To ensure the safest anesthesia for your pet, we utilize a combination of pre-surgical blood screening, circulatory support, state-of-the-art controlled ventilation and gas delivery system. For extensive procedures, the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation are continually monitored.
The yearly exam
When you bring your pet for its yearly vaccinations, the most important aspect of the visit is the annual physical examination. Your pet doesnÂ’t let you know about a problem until it becomes severe and then it is often more difficult and costly to treat.
A proper yearly examination consists of:
-evaluation of general appearance, including body condition and weight, the condition of the coat and skin.
-check for external parasites
-palpation of the superficial lymph nodes
-palpation of the joints
-examination of the oral cavity, including teeth, gums, and oral mucosa
-auscultation of the lungs and heart
-body temperature
-examination of the stool for parasites
-thorough examination of the eyes and ears
-for dogs, checking the blood for heartworms
The result of this thorough examination allows the doctors to recommend proper treatment, dietary measures, and grooming.
We recommend a yearly examination of all pets, including exotics. If your pet is over seven years of age, a geriatric evaluation is also suggested, which may include blood work, radiographs, and an ecg.
