Welcome to our hospital.  You will be greated by one of our client services representatives when you and your pet arrive.  There are dog biscuits and fresh catnip at the front desk for
 our patients.  Please stop by with your pet even when you don't have an appointment to get a treat for your canine or feline companion!  We always love to see our patients!

Digital X-Ray
 



Digital X-Ray is part of our commitment to the most cutting edge diagnostics.
This same digital x-ray machine is used in many human hospitals across the country.






Digital X-Ray

























 digital x-ray


This is a digital x-ray of a cat who has pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) secondary to heart failure.  On traditional x-ray, this "film" could easily be confused with many other conditions.  With digital x-ray the depth of detail you can see in just one exposure leads to a more direct and accurate diagnosis.

 




 digital x-ray  This is a classic x-ray of a linear foreign body in a cat.  A linear foreign body is something that a pet eats that it should not have (like a piece of string or dental floss) and it gets stuck in the intestines causing them to bunch up like you see in this digital x-ray.









 digital x-ray 



This is a digital x-ray of a side or lateral view of the hips of a large breed dog. 









surgery suite



Our surgery suite is equipped with modern patient monitoring equipment.  Since surgery is performed in an aseptic environment, our surgery suite has a separate air exchange system.  We are dedicated to keeping your pet pain-free and nice and warm during surgery.  Licensed veterinary nurses monitor patients throughout surgery and recovery. 

 


ICU(Intensive Care Unit)




Our ICU(Intensive Care Unit) is located at the heart of the hospital.  This allows us to keep a constant eye on critical patients.





 Isolation Unit - Patients with infectious diseases are hospitalized in a separate ward to prevent spread of disease to other pets.  Our staff has been specially trained to prevent cross contamination when working with hospitalized patients.  This ward has it's own ventilation system separate from the rest of the hospital.

Comfort room - This large, sunlit room has been designed to be a little less like a hospital exam room.  It has lights that can dim and some of the comforts of home.  We use this room for consultations and for when it's time to say goodbye to our beloved pets.
