Diagnostic and therapeutic services

Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets’ complete health care needs.

Laser surgery

We were the first clinic in Southern Illinois to offer laser surgery. Laser surgery is less painful, causes less bleeding, less discomfort, a reduced chance of infection, and in most cases, a quicker recovery and return to normal activities.

Laser therapy

Reduce pain, improve mobility, promote healing, enhance your pet’s quality of life. All of this without drugs, surgery, or side effects.

Anesthesia

We utilize the safest available anesthetics to provide an extra margin of safety, especially for our older or high-risk patients. Using the most modern equipment, the patient’s vital signs are monitored during all anesthetic procedures.

Specialist consults

We offer referrals to board-certified specialists who perform more advanced diagnostic procedures and help us with the diagnosis of more complicated cases.

Radiology services

Our on-site, Digital X-ray equipment allows quicker, more precise x-rays with less exposure to your pet than conventional equipment. It also gives us the ability to easily burn images onto CD’s or email them for consultation with a board-certified radiologist.

Dentistry

Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, dental X-rays, tooth extractions and minor oral surgery.
