Having routine exams (at least once a year) allows us to detect any issues or diseases early on and allow for better treatment and/or management. During these exams, we like to ensure your pet is up to date on vaccines to help protect them against illness and disease as much as possible. Discussing deworming and flea/tick prevention is also an important part of these visits.
We offer routine spay and neuter surgery for (but not limited to) dogs, cats, and rabbits. These routine surgeries are highly recommended as they prevent unwanted pregnancies but also to decrease and eliminate certain diseases later in life.
Non-routine surgeries on the ear, eye, skin, and abdominal organs are also frequently performed at the clinic. We also have a surgeon that comes on site to do some orthopedic (bone) surgeries to save our clients a trip to another clinic.
Dental radiographs are an important part of ensuring good oral health. While an animal is under anesthesia this allows us to assess the part of the tooth that is under the gum to ensure that the teeth that look healthy truly are healthy and do not have any underlying disease.
Diet is a very important part of your pet’s health. We have a variety of high-quality diets for all your pet’s needs. Our staff is more than willing to consult you on any dietary questions and find the best diet for your furry family members.
Having direct digital radiography means that we get good quality radiographs faster. Radiographs are a great diagnostic tool that is not invasive to the animal. Sending the radiographs to a radiologist for a second opinion is also available depending on the case.
Ultrasound is a great diagnostic tool that is non-invasive. It helps us assess internal organs/structures as well as to diagnose pregnancy in a variety of species. The clinic has a new in-clinic ultrasound as well as a mobile ultrasound.
We are equipped with mobile digital radiology. This means we are able to perform radiographs and assess the images on farm allowing for prompt diagnosis and treatment plans. In large animals, radiology is typically used in the diagnosis of lameness, prior to joint injections and as part of a pre-purchase examination.
PennHIP stands for the University of Pennsylvania Hip Improvement Program. It is a radiograph technique using multiple views to assess quality of canine hips as well as giving a quantitative measurement of canine hip joint laxity, a hallmark of hip dysplasia. It can be performed as young as 16 weeks (although we recommend waiting until 6 months) and allows breeders to select breeding dogs that are less likely to produce puppies with hip DJD or dysplasia. The radiographs are taken under sedation by a trained and certified veterinarian and then sent to Antech Imaging Services (AIS) to be evaluated.
OFA stands for the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals and it is a database that aims to reduce the incidence of many genetic diseases (hips, elbows, eyes, teeth, heart, and so much more). It is a great tool for veterinarians, breeders, and prospective owners. They offer recommendations for health testing based on breed and what is the most common genetic issues in that breed. Breeders can check the database to check health status of prospective breeding mates to ensure they are making the best potential matches to minimize or eliminate genetic issues in their progeny.
