care for your pets, including surgery, medical care, vaccinations,
glaucoma screenings, IDEXX-CR 140 digital radiography,
electrocardiography (ECG), in-house laboratory testing, and a full
pharmacy. In addition, we offer a variety of advanced services unique to
this area.
Laser Surgery

We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting new option for safe,
comfortable treatment. The laser can replace the scalpel and provide a
better alternative to traditional surgery. Benefits to laser surgery include:
less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, reduced risk of infection, improved
healing, and a quick return to normal activity. Ask if your pet's procedure
can be done with a laser.
Video Vetscope

We are also pleased to offer Video Vetscope, a hand held video camera which allows us to visualize
and show you various hard to see body cavities on your pet, such as the ear canals and mouth. Color
images can be stored on our computers as part of your pet's medical record and printed as a keepsake
for you to take home and share with friends and family.
Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound imaging allows our doctors to visualize internal structures and organs which are unable to be
imaged or are difficult to image with traditional x-rays. It also allows us see inside organs such as the
liver, kidneys, heart, etc. in order to precisely evaluate patients with possible conditions affecting these
organs.  Most importantly, the ultrasound is non-invasive (i.e. it may help prevent surgery in some
instances by allowing us to collect information that might otherwise only be obtainable through surgical
methods).
Anesthesia and Advanced Pain Management

At PetDocks Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to
announce that we employ and follow the
guidelines defined by the American College of
Veterinary Anesthesiologist for appropriate
monitoring of anesthetized veterinary patients. We
and position on the treatment of pain in veterinary
patients.

Our pain relief protocols are complete and
multi-modal (meaning we address surgical as well
as other sources of pain at multiple levels) in
order to provide the best and most
comprehensive pain management possible.
Although our pain management protocols are
proactive, they are very safe. In fact, patients that
receive inadequate pain management often have
more complications following surgery and have
longer recovery and healing times.
Senior Pet Wellness
We offer a Senior Wellness Plan for pets 7 years and older. This plan implements proactive blood and urine testing for the purpose of detecting
dog or cat.

Senior Wellness Guidelines from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)  - The AAHA Senior Care Guidelines were developed by a task
force composed of seven expert veterinarians, representing a broad range of specialty fields.  AAHA released the AAHA Senior Care Guidelines for
Dogs and Cats in March 2005, to provide a framework for practitioners dedicated to enhancing the well-being of senior pets
