Preventive Care

Dental Care
Should your dog or cat need more advanced dental care or oral surgery, NorthStar VETS provides a full range of services from specialists in animal dentistry.
Vaccination
A: Unfortunately, no. While we're flattered that you may want us to take care of your pet's routine medical needs, we only treat patients requiring specialty and/or emergency care. We don't do routine procedures such as spay/neuter, dental, vaccinations or heartworm/flea prevention unless previously arranged with your family veterinarian. There is one exception, however: if you're seeking primary care for exotics and avian (birds), including wellness visits with consultations regarding husbandry and management, our Avian and Exotics Department is happy to provide this service.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
Staffed by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist - a specialist in animal eye care - the Ophthalmology service at NorthStar VETS offers comprehensive diagnostic resources along with medical and surgical treatments for ocular (eye) diseases. We see a wide variety of companion-animal patients, including dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds and horses.
Nutritional Counseling
Medication typically causes side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, hair loss and facial scabbing. Regular follow-up is needed, including blood tests to monitor thyroid hormone levels. Medication and monitoring will be constant expenses for the duration of your cat's life. In addition, your pet may experience the loss of white blood cells and blood clotting abilities, in addition to long-term liver and kidney damage. This treatment does not cure hyperthyroidism.
Comprehensive Examination
Before any procedure, we conduct a thorough pre-anesthetic evaluation, which includes the physical exam and any necessary diagnostic tests. This evaluation helps us identify any potential risks and choose the safest anesthetic plan for your pet.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Pain Management
Pain management: Comprehensive pain management is essential for a good quality of life for cancer patients. We find that our oncology patients often benefit from physical therapy to help maintain their strength and morale.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
Dogs and cats, like humans, commonly experience skin disorders. In fact, there are hundreds of different skin disorders recognized in pets. Because the signs often appear the same - itchy skin and digestive problems are common - accurately determining the cause and the appropriate treatment requires specialized testing and in-depth diagnostic expertise.
Upper Respiratory Illness Treatment
Soft tissue injuries or disorders such as cloacal prolapse (when a bird's combined intestinal, urinary and reproductive organ protrudes from the body)
Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

Ear Infection Treatment

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Diabetes Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Radioiodine is a very specialized treatment for cats with hyperthyroidism. Referred to as I-131, it is the only treatment option currently available that completely cures this condition.
Epilepsy Treatment
Knee Problems Treatment
NorthStar VETS is recruiting 12-to-24 small-breed dogs for a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative surgical procedure, called " Dome Trochleoplasty " which corrects canine patellar luxation.
Heart Disease Treatment
I brought in my parrot Ze in the other day and was seen by Dr. Britton saw my little man and Dylan was the nurse. I have worked in veterinary medicine for 8 years and this was BY FAR the BEST service and experience I have EVER seen or had. The facility was gorgeous. The staff was friendly, but Dr. Britton was AMAZING. She was compassionate and thorough. She treated my little guy like he was her own. Dylan the nurse was SUPER NICE and caring too. My baby was diagnosed with heart disease and I broke down, but Dr. Britton and Dylan put me at ease. I felt like my voice was heard and that my baby was in good hands. Thank you for making my visit wonderful and above all thank you for caring for my son.
Kidney Disease Treatment
If left untreated, gum disease not only can cause bad breath, tooth decay, and tooth loss, but once the bacteria gains access to internal organs through diseased gums, more serious health problems like heart, liver and kidney disease may follow.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
We have been patients of NSV for several years and the level care and knowledge by the staff AND the doctors never ceases to amaze me. They are caring and professional and love my furbabies as much as I do. When my Keeley passed away in 2019, Drs. Anderson, Culbert and Hammer supported me the whole step of the way; literally hugging me and holding my hand. Ann Rooney was phenomenal too; so gentle and kind in a time when I needed it most. This year, I met Dr. Herrmann for Eli who had severe periodontal disease. I thought it was a bit drastic that he suggested full mouth extraction, but I knew as a NS Vet he would only recommend the best care and decided to do it. I can't thank Dr. Herrmann enough for his expert dental care and kindness shown to Eli. I hadn't met him due to Covid restrictions, until our recent visit and he was pleased with Eli's healing...all thanks to him! Dr. Vygantas has seen Eli through his blindness always with care and compassion. I can't forget to mention the client liaisons. Nicole and Jeannette have been great! They respond to every email in a timely manner and always have an answer. I will continue to recommend NSV to everyone and anyone who will listen. Our experience has been outstanding! Thank you for all you do!
Cancer Treatment
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Most of our patients tolerate chemotherapy well with few, if any, side effects. Treatment may be given anywhere from daily to monthly, depending on the type of cancer and intent of therapy.

Emergency Care

Wound and Fracture Care
Poisoning Treatment

Surgery

Dental Surgery
Multiple attempts were made by doctors to correct Louie’s injuries before his adoption into a new home in New Jersey. Louie’s new humans eventually brought him to see the Dental and Oral Surgery team at NorthStar VETS around five months of age. A multi-step plan was put into place to correct his most severe issues. In one of his first procedures, a CT scan was performed and some damaged teeth were removed. The scan provided additional images of Louie’s mouth and clarified the way for the next phase of surgery. Six weeks later, tissue flaps were developed and a bone membrane was implanted to enclose the hole, and at his four-week recheck, everything was healing nicely!
Veterinary Surgery
All our veterinarians specialize in a specific discipline of veterinary medicine, giving you a one-stop resource for medical and surgical care for your pet. Our capabilities include...
Laser Surgery
Spaying and Neutering

Lab and X-Rays

Laboratory Services
We recommend that you provide preoperative blood work and thoracic radiographs for all non-elective cases, and for elective cases in patients >5 years of age. This information can be brought in by your client, mailed or emailed to us using the referral form. Radiographs should be emailed to [email protected].
X-Ray
At NorthStar VETS, we use digital radiography (DR), a form of imaging in which digital sensors are used instead of traditional photographic film. A digital image-capture device records the image and makes it available as a digital file that can be viewed for interpretation, shared electronically and saved as part of your pet's medical record.
