Clinic Services
Surgeries
Our veterinarians are highly experienced and we have excellent equipment, so most of our surgeries are done in-house. When a case is beyond our expertise, we will refer you to an area specialist.
Dental Services
We believe that our pet's teeth are very important for their overall health. Heart, kidney, and other organ disease can sometimes be linked to periodontal disease, so we recommend cleanings when tarter reaches the gum line. This procedure does require general anesthesia, but we use extremely safe anesthesia. Bloodwork is taken prior to anesthesia, so that we can choose the safest protocol for your pet. Diseased teeth must be extracted, for your pet's health, but we may not be able to identify the extent of the problem until the procedure is underway.
X-Rays
We take our own radiographs (X-Rays) at our facilities. Occasionally a pet will need sedation for proper radiographs, because even slight movement can blur the picture and some of the positioning may be uncomfortable. Our clinic features the latest in Digital X-Ray.
Birds
We are one of the rare hospitals that have the equipment and expertise to treat avian patients. Most of the diagnostics, treatment, and surgery for avian patients are done by our staff, but we occasionally refer to a specialist if the need arises.
Pocket Pets, Exotic pets and Reptiles
We are well equipped and commited to offering the best in services for rabbits, chinchillas,
guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, hedgehogs and sugar gliders.
We see most lizards, turtles, tortoises, and nonvenomous snakes. Dr. Wilson and Dr. Hammond see other exotics too, but call ahead. If we do not know enough about the species, we may need to refer you to a specialist.
Grooming
At Animal and Avian Medical Center, we offer a full service grooming salon. Each
groomer is experienced in all breed dog and cat grooming. Our grooming friends are
our number one priority and we cater to each pet individually. A full groom consists
of a bath, full hair coat brush out, nail trim, ear cleaning and haircut of your
choice.
To serve you better, the Animal and Avian Medical Center grooming service is on an
appointment basis only. Flexible hours in the morning, afternoon and evening are
available. We will do our best to accomodate your schedule and your pet's needs. For
your convienience, we also offer nail trims on a walk-in basis during certain office
hours.
With the assistance of the Animal and Avian Medical Center staff, anxious pets can
be sedated if necessary to reduce stress and improve the quality of a difficult
groom.
It is important to remember that to provide excellent care and protect all of our
pets, all grooming patients must be completely up to date on vaccinations.
Our Animal and Avian Medical Center grooming department will always do their best to
keep your pet looking good! |
