The physical exam is the foundation of good preventative. In the exam, the veterinarian will examine your pet from "nose to tail". The exam clues the doctor into any potential health issues that might be going on with your pet. The exam, however, is limited by what the veterinarian can touch, see, and feel.
Blood Screening
Blood work allows us to obtain information that cannot be provided on the exam. Our blood panels are juat like the ones you recive from your primary physician. It looks at four componements: numbers and distribution of red and white blood cells (CBC), organ function (chemistry), urine (urinalysis), and heartworm status. If abnormalities are detected, we can intervene early to provide better health outcomes for your pet.
