Acupuncture and Vet Herbal Medicine
Report
Acupuncture is the technique of using very fine needles that pierce the skin at specific points in order to treat or prevent disease. Although pets have only recently been treated in the West, horses, cattle and pigs have been treated in China for over 3000 years. Veterinary acupuncture is part of a whole system of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) which invovles diet, Chinese herbal remedies and other techniques.
Clinical Pathology
Report
Clinical pathology involves the laboratory evaluation of blood, bodily fluids or body tissues in order to identify existing disease. Common laboratory tests include blood chemistries, complete blood counts, blood clotting times, urinalysis, faecal tests, biopsy examination, cultures and infectious disease testing.
Dentistry
Report
Just like humans, our pets are vulnerable to gum disease and problems with their teeth. Alarmingly, it is estimated that up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats suffer from some form of dental disease by the age of three. Dental disease typically begins with a build-up of plaque, consisting of bacteria, food particles and saliva components, on the teeth.
Health Checks
Report
Dogs and cats age on average, five to eight times faster than humans. By age two, most pets have already reached adulthood. At age four, many are entering middle age. By age seven, many cats and dogs, particularly larger breed dogs, are entering their senior years. Because pets age so rapidly, major health changes can occur in a short amount of time.
Radiography
Report
Our hospital is fully equipped to take digital radiographs (often called digital x-rays) of your pet. Our veterinarians will discuss your pet's case and conduct a thorough physical examination to determine if your pet requires radiographs. Radiographs are a very important tool to help us diagnose diseases in animals, particularly for conditions involving bones, the chest or abdomen.
