We are proud to announce that we are updating our radiology department to a state of the art digital system produced by Eklin medical systems! Digital radiography has become the standard of care in human medicine and veterinary medicine is quickly following. This will enable us to obtain high quality images in a fraction of the time, shortening anesthetic requirements and enabling us to send films to radiology specialists for consultation if needed. In addition we will have several options available to magnify images, invert white and black, increase or decrease contrast and in general manipulate images to improve their diagnostic quality resulting in better care for your much loved hairy family members. We look forward to showing off our new capabilities and sending digital copies of your pets radiographs with you to share with friends and families.

I reported back in October 2007 on Sandy Wood. Sandy needed surgery for the removal of an intestinal tumor. I am happy to report that at last inquiry Sandy is doing well and feeling fine. The Wood family has decided not to pursue aggressive chemotherapy. It has been 8 months since her surgery and we hope she continues to do well! Sandy is shown here with Christy, one of our very capable veterinary assistants.

Proheart, the injectable six month heartworm prevention is coming back on the market after having been voluntarily recalled several years ago. There are several specific conditions and procedures which must be followed before it can be administered, so check with us while you are in for regular visits and we can discuss with you whether your dog is eligible to receive this form of heartworm preventative.
