Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services:

Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.

Surgical Services:

Our state-of-the-art surgical suite provides for the performance of a wide variety of surgical procedures, including spays, neuters, declaws, growth removals, exploratory surgery, and some orthopedic surgery. Pain medications are administered prior to surgery and sent home in most cases to reduce post-op pain. Patients are  closely monitored using ECG and respiratory monitoring during surgery in a sterile controlled environment. A Certified Veterinary Technician, or veterinary nurse, monitors the surgery patient through out the procedure and during recovery.

Anesthesia:

We utilize a balanced anesthesia approach, with an individually tailored anesthesia plan for each patient. Patients receive pre-anesthesia medications that give preemptive pain relief, and that allow us to lower the dose of general anesthetics, giving us a bigger margin of safety.  All surgeries requiring anesthetic gas are done using Sevoflorane. Sevoflorane is a new type of gas anesthetic that provides a shorter recovery from anesthesia. Propofol is used as an induction agent, which provides a safer induction and a faster recovery for patients. Decreasing the amount of time and stress when patients are going under or waking up from anesthesia reduces the risk to your pet. Using our modern equipment, the patient's vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Radiology Services:

Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders. In addition to standard films, contrast studies and OFA films are available.
