For your convenience, we stock a selection of the medications most commonly used for your pets. Some medications that are difficult to find we have compounded specifically for our use. Medications that are not available from our hospital can be obtained by prescription from area pharmacies. Our staff is trained to dispense these medications under the supervision of the doctor.
Our hospital uses excellent quality, high titer vaccines that are shipped to us overnight and refrigerated immediately. Proper handling of vaccines is essential to their effectiveness. The vaccination protocols that we follow are based on the latest and best information available.

Laboratory
/Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=14723
The equipment in our laboratory allows us to do a lot of our labwork "in house". This is especially important when working with critically ill or injured animals, allowing the doctor immediate access to critical information. The Vetscan is a fully automated blood chemistry analyzer that can also detect thyroid hormone and electrolyte levels. The Abaxis HMT is for Complete Blood Counts. The doctors can also choose individual blood chemistry tests on the Reflotron. The microscope is used on a daily basis for a number of tasks, such as blood smears, cytology, to find evidence of external parasites, and urine analysis.
If test results are not needed immediately, or if tests that we do not offer are needed, we send our labwork to Idexx Veterinary Laboratories in Denver via overnight courier. They have a staff of veterinarians trained in pathology, microbiology and clinical pathology.

Dental Station

An increasing amount of evidence points to the importance of keeping our pets' mouths free of periodontal disease. Regular teeth cleaning will mean a longer, healthier life for your companion. Your pet will be under general anesthesia for the dental procedure. As is always the case when general anesthesia is used, your pet will be closely monitored to ensure his or her safety. Our ultrasonic scaler does a thorough job of cleaning tartar from the teeth, and most importantly, from under the gumline. The teeth are examined for fractures, cavities or other abnormalities, and any unstable teeth are either treated or removed by the doctor. The teeth are then gently polished to smooth the surface of the enamel which helps prevent a rapid buildup of tartar. The periodontal tissue is thoroughly flushed with a chlorhexadine solution. This works to cut down bacteria and promote tooth and gum health.

Surgical suite
/Images/ViewImage.aspx?maxHeight=300&maxWidth=500&Id=17438
This room is used only for sterile surgical procedures. We do a variety of soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries in this room. We are very well equipped with anesthetic machines, EKGs, Doppler blood pressure and pulse oximetry units, and a carbon dioxide laser. Patient safety and comfort are paramount!! Every surgical patient is kept warm with a variety of hot water blankets and special pads. Each patient is carefully monitored and receives IV fluids before and during the procedure. Pain management is an integral part of our practice.
