Imaging Services
Radiography
Digital radiology is provided for better quality radiographs and quick capture of the images.
Ultrasound
We also offer imaging by ultrasound in addition to radiography. We have several doctors that are skilled in abdominal ultrasound and all are trained in emergency quick scan medicine.
Surgical Services
Our hospital recommends pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assure the safety of your pet during surgery. Modern gas inhalation anesthesia, along with both respiratory and cardiac monitoring equipment are used to ensure the safety of your pet.
Anesthesia
Our doctors and technicians make anesthesia as safe as possible by selecting the best combination of anesthetic drugs for each individual patient. Any patients undergoing anesthesia are highly encouraged to have IV fluids and all pets designated CPR will have an IV port provided for any emergency medicine.
Soft Tissue Surgery
In addition to spay and neuter surgeries, we offer many surgeries not commonly undertaken by some general veterinary practices. These include, but are not limited to, bladder stone removal, removal of objects form the GI tract, intestinal resection and anastamosis, splenectomy (removal of the spleen), nephrectomy (removal of a kidney), all types of hernia repair (umbilical, inguinal, perineal, diaphragmatic), tumor removals, ear surgery and eye surgery.
Orthopedic Surgery
We can repair many but not all broken bones through the use of internal fixation (bone pins and wires) and external fixation (cross pins clamped to an external bar). We also perform many joint stabilization surgeries such as cruciate repair by tightrope fixation. We also do other types of hip and stifle (knee) surgeries.
