Examinations

​

• We recommend routine annual exams on all canine, feline, rabbit and guinea pig patients.

• Many of the diseases we see are preventable or best treated if caught at an early stage.

• Geriatric patients may need to be seen as often as every 3-6 months to best monitor their changing bodies.

Vaccinations

​

• We base our vaccine protocols on the recommendation of national veterinary boards such as the American Animal Hospital Association and the Feline Board of Practitioners.

• Each patient has a vaccine schedule tailored to that patient that depends on risk factors and the health of that patient.

• Vaccines are only given with owner consent.

Surgery

​

• Common surgeries include spays, neuters, tumor removal, foreign body removal, cystotomies, and abdominal exploratories.  

• Special cases may necessitate referral to a specialist.

• Occasionally we have a specialist come to our hospital to perform surgery.

 

​

Ultrasound

​

• We routinely have outside specialists come to perform ultrasounds and endoscopy for our patients.

• These specialists are board certified in internal medicine, so they provide us for a valuable second opinion on difficult cases.

Nutrition
