Veterinary Services


* Wellness Exams:  Vaccinations are only one component of a preventative health program that attempts to meet the health care needs of your pet.  More than fifty different conditions can be seen in a thorough physical exam by the veterinarian.  After a physical exam and consultation with the veterinarian, we can create an individualized treatment plan the would help to ensure your pets health as it ages.

* Vaccines/Immunizations: Vaccines are an important preventative health measure, the purpose being to enhance your pets own immunity to disease.  Vaccines do not guarantee complete protection, but they do provide the safest stimulant to the immune system, enabling your pet to resist disease.  Many immunizations are combined in a single injection for easier administration.  Based on lifestyle, age and health of your pet, the veterinarian can recommend the vaccine protocol to best fit the needs of your pet.  Dr. Janet Lee adheres to the American Animal Hospital Association vaccine guidelines.

*Senior Care Program: As your pet ages its health care needs change.  We offer a specialized senior program to help with any geriatric problems that may arise.  We offer a tailored physical exam and blood analysis which is used to look at your pets overall organ functions and modify the diet you are using to maxamize your pets health.

* Surgical Services: We offer a variety of surgical procedures including sterilization, opthalmics, orthopedics and oral surgery.  Dr. Janet Lee has over eighteen years of surgical experience and many specialty procedures are available.  All of our surgical services provided require a pre-surgical physical exam.  If your pet has been diagnosed, please provide to medical records at the time of the physical exam.

 


* Anesthesia: General anesthesia is a sleep-like state with generalized muscle relaxation and pain relief.  When your pet is admitted for surgery, pre-anesthetic bloodwork will be completed which greatly reduces the risks of anesthesia by evaluating the health of your pets liver and kidneys and to meet the specific needs of your pet.  There is always a small amount of risk anytime anesthesia is administered, however, we use the safest anesthesia available because it does not cause irregular heartbeat and is quickly expelled from the body.  The pre-surgical exam and bloodwork allows us to proceed with confidence, knowing the anesthetic risk is minimized.

* Radiology: We offer a variety of radiological services, including oral radiographs as well as OFA certification.

* Electrocardiography Services: We work in conjunction with the Veterinary Heart Institute to ensure the latest technology with cardiac specialists.  Routine, emergency, and pre-operative EKG and Blood Pressure readings are available on site.

* Dentistry: Severe dental tartar and decay can lead to other internal complications, such as liver and heart problems.  Animals that have annual dental cleaning live approximately 20% longer than animals that are not treated.  Our dental services include, but are not limited to, a full oral exam by the veterinarian, oral surgery, dental cleaning and tooth extraction.  Under general anesthesia all dental tartar is removed with an ultrasonic scaler and treated as needed.  Teeth are then polished and rinsed with an antibacterial wash.  Palatible toothpaste, brushes and CET Dental Care products are also available in the reception area.

* Pharmacy: We are a full service pharmacy offering all regulartory medications, heartworm prevention, parasite control products, oral care products, medicated shampoos, nutritional suppliments, and behavior modifiers.  We can often have your pets daily medication compounded into the flavor of your pets choice.

* Pain Management: Veterinary patients experience pain under any circumstance in which a human would feel pain.  Uncontrolled pain may lead to prolonged healing while your pet is in our care.  We offer pain relief during surgical procedures, as well as to animals that are in chronic pain, such as arthritis.  With a physical exam and an individualized treatment plan, there are a variety of options to ease your pets discomfort.
