Routine Medical Care
Routine medical care for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and "pocket pets" (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.) Complete physical examinations are scheduled annually or semi-annually, depending on the species. These examinations, in conjunction with vaccinations, are the best way to keep your pets healthy and detect problems early.

Internal Medicine
Our veterinarians have the expertise, experience, and diagnostic equipment to diagnose and treat any disease or illness that your pet may develop.

Vaccinations
For dogs, cats & ferrets:

• we use the highest quality vaccines available to insure maximum protection and minimal post-vaccinal pain.
• our feline vaccines are state of the art, using recombinant DNA technology in a non-adjuvanted carrier - proven to be the safest available.

Laboratory Testing

• In-house complete blood counts
• In-house organ screening tests - liver, kidney, pancreas, etc.
• Intestinal parasite testing
• Occult heartworm test- the most sensitive test available
• Feline leukemia and F.I.V. testing for cats.
• Urinalysis
• Cytology - tumors, ears, skin
• Allergy testing
• Referral specialized testing, usually with results in 3-5 days.

Laser Surgery

• Seals nerve endings!  Lasers cut tissue with a beam of light, which seals the nerve endings so there is very little pain when they wake up.

• Seals blood vessels!  Lasers also seal blood vessels as they cut so there is usually no need for bandaging after surgery.

• Seals lymphatic vessels!  Lasers seal the lymph vessels in the skin, which nearly eliminates any swelling after surgery.

• A “no touch” delivery system!  Lasers cut without touching which eliminates much of the trauma associated with standard techniques.

• More precise!  Lasers allow the surgeon to be able to perform surgery with more precision.

• Faster recovery!  The usage of the laser for surgery will speed up the recovery of almost any surgical procedure.

Radiology

• Complete X-ray capabilities
• Special procedures
  • barium upper GI studies
  • pneumocystograms
• OFA certification

Opthalmology

• Basic opthalmic examinations including retinal exam, flourescein dye testing and Schirmer tear testing

Ultrasound

• allows non-invasive examination of the organs of the abdomen
• allows visualization of the heart (real time) to assess chamber size, wall thickness, and valve function.
• pregnancy examination
• ultrasound guided biopsy
• Ocular (eye) ultrasound to evaluate retinal detachments as well as intraocular and periorbital anatomy

Anesthesia and Surgery

• Pre-anesthetic blood work is strongly recommended prior to any procedure requiring general anesthesia or sedation for the safety of your pet.
• Sevoflurane, the safest gas inhalation anesthetic currently available, is the cornerstone of our protocol.
• Other quality anesthetics are available, allowing us to tailor the regimen to fit the individual needs of your pet.
• Pulse oximetry is standard procedure, measuring oxygen saturation and pulse throughout the surgical procedure.
• All instruments are steam sterilized for your pet's protection.
