Treatment of Infectious Disease in Farmington, NM
San Juan Veterinary Hospital maintains a separate isolation ward where we can safely treat highly contagious infectious diseases such as canine parvovirus and infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough). This allows us to provide quality care for these patients without risking the health of other animals in the hospital.
Book OnlineInfectious diseases can spread quickly among pets, especially in environments where multiple animals are present, which is why isolation protocols are such an important part of responsible veterinary care. Our dedicated isolation ward allows our team to provide focused, attentive treatment to contagious patients while maintaining strict protocols to protect every other pet in our hospital.
Conditions we’re equipped to manage in isolation include:
- Canine parvovirus, a serious and highly contagious viral disease
- Infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough)
- Other contagious respiratory or gastrointestinal illnesses
Treatment for infectious disease often involves supportive care such as fluid therapy, medications, and close monitoring, guided by diagnostic testing to confirm the specific illness and track your pet’s progress. Prevention remains the best defense against many of these diseases, which is why staying current on vaccinations is so important, particularly for puppies and kittens who are more vulnerable to serious complications.
If your pet is showing signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a persistent cough, please call ahead at (505) 326-2205 before arriving so we can prepare appropriately and help prevent exposure to other patients.
