Fortunately, pets give us clues such as a drop in
appetite, a change in thirst, or a limp. The veterinarian makes the
diagnoses by getting a complete history of the pet and doing a
thorough exam. In some cases, additional testing -- x-rays,
ultrasound scanning, blood, urine or stool tests -- may be
necessary to complete the diagnosis. After compiling all the
information the vet is then able to recommend an appropriate course
of action. |
Great effort on the part of both doctor and staff is dedicated
to preventative medicine. Every pet should receive a yearly
check-up, good diet, vaccines based on need, parasite control and
regular dental care. For pets over six years, blood testing
and twice yearly check-ups to monitor internal health are
highly recommended. Above all, a veterinary doctor and her staff are dedicated to
maintaining the pet's health to insure the happiness of both pet
and owner.
