Physical
Exams
Examinations of your pet are recommended annually until 8-10 years
of age, after which semi-annual visits are needed. Pets are routinely
given examinations during visits for vaccinations. Current annual
exams are required for vaccinations.
Vaccinations
Puppies and kittens should receive a series of immunizations starting
at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by yearly boosters. Pets kept mainly
indoors need vaccinations also, and may even be more susceptible
to infectious diseases, due to the lack of natural immunity.
Birds
in parrot family should be tested & vaccinated for Polyoma before
boarding at any facility or being exposed to out of household birds.
Dogs
are vaccinated for canine distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, corona
virus, parainfluenza, rabies, bordatella, and rattlesnake bites
if you go hiking with your pet. Yearly boosters are recommended.
Vaccines
for Kennel Cough (Bordatella) are recommended if your dog is to
be boarded at a kennel, taken to the dog park, or goes to the groomer.
Cats
are vaccinated for feline distemper, feline leukemia, rhinotracheitis,
calicivirus and rabies. Yearly boosters are recommended.
Routine
Dentistry
Learn more about the importance of good pet dental care, and how bacteria
in the mouth can cause serious health problems for pets. Without good
dental care, most dogs and cats will show signs of oral disease by age
three, which puts them at risk for other diseases. For more information
on dental care, please visit www.petdental.com.
Geriatric
Care
The doctor may recommend a Geriatric workup for your older pet, which
could include a blood chemistry profile, urinalysis, chest x-ray, EKG and complete
physical. Pre-surgical examinations along with an EKG and blood profile
are routinely performed on any older pet prior to surgery or dentistry.
Radiology
Radiology is an important diagnostic aid in a veterinary practice. Our
modern x-ray machine and automatic processor provide us with accurate
and speedy results which help in the diagnosis of diseases and trauma.
Laboratory
Our laboratory provides important diagnostic information in treating
illnesses in pets and in determining whether your pet is in top-notch
shape or not. Chemistry panels, complete blood counts (CBC), urinalysis,
fecal examinations, Feline Leukemia/FIV tests, parvo virus, and
heartworm tests are just some of the procedures performed in our
laboratory.
Surgery
Our surgical suite is state-of-the-art with the newest, safest anesthetic
machines, heating pads, and a positive pressure ventilation system. All
anesthetized animals are monitored with a cardiac/respiratory monitor
to insure a safe and speedy procedure and recovery.
