Radiographs and ultrasound are painless and noninvasive ways to evaluate organs and bones, allowing us to better understand what is occurring in a pet\u2019s body. In some cases, medical imaging can detect conditions and situations that may otherwise have gone undetected for months or years. Our radiology and ultrasound are conducted by our trained and compassionate staff, making it both safe and effective.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fullwidth flex--column accordian-item__container\">\r\n<h2 class=\"accordian-item\" data-id=\"diet\">Diet and Nutrition<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"category-description diet\">Proper nutrition is one of the easiest ways to keep your pet healthy. At CareVet of Ancient City, we offer individualized nutrition counseling and customize a recommendation for your unique pet. Our doctors will perform a thorough body-condition evaluation during every physical examination and can give nutritional recommendations based on what we see. We can also provide you with important information on proper serving size, nutrient needs, and feeding strategies for your individual pet.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fullwidth flex--column accordian-item__container\">\r\n<h2 class=\"accordian-item\" data-id=\"end-of-life\">End of Life Care<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"category-description end-of-life\">We understand that regardless of the situation, saying good-bye to a beloved pet is one of the most difficult situations a pet owner will ever make. Our staff of compassionate, caring professionals can help you through this painful experience. We will work with you to ensure your pet's comfort and dignity during their last days and final moments. We are happy to accommodate special requests and help you make arrangements for cremation or other options.

Labs are essential to detect disease and underlying causes of illness in your pet. We may recommend lab work for a variety of reasons, and some common tests include complete blood counts, urinalysis and chemistry panels. Our laboratory is staffed by experienced veterinary technicians that will ensure your pet\u2019s tests are interpreted quickly and accurately, allowing us to begin your pet's treatment immediately.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fullwidth flex--column accordian-item__container\">\r\n<h2 class=\"accordian-item\" data-id=\"microchipping\">Microchipping<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"category-description microchipping\">Microchipping is the most effective means of identification for your pet. Like vaccinations, microchipping is safe, quick and causes little pain. We always recommend that an ID tag be attached to your pet's collar, but the microchip will serve as an extra layer of protection if an accident does occur. Most veterinary hospitals and shelters are equipped with a handheld microchip scanner that can be used to check for a chip. If the pet has one, it will transmit its ID number to the scanner via a low-frequency radio wave. From there, they can retrieve the pet owner\u2019s contact information from the manufacturer and call the owner.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fullwidth flex--column accordian-item__container\">\r\n<h2 class=\"accordian-item\" data-id=\"parasite-prevention\">Parasite Prevention and Control<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"category-description parasite-prevention\">Parasites can pose a variety of health concerns for your pets and your family, but we can help you develop a prevention routine to keep everyone safe. At CareVet of Ancient City, we recommend keeping your pets on year-round prevention to stop pests before they become a problem. <br><br>Common parasites include fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms. During your pet\u2019s annual exam, we will test your pet for parasites with a thorough physical exam, a fecal test, and a blood test.

Pets should begin their vaccinations between 6 and 12 weeks of age and require boosters throughout their life. Many common diseases can easily be prevented by vaccinating your pet. <br><br>Core vaccines, or essential vaccines, for canines include rabies and DAPP. Core vaccines for felines include rabies and FVRCP. Depending on your geographical area and pet\u2019s exposure, you may also consider optional, non-core vaccines.

During this procedure, different wavelengths and outputs of low-level light are applied directly to a targeted area. The body tissue then absorbs the light. The red and near-infrared light causes a reaction, and the damaged cells respond with a physiological reaction that promotes regeneration.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"fullwidth flex--column accordian-item__container\">\r\n<h2 class=\"accordian-item\" data-id=\"pharmacy\">Complete Pharmacy<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"category-description pharmacy\">CareVet of Ancient City offers a full-service pharmacy so you can easily purchase your pet\u2019s preventative and medication during your visit.
