The importance of wellness care cannot be overstated. Many ailments that affect your pet may not be noticed right away, and waiting until there is a problem will reduce the change of effective treatment. Because of this, when you bring your pet in to be vaccinated we will perform a full physical examination. Our doctors will assess heart, lungs, joint mobility, skin and coat condition. We will also discuss changes in your pet’s habits. We also ask that you bring a sample of your pet’s feces in with you to be examined for intestinal parasites at least once a year, and when diarrhea occurs.
If you have a senior pet (dogs over seven years old and cats over ten years old) we offer comprehensive blood panels that are specifically designed for older pets. Ask us about senior care when you make your appointment.
Does your pet suffer from stiff, sore joints, or have a hotspot or other slow-healing wound? Oak Knoll Animal Hospital is excited to offer a state-of-the-art treatment for reducing pain and inflammation, the cold laser. Cold laser therapy uses a wavelength of light that penetrates deep tissues to reduce inflammation, to ease pain and promote healing. It can also be used to manage more superficial inflammation in the skin, ears or gums. Treatments are safe and painless. So, whether your pet has painful joints or a hotspot, ask us today to see how this exciting technology might help.
