SERVICES
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. X-rays of great quality can be taken
of any part of the body.
5. In-hospital labwork such as bloodwork
to check kidney and liver values, urine and fecal testing.
6. An outside laboratory, Antech, is used
for all cytology, histopathology, and extensive bloodwork.
7. Heartworm testing for dogs, according
to the American Heartworm Society (http://www.heartwormsociety.org),
should be done annually.
8. Follow-up calls - we routinely call to
check on how treatment plans are going.
9. Surgery - we have a dedicated surgery
suite that we perform spays, neuters, bladder surgery, intestinal surgery, eye
surgery, tumor removals, and more.
10. Pain management - is provided for
each patient that may experience pain.
11. 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.
12. 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.
