Services
-
Examinations - thorough and compassionate examinations
with attentive listening to our client's concerns and
our patient's problems are what we take pride in providing
as our BEST service.
-
General Anesthesia - when needed we provide general
anesthesia usually with an injectable drug for induction
followed with Isoflurane gas. Anesthetic monitoring
is done with a stethoscope, EKG, and pulse oximeter.
-
Teeth Cleaning (Dentistry) - general anesthesia is
needed to do a thorough and complete teeth cleaning.
We hand scale and use an ultrasonic scaler to remove
all the tartar from all sides of the teeth. Each tooth
is then probed to look for any periodontal pockets to
indicate the tooth is unhealthy. A dental x-ray machine
is used to take x-rays if needed. All teeth are then
polished.
-
X-rays of great quality can be taken of any
part of the body.
-
In-hospital labwork such as bloodwork to check
kidney and liver values, urine and fecal testing.
-
An outside laboratory, Antech, is used for
all cytology, histopathology, and extensive bloodwork.
-
Heartworm testing for dogs, according to the
American Heartworm Society (http://www.heartwormsociety.org),
should be done annually.
-
Follow-up calls - we routinely call to check
on how treatment plans are going.
-
Surgery - we have a dedicated surgery suite that
we perform spays, neuters, bladder surgery, intestinal
surgery, eye surgery, tumor removals, and more.
-
Pain management - is provided for each patient that
may experience pain.
-
Declawing - While declawing is a very controversial
subject, if things are done well the cat should not
have any long-term side effects. The most important
thing about declawing is what is done after the declaw.
Too much activity too soon after the declaw bruises
the end of the bone and therefore causes long-term favoring
of the paw(s). Pain management and cage rest, for 7-14
days post-declaw, are the MOST important things for
a successful declaw.
-
Client education on their pet's health is very important
to us. We spend anywhere from 30-90 minutes with our
clients and patients depending on the depth of the problem.
