Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary services treat critical injuries, sudden illnesses, and trauma cases with immediate triage and stabilization. Experienced staff handle life-threatening conditions including bleeding, respiratory distress, poisoning, and severe fractures. We maintain constant communication with primary care veterinarians during emergency treatment.
Orthopedic Surgery
Board-certified surgeons perform specialized procedures for fractures, cruciate ligament tears, hip dysplasia, and joint disorders. We utilize advanced imaging for precise diagnosis and employ techniques like TPLO surgery and external fixation. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring.
CT Scans
High-resolution CT technology enables detailed visualization of internal organs, bones, and soft tissues for accurate diagnosis. We use this imaging for surgical planning, cancer detection, and evaluating complex conditions affecting the thorax, abdomen, and skeletal system in cats and dogs.
