Medical Services for Dogs and Cats in Walnut Creek

Most pet health concerns start small. A flake of skin, an ear that smells off, a missed meal, a little extra thirst. Medical services at Rossmoor Pet Hospital help Walnut Creek families address those signs early, before they grow into something harder to manage. Our team handles allergies and dermatology, ear and eye care, gastrointestinal concerns, internal medicine support, and ongoing pain management for dogs and cats.

Allergies and Dermatology Care in Walnut Creek

Itchy skin is one of the most common reasons pet owners come to see us. Allergies in dogs and cats can show up as recurring ear issues, hot spots, paw licking, hair loss, or stubborn rashes. Our veterinarians evaluate environmental, food, and parasite triggers and build a plan that may include skin assessments, allergy workups, medicated baths, dietary changes, and ongoing itch management.

Ear and Eye Care in Walnut Creek

Ear infections and eye irritations are common, and they hurt. We evaluate ear and eye complaints carefully, often with otoscopic exams, eye pressure checks, tear production testing, and fluorescein stains for corneal injuries. Care can range from a thorough cleaning and ear flush to ongoing care for chronic conditions in floppy-eared breeds.

Gastrointestinal Care in Walnut Creek

Vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and appetite changes are sometimes simple. Sometimes they are not. Our team takes a careful history and uses in-house labs, imaging, and stool testing to figure out what is going on. Care may include dietary support, hydration, anti-nausea support, parasite screening, or referral to our visiting internal medicine consultant for endoscopy when something deeper needs evaluation.

Internal Medicine and Endocrine Care

Conditions like diabetes, thyroid imbalances, kidney concerns, and Cushing's disease show up in subtle ways at first. Rossmoor Pet Hospital is owned and led by Dr. Bikram Sohi, who has practiced veterinary medicine since 2002. For cases that benefit from advanced workups, our team coordinates with Dr. Amy Allen, a board-certified internal medicine veterinarian (DACVIM, Small Animal Internal Medicine) who joins our Walnut Creek hospital on a visiting basis.

Pain Management Care for Walnut Creek Pets

Pain in pets is easy to miss. Cats hide it. Dogs adapt to it. Our team builds personalized care plans for arthritis, post-surgical recovery, soft tissue strain, and chronic pain in seniors. Plans may combine pain relief, joint supplements, weight support, laser care, and gentle activity changes.

When to Bring Your Pet In

If something feels off, it is worth a call. Recurring scratching, ear odor, sudden GI changes, increased thirst, unexplained weight loss, or limping that does not resolve in a day or two all warrant a visit. We see medical cases by appointment Monday through Saturday and offer same-day urgent care during clinic hours for issues that cannot wait.

FAQs

Why does my dog keep getting ear infections?
Recurring ear infections in dogs are often linked to allergies, ear shape, or moisture. Our team will evaluate the ear canal and build a care plan that focuses on long-term comfort.
What are the early signs of allergies in cats and dogs?
Common early signs include constant scratching, paw licking, ear shaking, hot spots, recurring rashes, and watery eyes. A wellness visit is the best place to start.
Can a board-certified internal medicine veterinarian see my pet at Rossmoor Pet Hospital?
Yes. Dr. Amy Allen, a board-certified internal medicine veterinarian (DACVIM, SAIM), sees patients at our Walnut Creek hospital on a visiting basis. Your primary visit with Dr. Bikram Sohi or our associate team coordinates the referral.
My pet is older and slowing down. Is that just aging or is it pain?
Slowing down, stiffness, and reluctance to jump can be signs of pain, not simply age. We build pain management plans that combine pain relief, joint support, weight management, and gentle movement.
How quickly can I get my pet seen for a medical concern in Walnut Creek?
For non-urgent concerns, we usually have appointments within a few days. For same-day urgent issues, walk in or call (925) 322-2262.
