Facilities

The hospital is wheelchair accessible with an expansive waiting area and two individual examination rooms for consultations with the Veterinarian.

We have three climate controlled areas for accommodating all varities of animals with a recovery-ICU and a dedicated cat ward.

For surgery or dentistry requiring anesthesia, we employ Isoflurane inhalation anesthetic with intra operative monitoring or respiration, core tempature, oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry), cardiac electrical activity (ECG) and peripheral blood pressure.

As our animal friends cannot speak or describe their comforts/discomforts/illness/aches and ailments, multi modal diagnostics are often employed. Moving in sequence from least to more invasive procedures, we follow a logical path in diagnosing conditions always beginning with "at first do no harm". Knowing that common things occur commonly, rarely, less common things occur and therefore we must look when the circumstances require.

For laboratory testing, we have access to full laboratory services including blood testing, cytology, histopathology, microbiology, parasitology as well as medical or diagnostic specialists are accessed on the internet via telemedicine. A wide variety of soft tissue surgery is done at the hospital such as biopsies, mass excisions or bowel resections as well as orthopaedic procedures such as fracture or anterior curciate ligament repair (ACL). Radiographs or X-rays are taken in house, digitally, with use of a high frequency generator making possible imaging of the smallest pocket pet to the largest dog. Minimally invasive ultrasound exams are also performed at the hospital, abdominal soft tissue scanning as well as echocardiography or ultrasound of the heart. Other medical equipment on hand a digital tonopen for measurement of intra ocular pressure and radiosurgery and electro cautery for soft tissue procedures.

The hospital also provides day-care, short or longer stay boarding as well as full bathing and grooming facilities. Our support staff care for all hospitalized animals, whether they are recovering from surgery or simply staying over night. Animals may be taken outside under supervision to relieve themselves several times a day as well as arrangements can be made with an external "dog walker" if a client wishes. Regardless of cause, all animals admitted to the hospital are monitored closely by support staff who report to the veterinarian, who is on duty every day.
