Support Services
Anesthesia & Pain Management: Did you know that pain actually increases inflammation as well as healing time? Our anesthesia and pain management specialists coupled with state-of-the-art anesthetic equipment, most of which is equivalent to what is used in human hospitals, is what sets us apart from other veterinary hospitals.
Blood Donor Program: Sometimes our pets suffer emergencies and require critically needed blood products to aid in their recovery. Our furry friends can have anemia (low blood cell count) and clotting problems that require transfusions of red blood cells and/or plasma containing clotting factors. Without these blood products, lives would be lost.
Diagnostic Imaging: In consultation with the oncology, surgery, and medicine services, radiologists participate heavily in the diagnostic process. Our diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology service uses CT, DR (digital radiography), fluoroscopy, MRI, nuclear imaging and ultrasound to diagnose cancer, lameness, and many other medical conditions.
Laboratory: Clinical and anatomic pathology testing is available in the following areas: hematology, coagulation, cytology, clinical chemistry, endocrinology, urinalysis, microbiology, immunology, parasitology, necropsy (autopsy), and biopsy.
