Dialysis

When kidney disease strikes, it can be a challenging journey for both you and your furry friend. Kidney disease affects your pet’s ability to filter and eliminate waste products from their blood, leading to a buildup of toxins and an imbalance of fluids and electrolytes. This can result in serious health issues and significantly impact your pet’s quality of life. That’s why we’re proud to offer advanced dialysis services to help manage kidney disease and improve your pet’s overall well-being.

Dialysis is a life-saving treatment for pets suffering from acute or chronic kidney failure. It works by filtering and purifying your pet’s blood, removing toxins and waste products that the kidneys can no longer eliminate on their own. Dialysis helps to maintain the balance of fluids and electrolytes in your pet’s body, allowing them to feel more comfortable and improving their overall health. We offer two main types of dialysis treatments: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Hemodialysis involves the use of a machine to filter and clean your pet’s blood. This process requires the placement of a catheter into a large vein, through which blood is drawn, filtered, and returned to the body. Hemodialysis sessions are typically performed several times a week, and each session lasts several hours. Our veterinary team closely monitors your pet during each session to ensure their safety and adjust treatment parameters as needed.
Peritoneal dialysis is another option for pets with kidney failure. 

This method involves the placement of a catheter into your pet’s abdomen, through which a special fluid called dialysate is infused. The dialysate absorbs waste products and toxins from the blood through the peritoneal membrane, which lines the abdominal cavity. The fluid is then drained and replaced with fresh dialysate. Peritoneal dialysis can be performed at home or in our hospital, offering flexibility and convenience for pet owners.

In addition to dialysis treatments, our veterinary team provides ongoing monitoring and support to ensure the best possible outcomes for your pet. We conduct regular assessments of your pet’s kidney function, electrolyte levels, and overall health. This allows us to make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan and address any complications that may arise. Our goal is to improve your pet’s quality of life and help them manage their kidney disease effectively.

In conclusion, our advanced dialysis services offer hope and improved quality of life for pets with kidney disease. With a focus on comprehensive care, personalized treatment plans, and continuous monitoring, we strive to provide the best possible outcomes for your furry friend. Trust us to be your partner in managing your pet’s kidney health and ensuring their well-being.
