SURGERY
Our Doctors do routine surgeries Monday through Friday generally in the morning to allow our patients to recover and be discharged by the end of the day.
Major surgeries are performed under general anesthesia either by use of inhalation (isoflurane) or injectible anesthetics. Sterile techiques are used for all surgical procedures. Pain management options are available. We routinely check the ears and teeth and trim the nails at no extra charge at the time of surgery. |

CHECK-UP
Annual examinations to identify problems are recommended. These exams can be conducted at the time of the annual vaccinations or, especially in the older pet, they can be done anytime a change is noted by the owner.
Some things to look for are:
Bad breath
Changes in amount of water consumed or excessive urination
Itching
External parasites seen - fleas, ticks, etc
Lack of appetite
Vomiting and/or diarrhea
Coughing or wheezing
Reluctance to move or pain on movement
Sores or wounds on skin
Excessive tearing or nasal discharge
If you notice any of the above or other problems, or changes in behavior, give us a call and we will set up an appointment to examine your animal. |

In general all puppies and kittens need initial vaccinations starting at about eight weeks of age. After this, annual boosters are recommended. Call us for information.

DENTISTRY
Studies have shown that some of the diseases of internal organs are caused by gingivitis, tartar and rotten teeth. That is why it is important to keep your pet's mouth and teeth healthy!
We do dental prophylaxis under anesthesia. This is done Monday though Friday in the morning and the animal may be discharged in the afternoon.
Give us a call and we can give your pet good breath again!!
