Services

Radnor Veterinary hospital prides itself on offering quality medical and surgical care for all stages of your pet's life. Keep reading to find out about all the services we offer you and your beloved pet!

Preventative Care "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Of course everyone has heard this cliché, but exactly what does it mean when it comes to your pet's health? Regular medical check-ups, vaccinations, and dental care as as important to the health of your pet as they are to the health of your children or yourself! At Radnor, we can clean and polish your pet's teeth, help keep him safe from heartworm disease by heartworm testing and treating with preventative medications, check his vaccine titers to make sure he is protected, prevent unwanted breeding and other health problems with spay and neuter surgery, as well as provide you with information on a vast range of pet care subjects. We also offer the flea and tick control products and information needed to keep your pets, human family members, and your house free from these nasty biting pests! 

Diagnostic Testing  If your pet is sick, you want to be able to find out what's wrong and start fixing it as soon as possible! At Radnor Veterinary Hospital, we have the ability to perform basic blood chemistry panels, complete blood counts, platelet counts, fecal parasite checks, examination of urine, testing for feline leukemia virus (FeLV),  feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), canine and feline heartworm disease, and many dermatological conditions at our hospital, saving time and allowing us to treat your pet faster. Cytology and gram stains can also be performed to hasten diagnosis and treatment. We also have access to excellent outside labs for more specialized testing.

We have the capability to produce quality radiographs (X-rays) in-house, as well as access to a board-certified specialist who can come to our hospital to perform chest/abdominal ultrasound exams. These radiographs can be reviewed by a local board-certified radiologist in particularly complex cases. 

Dental Care Did you know that dental disease is the number one health problem  affecting dogs and cats ?  It is estimated that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by age three! Although our pets are not as susceptible to cavities as we are, dental disease can still have serious, even lethal, consequences for our animals. Dental disease has been linked to problems with the heart, kidneys, and other internal organs in dogs and cats. At Radnor, we can take care of dental problems both mild and severe, including thoroughly cleaning and polishing your cat or dog's teeth, fluoride treatments, or extracting diseased teeth. We can also show you how to brush your dog or cat's teeth (It's not as hard as you may think!) to help keep them healthier! 

Soft tissue and orthopedic surgery Here at Radnor, our vets really enjoy surgery and we can take care of a large variety of your pet's surgical needs, from spays and neuters to correction of stomach dilation and torsion to fracture management on animals of all types and beak repair in birds. Our vets also perform hip and knee surgery. You can be content knowing that your pets will receive high quality surgical care from the doctors that you also trust for all of the rest of their care. We also employ ECG, pulse oximetry, technician monitoring, intravenous fluids, and pre-anesthetic blood screening to make the anesthesia for the procedure as low a risk to the patient as possible.

Endoscopic Surgery  Endoscopy is the use of long "telescope-like" tubes to see within areas of the body such as the abdomen, intestines, lungs and other sites using no surgical incision, or a very small one. Colonoscopy, bronchoscophy, and other other endoscopic procedures are  mainstays of human surgery and are finding common use in veterinary medicine as well. At Radnor, we have several different sizes and types of endoscopes that can be used for a large variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as examining the colon, bladder, and nasal passages. We also perform endoscopic exploratories and internal biopsies in birds. These procedures generally result in better diagnosis, less painful treatment, and quicker recovery periods after the procedure compared to traditional methods or conventional surgery. 

Cardiology Although our pets do not usually get coronary artery disease like people do, many species of animals are prone to various heart conditions. Many of these conditions can be managed to provide the animal with a good length and quality of life. At Radnor, we can perform electrocardiograms (ECG or EKG), use chest x-rays to evaluate the size and shape of the heart, and also perform echocardiograms -- non-invasive sonographic videos of the heart as it beats. All of this information can be analyzed in-house, or sent to board-certified cardiologists for consultation. 

Boarding for client pets
Space permitting, you can board your pets of all types at our hospital for a weekend or even longer. Standard board for dogs includes three walks a day. We can also do bathing, minor grooming (removing mats), nail trims, and other similar services. We will also make sure that your pet receives any medication that he/she is currently on as well as plenty of TLC.
