Dentistry
Your furry pal may develop a dental disease early in life. Some signs of dental diseases may include:
Swollen or bleeding gums
Foul breath
Too-much drooling
Depression
Whether or not your pet has any of these symptoms, it is essential to book a dental appointment once a year for your animal friend. Over the period, bacteria may accumulate around your pet’s teeth, leading to soft tissue, bone deterioration, irreversible periodontal disease, loss of teeth and costly oral surgeries. Bacteria may also get into the bloodstream and impact the kidneys, liver, lungs or heart.
Get your pet to our veterinary medical facility for a physical exam. We will catch dental problems early and treat them effectively. We will also show you the right way to brush your pet’s teeth and suggest foods to help combat plaque and tartar buildup.
Radiology (X-rays)
As veterinarians, we need to know what’s going on with a pet. This is why we rely on x-rays to get to the root of the problem and find its probable causes. We rely on imaging technology to diagnose potential problems before they turn severe. Whether it is about bones, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, the genitourinary system or heart, we use the latest digital radiology and other diagnostic tools to understand your pet’s condition quickly.
Our veterinarians are skilled in interpreting radiographs. Pets must remain still during an x-ray to avoid blurry images. We may need to sedate your pet or depend on short-acting general anesthesia for a seamless process. If you have any doubts about our radiology service or need to know what to expect during your pet’s procedure, simply call us to ask.
Cardiology (Heart)
While cardiology issues are more common in older pets, a young pet may not be completely immune to heart diseases. Early diagnosis and the right therapy can maximize your pet's life and even cure acute heart diseases.
Animals born with heart issues, pets with heart valve abnormalities, or rhythm disturbances can risk congestive heart failure. This means that the heart may stop pumping blood effectively. Connect with us if your pet is breathing fast or coughing, losing appetite, tiring quickly, looking weak or refraining from exercise. A physical exam is best to discover many heart problems. We even run additional tests, including ECGs, x-rays and ultrasounds, to precisely recognize the cause of the heart failure or disease.
Medical Assessment
We undertake medical assessments of pets for accurate health diagnoses. Our team starts with the evaluation of your pet’s eyes, ears, and skin and assesses their cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems for any abnormalities.
We also perform blood and urine tests to evaluate your pet’s kidney, liver, pancreas and hormone system, including the adrenal and thyroid glands. Based on your animal friend’s condition, we may recommend more diagnostic tests, such as radiography, endoscopy, ultrasound or biopsy. If you feel something may be bothering your pet, please give us a call to book a medical assessment. Depending on the symptoms, our vet may ask you to bring your pet immediately to our medical facility.
