Preventive Services

You can help keep your pet healthy by protecting him or her against parasites. Heartworms, fleas, ticks, and other internal and external parasites are much more than just pests; they can cause life-threatening conditions in your pet—and cause severe, potentially fatal, health problems for you and your family. We will recommend a preventive regimen for your pet based on lifestyle and risk factors. We can also provide advice on keeping your whole household safe from parasitic infection. Set up an appointment with us to discuss parasite prevention, or call us to refill your pet’s medication. Protect your pet and your family today!

Medical Assessment

By

PawPrints

A medical assessment begins with a physical examination whereby your pet’s eyes, ears, skin, cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal and skeletal system are examined for any abnormalities. Blood tests can be performed as necessary to assess the proper functioning of your pet’s kidneys, liver, pancreas, and endocrine system, including the thyroid gland and adrenal glands. Urine tests can detect similar problems. Depending on your pet’s condition, we may recommend further diagnostic tests such as radiography, endoscopy, ultrasound or surgery.

Une évaluation médicale commence par un examen physique de votre animal de compagnie au cours duquel les yeux, les oreilles, la peau, le poil, ainsi que les systèmes cardiovasculaire, neurologique, gastro-intestinal et squelettique sont examinés. Les analyses de sang peuvent être faites au besoin pour évaluer le bon fonctionnement des reins, du foie, du pancréas et du système endocrinien, y compris la glande thyroïde et les glandes surrénales. L’analyse d’urine peut détecter des problèmes similaires. Selon l’état de votre animal, nous pouvons recommander d’autres tests diagnostiques tels que la radiographie, l’endoscopie, l’échographie ou la chirurgie.
