Small Animal Surgery
Our surgical services address routine and complex procedures, using advanced techniques for spaying, neutering, orthopedic repairs, and soft tissue operations. We emphasize patient safety, pain management, and postoperative care to ensure optimal recovery for cats, dogs, and exotic pets.
Digital Radiology
Digital radiography provides detailed images of bones and internal organs to diagnose fractures, tumors, and organ abnormalities. This non-invasive tool helps us assess conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and gastrointestinal obstructions with minimal radiation exposure for accurate treatment planning.

Questions
Why is my dog vomiting?
Vomiting may result from dietary indiscretion, grass ingestion, or serious issues like intestinal blockages. Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Why is my cat urinating outside the litter box?
Causes include stress, medical issues like urinary infections, or dislike of the litter box. A veterinary checkup is essential to rule out health problems.
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
Typically recommended around 5–6 months to reduce cancer risks and unwanted behaviors. Consult your vet for large-breed dogs' specific timing.
How often should my pet see a vet?
Adult pets need annual exams; puppies, kittens, or seniors require more frequent visits for early detection of health issues.
Is it safe to give pets human medicine?
No—many human meds like ibuprofen are toxic. Always consult a vet for pet-safe alternatives and proper dosing.
What flea and tick prevention works best?
Options include oral, topical, or collar treatments tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and environment. Year-round prevention is recommended in Florida.
