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.
