In providing general pet medicine, our veterinary staff is capable of diagnosing and treating a variety of pet medical maladies. Our approach to diagnostic and therapeutic services begins with comprehensive wellness care that helps us establish a thorough understanding of what is normal for your pet. Once your pet is diagnosed with a medical disorder, we will work to educate you and develop a plan for care. Our goal is always to work with you as a team to allow you and your pet increased comfort while maintaining confidence that you are in capable hands. We believe that educated, informed owners make treatment of all conditions more successful. We always strive to keep the lines of communication open to facilitate ongoing care at home. 

As a general practitioner, we can diagnose and treat a variety of health problems. However, if diagnostics or treatment lies outside our veterinary specialty, or requires a veterinary specialist, we may refer you to one of our partnered veterinarians. We work closely with other practices that can further assist you in achieving optimum pet health care.

General pet medicine includes but is not limited the following: 

• Cardiology 
• Dentistry 
• Dermatology 
• Urogenital care
• Gastroenterology
• Oncology 
• Joint and arthritis care 
• Eye and Ear care

If you witness your pet exhibiting any of the following symptoms, please schedule an appointment to have them evaluated, as the condition might require prompt treatment:

• Anxiety that causes noticeable emotional changes 
• Confusion 
• Constipation 
• Coughing 
• Decreased appetite 
• Diarrhea

Prolonged Condition Management

In some instances, medical treatment requires more than just a single day’s visit. Our staff can provide a comfortable setting for pets receiving ongoing care that require hospitalization. We are able to hospitalize most patients overnight and on weekends, although we do not provide 24 hour a day supervision. If we believe they require round the clock supervision, we will refer you to a hospital where this is available.

If you have any questions, or need to schedule a medical visit, please call our office.
