The goal of the treatment is keeping the eyesight, as well as assuring comfort for the eyes of your pet.
Many of the eye diseases can be treated with medications, but sometimes surgical intervention is also necessary. Nova Veterinary Clinic is the only vet clinic in Bulgaria with a complete ophthalmologic center, fully equipped for diagnosis and treatment of all eye diseases. We have a specialized ophthalmology examination room and a surgery room equipped with the latest equipment – a surgical microscope, cataract surgery machine and so on.
At Nova Veterinary Clinic we perform the following routine and specialized surgical procedures:
- Eye surgery;
- Soft tissue surgery;
- Orthopedic surgery;
- Onco surgery;
- Neurosurgery;
- Undoubtedly you, as pet owners, are worried about the stress and pain your pet will go through before, during and after the surgical intervention.
The video endoscope is equipped with a set of different biopsy clips (tissue samples can be collected with the endoscope and analyzed by a pathophysiologist for a more accurate diagnosis)
Vaccination
The dogs in Bulgaria are vaccinated for the following viral diseases: Distemper, Infectious Hepatitis, Parvovirosis, Parainfluenza, kennel cough, Leptospirosis, and rabies. The vaccination of the cats is against Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia, Feline leukemia, chlamydia felis, and rabies.
The small puppies and kittens have received some immunity from their mothers, but it is not enough to save them from the dangerous virus infections that they can easily get. The treatment of patients with such a weak immune system is often unsuccessful. Our suggestion is to take the necessary precautions and vaccinate the young animals until they build up a strong immunity.
After the startup vaccination scheme (consisting of 3 vaccines for the dogs and 2 for the cats) only a yearly revaccination is needed so that that defense against the infections is strengthened.
Do not underestimate our advice for full quarantine of the puppy or kitten before the vaccinations – it takes only a split second for the virus to contaminate the young organism. Letting the dog or cat out even for just a quick play may put its life at risk.
Our laboratory is equipped with complete blood count analyzer, complete urine analysis, microbiological and cytological examinations. The correct diagnosis is crucial for the effectiveness of the treatment and its success.
Here we can also perform hormone tests for thyroid gland problems, cortisol levels, male and female sex hormones, blood sugar levels and follow up of patients with diabetes.
The presurgical blood panels, which we analyze before each surgical intervention, give us information about the condition of each organ, the level of hydration and the presence of anemia. Thus we evaluate the level of risk from the anesthesia and choose the most appropriate scheme for the patient.
The most common reason for the owners to bring their pet to a vet dentist is cleaning the tartar from the teeth with ultrasound, followed by teeth polishing with special polishing paste. Another very common problem is the so-called polydontia, which occurs when the baby teeth remain attached together with the adult teeth.
Speaking of internal diseases in the pets, there is a very important fact we would like to share with you – nature didn’t spare them from diseases at all, and they, just like us, suffer from all kinds of diseases. The owner plays the major role in following the condition of the pet – looking for any signs of change in its general condition and behavior. The symptoms that the owner will share with the vet are very important for the correct and timely diagnosis, leading to a faster healing process. No matter what the type of the disease is – inflammatory, acute or chronicle – the owner is the one who can take over the control of the pet’s health and make sure it is treated properly and on time.
The causes for the dermatological diseases in the cats and dogs are numerous and their exact identification is crucial for the correct treatment. The problems may be caused by parasites, bacteria, hormones, viruses, allergies or autoimmune, and they often give us a clue for the state of the internal organs and systems.

Every doctor believes that we need to use new methods of diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

If your exotic pet shows any signs of a disease – do not hesitate and don’t waste time – bring him to the vet. The faster the problem is found, the better the chances are to solve it. We will perform a complete checkup and offer from a wide range of diagnostic tests, blood tests, ultrasound, and x-ray. We offer different dental services as well as surgeries, if necessary.
Combing of the dogs and cats
The daily combing of your pet is an important part of the care for your pet. No matter if it is with short or long hair, the regular combing removes the dead hairs that normally shed.
The combing improves the thermal regulation of the body – for better cooling in the summer and more warmth in the winter. It is wrong to cut all the hair of the animal during the summer, because that may lead to overheating or even a heat stroke. You also shouldn’t allow the hair to become completely tangled – that will force you to cut it to the skin.
Due to the fact that both young and adult pets may suffer from cardiovascular diseases, we, as veterinarians, are obliged to regularly monitor for signs of such problems.
Performing a thorough examination is an important aspect of the yearly visit for preventive care, as well as before performing planned or urgent anesthesiological procedures.
One of the more common orthopedic problems in small animals is a rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in the knee, which is the number-one cause of hind-limb lameness in the dog. Another common condition is hip dysplasia. We perform corrective osteotomy for those cases which require surgery.
