Radioactive Iodine Treatment
Radioactive iodine treatment cures hyperthyroidism in cats by targeting overactive thyroid tissue. This non-invasive procedure requires hospitalization for one week. Our licensed facility ensures safe administration and post-treatment monitoring, with most cats returning to normal thyroid function within a month. Special precautions apply during the two weeks following discharge.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Our surgical suite handles procedures like desexing, cancer removals, and emergency operations. Each patient receives pre-anesthetic blood testing, intravenous fluids, and dedicated pain management. All surgeries are performed by experienced veterinarians with support from specialized nursing staff to ensure optimal recovery.
Diagnostic Services
Advanced diagnostic capabilities include digital radiography and ultrasound for rapid internal organ assessment. In-house lab testing provides immediate results for critical cases. Our SonoSite M-Turbo ultrasound machine enables precise disease identification and emergency diagnostics, supporting accurate treatment planning.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services prevent and treat oral diseases using a Veterinary IM3 dental machine. We perform routine cleanings, extractions, and create homecare plans to reduce plaque buildup. Free dental checks by nurses help develop customized treatment strategies to maintain oral health and prevent systemic complications.
Wellness Programs
Tailored wellness initiatives include the Silver Muzzle Club for senior dogs and Golden Whiskers Club for aging cats. Our Fit Fur Life program promotes weight management, while microchipping services ensure pet identification. Regular check-ups and parasite control reminders support long-term health maintenance.
