Conditions We Treat

Quality veterinary care can extend the lifespan of your pet. At Rush Animal Care, we treat a wide range of illnesses and conditions in pets to help preserve and restore their long-term health. Working with an experienced veterinarian near you in Johnston is one of the best ways to nurse your pet back to health.

Here are some of the conditions we treat to help restore our pet patients’ health:

Chronic illnessOur clinic treats chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis, allergies, and more. Through diagnostic testing, your vet can uncover signs of chronic illnesses early to avoid delays in your pet's treatment.

Pet asthma – Flat-nosed dogs and cats are more prone to developing asthma, which can cause coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. We’ll test your pet to identify asthma triggers so you can eliminate them from his environment. We also offer treatment for chronic asthma to minimize your pet’s symptoms.

Pet dehydration – Dehydration is extremely dangerous for dogs and cats as it can lead to heatstroke, which can be deadly. If your pet shows signs of heatstroke (excessive thirst, panting or drooling, seizures, rapid heartbeat), contact us immediately for emergency care.

Eye injuries – Your Johnston vet can diagnose and treat all kinds of eye irritations, infections, and injuries to prevent vision loss and restore your pet's eye health.

Seizures – Pet seizures can be caused by epilepsy, brain tumors, or chronic health conditions. If your pet suffers from seizures, contact your vet. We’ll examine your pet, identify the cause of his affliction, and provide treatment.

Arthritis – Arthritis is a common chronic affliction for elderly pets. We offer medication to manage your pet’s symptoms and improve his mobility, enabling him to continue living a high quality of life.

Lameness – Lameness can often be attributed to soft tissue, bone, or joint injuries in your pet. A thorough exam with x-rays can determine the cause of your pet’s lameness, so we can correct the problem and restore his mobility.

Pet allergies – Pets are prone to food allergies, environmental allergies, and flea bite allergies that can cause irritations on their skin. We’ll test your pet to pinpoint the allergens triggering his symptoms, so you can eliminate them from his environment and diet. We also offer medication for pet allergies to help relieve symptoms.

Heartworm disease – Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and poses a serious health threat to dogs and cats. Fortunately, this disease can be prevented through medication supplied by your vet.
