Services - Cats

 

We offer the following services for cats:

  • Wellness exams: Our doctors will perform a full physical exam on your pet. Starting with the head, the doctor will look at your pet’s eyes, ears and teeth. She will then listen to your pet’s heart and lungs, palpate the abdomen and examine the skin and coat of your pet.
  • Kitten Exams: Our doctors will perform a full physical exam on your kitten (as described above) and we will give your kitten a complimentary nail trim. You will be sent home with a kitten kit that includes helpful information on how to care for your kitten. In addition, your kitten will also receive a free dose of Advantage Multi.
  • Senior Exams: As your pet ages, his/her health care needs change. There are a variety of conditions and diseases that your pet can face. Some of these include: weight and mobility changes, osteoarthritis, kidney, heart and liver diseases, and hormone disorders. It is important to have your senior pet examined by your veterinarian at least once every 6 months, along with bloodwork annually. Keep in mind that 1 year for your senior pet is equivalent to 5-7 years to a human. 

     

    Your veterinarian will devise a health plan for your pet based on his/her specific needs and concerns. We want to make sure your pet is as healthy on the inside as they appear to be on the outside to give them the best possible outcome.  The health and safety of your pet is our #1 concern.


  • Vaccinations: Vaccinations are a critical component to your pet’s preventative care.Vaccinations will protect your pet from contracting harmful diseases such as distemper, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, rabies and leukemia. Cats should begin vaccines at 6-8 weeks of age and continued through 15 weeks of age, then annually after that.
  • Microchipping: A microchip is an additional identification tool to help you and your pet find his/her way home if ever lost. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and is implanted under the skin, between your pet’s shoulder blades (via injection) and can be read by a scanner. If your pet were to ever be lost; shelters, rescue groups and veterinary hospitals have the ability to scan your pet for a microchip. If they are microchipped, the scanner will display your pet’s identification number, which allow them to contact you.
  • Diagnostic testing: Diagnostics are made up of a wide range of testing including; bloodwork, urinalysis, cytologies, intestinal parasite screening, among a variety of other testing.Routine bloodwork is recommended for all pets, but is especially important for pets over 5 years of age. Your pet’s blood can give us great insight to ensure vital organs are working properly and there are no abnormalities.  The bloodwork includes a complete blood count (CBC) to look for possible infections, anemia, bleeding disorders and other potential dangers.  A biochemistry profile checks liver and kidney values, plus vital electrolytes. Some panels also include a heartworm test, thyroid level and/or urinalysis.

         

          These are good screening tools that can identify problems early on - often    

          making treatment easier and less expensive.  This also gives us a baseline  

          of your pet’s organ function so that we may track patterns of change before

          they potentially become a problem. We want to make sure your pet is as

          healthy on the inside as they appear to be on the outside to give them the

          best possible outcome.  The health and safety of your pet is our #1

          concern.  Remember that six months or one year’s time are drastically

          different for people and pets.

  • General surgeries: Spay, Neuter, Cystotomy, Mass/Tumor removal, front paw declaw, and more
  • Orthopedic surgeries: Femoral Head Osteotomy
  • Professional dental cleanings:Your veterinarian may recommend that your pet have a dental cleaning to improve their oral health and freshen their breath. Nothing feels better than a clean mouth. Imagine not brushing your ownteeth for several years! Remember, pets have teeth, too!

     

    Your pet will spend the day here with us as we perform  a pre-surgical examination. Your pet will have an IV catheter placed and will be placed under anesthesia. They will have their EKG, blood pressure and anesthesia monitored by a licensed  Veterinary Technician.

    Your pets teeth will be cleaned with an ultrasonic scaler, above and
    below the gum line. Teeth will be polished and given a fluoride treatment. Each individual tooth is inspected and documented in your pets medical record. Any broken, loose or unhealthy teeth may be extracted and your pet would be given pain medicine. Antibiotics may also need to be given. After our caring staff helps your pet recover from anesthesia, they usually go home the same night.

          In addition, all pets who get a professional dental cleaning will be rewarded   

          with a FREE home dental care item of your choice!
