For our sick patients we strive to offer a high quality of care utilizing in house diagnostics which allow us to get answers the same day as your appointment. These include in house blood work, x-rays, ultrasound, urinalysis, and cytology. Additionally, we work in conjunction with outside laboratories which allow us to send out other tests we cannot perform in house. We also offer an extensive surgery service including ovariohysterectomy (spay), castration (neuter), gastropexy, mass/tumor removal, various ophthalmic surgical procedures, various abdominal soft tissue surgeries, cesarean section, limb amputations, and dental prophylactic scaling and polishing. All surgery services include a pre-anesthetic exam with the veterinarian, pre-anesthetic blood panel, peri-operative pain management, and post-op cold laser therapy (when appropriate). A trained veterinary technician is dedicated to monitoring your pet while under anesthesia using a pulse-ox, continuous ECG, continuous blood pressure monitoring, and internal body temperature. All surgical patients are monitoring in recovery for a period of up to two hours post-anesthesia. A final exam is performed before discharge is permitted. Additionally, we have an expanding canine physical therapy and rehabilitation portion of our practice. This is a fast growing subset of veterinary medicine that has been proven to be beneficial in anything from post surgical healing and wound care to weight loss, aging patients with arthritic and degenerative changes, and patients with neuromuscular issues.
