| Laser Surgery |
|
Laser surgery is a new technology that has many benefits for our patients. With the use of a laser, we are able to minimize pain, decrease swelling, reduce infections and decrease time in the hospital. We are very excited with the results the laser has produced in our patients. All of our patients having a neuter, spay or declaw procedure utilize the benefits of the laser.

| Dental Care |
|
Your cat’s dental health is very important to us. After a thorough examination of your cat’s mouth, a dental cleaning may be recommended. Since dental disease is the most common disease in cats, we strive to keep your cat’s mouth disease free and comfortable. In certain instances, disease of a tooth may require extraction (or removal) of the tooth. We also give instructions on dental home care (brushing your cat’s teeth, dental diets) to prevent dental disease.

| Digital Dental X-rays |
|
Our digital dental x-ray allows us to take a picture of the tooth roots or the part of the tooth under the gum line that we cannot see while looking into your cat’s mouth. This allows us to obtain a complete picture of each and every tooth in your cat’s mouth. Since dental disease in cats often occurs under the gum line, x-rays are vital to detecting tooth decay/dental disease.

Digital X-rays |
|
Our digital x-ray allows us to take detailed pictures or your cat and gives us more information that traditional x-ray units can. In addition, x-rays can be rapidly transmitted electronically to specialists as needed.
|
| Hospitalization |
|
In some instances, hospitalization is needed. Our hospital is equipped with intravenous (IV) fluid pumps, in-house laboratory, a pharmacy, an oxygen cage, and monitoring equipment to follow your cat’s progress while they are hospitalized. Our well-trained and caring staff monitors and treats our patients. We provide a comfortable fleece bed for each cat during their stay with us.
|
| Laboratory |
|
Our hospital is equipped with an in-house laboratory to obtain results from blood tests the same day. We also use an outside laboratory for additional tests as needed.
