SURGERY

CHECK-UP
As our pets live longer veterinarians are faced with many of the same concerns as our human physician colleagues. Older pets are more prone to organ failure, cancer and oral disease. The Complete Health Profile is part of our effort to avert or lessen the impact of potential problems on your pet's health. The Complete Health Profile is an extension of our regular exam and in addition includes a Blood Chemistry Panel, a Complete Blood Count, an electrocardiogram, a Urinalysis or X-rays and possibly Thyroid Testing.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
It bears repeating that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Routine vaccination against major diseases as well as preventative medications to reduce heartworm and flea infestations are the backbone of illness prevention. |

LABORATORY
Our in house lab has capabilities for extensive blood chemistry testing and for blood counts. In addition we do urinalyses and fecal exams in house. Tests that cannot be run on site are sent to outside labs with results back overnight in some cases. |

DENTISTRY
These photos are typical examples of a dog's mouth before and after cleaning. You can easily see what a dramatic difference we can make with a professional cleaning. Not only do cleaner teeth mean a better smelling pet, but it will reduce the risk of tooth loss due to gingivitis and reduce bacteria which can cause heart and kidney disease. |
