-ray setup. We commonly use this low-radiation alternative to traditional radiography to safely and quickly identify what may be ailing your fur baby.
Immediate Oxygen Stabilization
Our advanced facility features oxygen support for pets experiencing difficulty breathing due to trauma, illness, or obstruction. If your pet is experiencing respiratory distress, our immediate oxygen stabilization can help them breathe clearly while we address the underlying issue.
In-House Laboratory
Thanks to our extensive in-house lab facilities, we can immediately conduct bloodwork, test infections, and conduct other diagnostics to move ahead with appropriate care for your pet right when they need it.
IV Fluids and Stabilization
Fluid support is crucial for treating dehydration or shock, and our advanced IV stabilization services provide immediate care for pets in critical conditions. This specialized treatment ensures that your furry friend gets the support they need to recover and regain their strength.
Dental Cleanings
A healthy smile goes beyond aesthetics—it’s essential for your pet’s overall health. Proper dental care helps prevent painful oral conditions and protects against more severe health issues. Our dedicated veterinarian provides comprehensive pet dental cleanings to keep your furry companion’s teeth and gums healthy.
Dental Extractions
Whether due to advanced dental disease, fractured teeth, or other oral conditions, if a pet’s tooth is beyond repair, the best treatment is typically to remove it altogether. Remember, a missing tooth or two won’t affect your pet, but an ongoing dental infection most certainly will!
Dental X-Rays
Dental health is an essential part of your pet’s overall well-being, and not all oral issues are visible on the surface. For complete oral assessments, Bark Avenue Veterinary Services features pet dental X-rays to examine the areas beneath the gum line and detect potential problems early.
