Physical Examinations
Physical examinations are the first step to detect a problem in its early stages. It is also the best way to communicate with your veterinarian to better understand what preventative care is best for your pet.
Diagnostics
Diagnostics are an essential part of treating and trying to find out what is wrong with your pet.
- Complete Blood Count
- Chemistry Panel
- Radiographs
- Cytology / Biopsy
- Cultures
- Eyes: corneal stain, intraocular pressure checks, Schirmer Tear Tests
- Echocardiograms (performed by a traveling ultrasonographer)
- Abdominal Ultrasounds (performed by a traveling ultrasonographer)
Surgery (Soft Tissue)
We provide a range of surgical services at Pleasure Island Animal Hospital. Surgery starts with a pre-surgical examination where post operative care, cost of procedures, other surgical planning can be discussed with the doctor. Surgical patients are assessed to see what pre-operative tests may need to be performed prior to anesthesia & surgery.
Dental Cleanings
Appropriate dental care in pets can be just as important as it is in people. Signs of dental issues can include: bad breath, red or swollen gums, pain or bleeding when your pet eats, decreased appetite or difficulty eating.
Dental health begins at home with routine daily care. Dental cleanings are the second vital part to maintaining good dental health. At Pleasure Island Animal Hospital we perform dental scaling, polishing, and dental extractions (if needed). If you think your pet may have a dental issue, schedule an examination with one of our doctors. (See resources page for at home dental health care tips)
