Services

Grooming is now offered for dogs and cats Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our groomer can do a full service groom with breed specific cuts! Our full service grooms include a trim/cut, bath, nail trim, and ear cleaning. Medicated baths or flea and tick baths are available for your furry friends. For your double coated dogs, we offer shed control baths, blow-out and brush! Give us a call for prices and to schedule your groom!

Heartworms are deadly parasites that are very common in Louisiana, which infect both dogs and cats. Heartworms are transmitted when a mosquito bites an animal infected with heartworms, and then bites an uninfected animal, passing the parasite along to them. Heartworms can be treated in canines, but there is no treatment available for felines.

Heartworm prevention is always less expensive and more effective than treatment, and preventative medications are available at All Creatures. If you suspect your pet may have heartworms or wish to begin your dog or cat on heartworm prevention, please call the caring staff at All Creatures Animal Care today.

You do not have to make these difficult decisions on your own. Our staff can talk about the different choices that you may encounter with an elderly, sick, or terminally ill pets.

We also offer cremation for your pet, whether you would like to receive their remains back or not. Our clinic also offers at home euthanasia in certain circumstances.

We offer a complete full service diagnostic lab in clinic.   In the past, important diagnostic tests had to be sent to an outside diagnostic laboratory for analysis, but our machines provide our doctors results typically within an hour so treatment can begin immediately if needed for your pet.

Our clinic uses an intensive care approach to animals who require hospitalization. We are also equipped for critical care/hospitalization of reptiles, birds, and other exotics.

We understand that not all animal’s needs are small. Our clinic is pleased to offer large animal services to the northeast Louisiana area; and manage most surgical, dental, herd health, and reproductive services. For our clients with larger animals that need help on site, farm calls are available and we will come to you!

If you have bovine or equine needs, call our clinic to schedule your farm call or get a quote.

Nutrition plays an important role in your pets quality of life and well being. Our staff offers nutritional counseling for all pets large and small. Exotic nutrition can be tricky so let us help you take out the guesswork!

Our clinic takes its goal of providing the best standard of care by providing a pharmacy in our clinic. Advantages to having a pharmacy on-site are not only having the medication ready for your pet before you leave our clinic, but also having the best medicines available directly from the manufacturer. Our clinic pharmacy carries antibiotics, flea preventatives, heartworm preventatives, steroids and pain medicine.

We also offer an online store to our clients! Get our recommended medications, diets and supplies delivered to your home.  With scheduling options and free shipping on most orders, our store offers the convenience of shopping online, while keeping sales in our community. Medication can only be sold if we have seen your pet for this problem and prescribed medication by the doctor. Please see the link below to visit our online store!

Our doctors work with breeders to ensure safe, healthy and profitable litters. Progesterone testing is available to make sure your female is ready for breeding. We can provide semen collection from males and laparoscopic insemination for females whether it is through surgery or insertion. We are able to ship semen collected from your male dog, but we are not storing semen at this time.  Our staff will monitor the health of the mother throughout her pregnancy and address any issues that may arise from carrying a litter. Once it is time to deliver our doctors will either perform the delivery in-house or make sure that you as the owner have all the information needed to ensure a safe delivery process. In some cases, cesarean sections (also known as c-sections) are needed and those are done within our surgical suite.

When we say “all creatures”, we mean ALL creatures! Our doctors are specialized in any living creature. From snakes, frogs, birds, ferrets (and many many more), our doctors know that special care and attention must be given to these exotic animals.

All Creatures Animal Care is equipped with a state-of-the-art surgical suite located within our clinic. Our doctors are highly trained in all types of surgery including:

• Spay and Neuters
• Declawing
• Ocular Surgeries
• Oral Surgery
• Mass Removals
• Orthopedics
• IM pins
• Tail docks
• Exploratory
• Cruciate repair
• Ear Crop

Before your pet has surgery, our veterinarian will do a complete physical exam and any pre-op blood work or lab studies will be completed before your animal is sedated for surgery.

Ultrasound is a test that is done on the soft tissues and organs in the body. We are able to tell the size and function of the heart, organ texture and size, musculoskeletal injury, and even find embryos if your animal is pregnant.

Our clinic strives to care for your pet from all throughout their life. Wellness examinations help us establish a relationship with you and your pet. Through your pet’s physical examinations, other wellness procedures, and our consultations with you, we get to know your pet and learn about his or her lifestyle, personality, health risks, home environment, and other important information. We recommend Yearly wellness check ups for your pet.

By maintaining proper dental conformation, complicated issues such as impaction colic, painful facial abscesses, tooth fractures, and loss of teeth can be avoided, thus providing a better quality of life and longevity for the horse. A horse’s teeth will grow continuously throughout its life. A small, otherwise unnoticeable problem in dental conformation will become larger in time due to a horse’s continually growing dentition. Correction via float before these problems become large and complicated is the best way to avoid these problems.

Yearly dental exams in horses should begin when they turn 2-3 years old, when caps, or “baby teeth” are being lost. During the float procedure, a combination of hand tools/power tools are used to round out sharp edges and restore proper tooth conformation.

Checking for pregnancy is done with both hand palpation and an ultrasound. “Preg check” is vital to maintaining a producer’s investment in both equine and bovine reproduction. In cattle, knowing what stage of pregnancy is important to herd management to reduce scours and pneumonia (the most common calf ailments). Cows that have an imminent calving should be placed in dry, clean pastures, seperate from their regular pasture, to best protect new calves with a lower immune system. Cows that do not produce calves are an investment loss. Producers that continue to feed an infertile cow will lose money when they could have been feeding a cow that provides a replacement heifer or calf. Cattle have a gestation period average of 283 days, or a little over nine months.

In the mare, a 14 day pregnancy check is standard to the post breeding date. The presence of twins can jeopardize the life of a mare and her embryos, and a life-saving “twin reduction” procedure can be done to save the mare and foal. Horses have a gestation period of 340 days, or a little over eleven months. If any concerns at any time during a mare’s pregnancy arise, ultrasound can be used to determine viability. During an ultrasound evaluation of the mare, a veterinarian can also determine a mare’s reproductive potential by her vulvar confirmation and by identifying abnormalities within the reproductive tract (such as fluids, cysts, and urine pooling).

A pregnancy can be detected as early as:

• Bovine- as early as 30 days
• Equine- as early as 14 days.

Death of calves and sometimes their dams with subsequent loss in calf crop and profit is possible during this difficult delivery, so every effort by the producers to avoid this should be made. Consultation with a veterinarian to avoid dystocia can be scheduled. If one does find themself in a dystocia situation, please contact All Creatures Animal Care for further assistance.
