Comprehensive Emergency Medical Exam

October 1, 2016

A comprehensive medical examination and diagnostic work up are performed to detect and diagnose any serious or potential health issues. A thorough examination is recommended for all pets when there are unexplained changes in their behavior and/or when there are physical symptoms such as vomiting, coughing, skin lesions, a heart murmur, changes in urination, or weight loss.

A thorough medical examination is also recommended for older pets in order to diagnose or detect problems early.

Our experienced veterinary team are trained in the latest techniques and equipment. You can rest assured your pet will be treated with care and compassion during any laboratory or diagnostic procedure.
