Noticing changes in your pet’s behavior or routine? If something feels off, it’s always best to trust your instincts. At Black Mountain Animal Hospital in Rancho Peñasquitos, we recommend scheduling a sick visit if your pet shows any of the following signs:
Your veterinarian will start by reviewing your pet’s medical history and discussing the symptoms you’ve noticed. Understanding the background helps us get to the root of the problem quickly.
We’ll perform a head-to-tail exam based on your pet’s condition. This includes checking vital signs and evaluating all major body systems to pinpoint signs of illness or discomfort.
If your pet’s condition requires further evaluation, we may recommend lab tests, imaging, or other diagnostics (additional fees apply). If advanced care is necessary, we can coordinate referrals to trusted local specialists.
Before you leave, we’ll walk you through your pet’s treatment options, home care instructions, and any recommended follow-up. Medications may be prescribed based on your pet’s needs (separate fee).
If appropriate, we’ll recommend medications, dietary changes, or other treatments to support your pet’s recovery (medications billed separately).
We perform a visual exam of your pet’s teeth and gums to look for signs of dental disease and recommend cleanings when needed.
Our veterinarians provide personalized diet and weight recommendations to support long-term health and energy.
We’ll discuss any behavioral issues and offer expert advice based on your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle.
(Not included in the base exam fee — but commonly added during wellness visits.)
Vaccinations: Core and lifestyle vaccines tailored to your pet’s needs.
Routine Lab Testing: Blood, urine, or fecal tests to catch early signs of disease.
