Dentistry
Healthy teeth and gums are key to
your pet's good health. We offer FREE in-hospital dental
consultations with our trained Veterinary Nurses. They'll work with
you to develop a comprehensive plan to improve your pet's health,
starting with good dental hygiene. Regular professional care of
your pet's teeth and gums is necessary for most pets, just as it is
for you. The old, tired adage that eating a dry pet food maintains
healthy teeth just isn't true, any more than eating only dry, hard
food would maintain your teeth without help from a dentist!
Our Veterinary Dental Team is lead by Dr. Mary
Papacek.
General Surgery
All of our Doctors are excellent
soft tissue surgeons. But that's only the start. We offer the
latest in anesthetic and monitoring techniques to make surgery as
safe as possible for your pet, from start to finish. The anesthesia
is carefully calculated, and based on the patient's weight, body
type, and breed. Each surgery patient is under constant supervision
by a highly trained Nurse. Surgical monitoring includes, but is
certainly not limited to, steady monitoring and
record-keeping of the patient's heart rate, respiratory rate,
temperature, pulse oximetry, EKG, and fluid needs. We can
even monitor your pet's blood pressure! And, we offer an
integrated approach to pain management that incorporates elements
of traditional non-steroidal medications, homeopathics, herbal
medicine, and acupuncture. Our Veterinary Surgery Team is
headed by Dr. Mary Papacek.
