DENTAL
CARE
Regular professional cleaning is important to maintain your
pet's teeth and general health. We use modern and safe ultrasound
to clean each tooth thoroughly - above and below the gum line.
Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous
tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. We employ
the safest anesthetic protocols to minimize the risks.
EMERGENCY
AND CRITICAL CARE
In any emergency, seconds count. Our experienced staff is
prepared, stocked and equipped to administer the ABCs of basic
life support - Airway, Breathing, Circulation/Cardiac compressions.
Emergency care is offered during regular business hours. In
addition, we use the services of a local, fully staffed emergency
center for after hours and weekends. See After Hours Emergency
Information.
FULLY
STOCKED PHARMACY
We stock a wide range of the best veterinary drugs in the
animal healthcare field.
HYPERTHYROID
TREATMENT
Hyperthyroidism is recognized as the most common endocrine
disorder of cats. Radioactive Iodine is used by a single injection
to cure this disease in 98% of cats. No anesthesia is required
for this treatment and no side effects are associated with
this therapy. We literally wrote the book for this in South
Carolina! As the first in the state to provide this life saving
procedure, we have got it down to a science. See our webpage
at www.thyroidcats.com
IMMUNIZATION
AND WELLNESS CARE
We strive to prevent illness whenever possible. The time and
effort invested in Wellness programs has rewards for both
pets and owners. Our Wellness programs are designed specifically
for your pet and include: Comprehensive physical exam; internal
parasite testing; heartworm and flea control; vaccination
program; spay and neuter package; specialized blood tests
for all life stages; and comprehensive senior pet testing
packages.
INTERNAL
MEDICINE
We cover all areas of internal medicine, including: Cardiology;
Ophthalmology; Neurology; Dermatology; Gastroenterology; Orthopedic
surgery; Oncology; Endocrinology; among others. If and when
a problem is beyond our scope, we have referral relationships
in all specialties to ensure you get the answers you need
for your furry family member.
LASERS
Lasers are a minimally invasive alternative to traditional
surgery. Lasers replace scalpels in many procedures, and are
useful for a wide range of conditions, such as cyst, tumor,
and wart removal, and can even be used in feline declaw surgeries.
Laser procedures result in less pain; less bleeding and less
swelling. They reduce risk of infection and result in less
post-operative discomfort. Our doctors have a great deal of
time and training in the use of surgical lasers. Dr. Senf
has been invited to lecture as well as teach laser surgery
to veterinarians from throughout the southeastern US.
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
Some pets require special food, and all pets benefit from
a balanced diet. Our trained and certified staff is available
to help you choose the right diet for your pet to keep him
or her happy, healthy and active.
PAIN
MANAGEMENT
Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same
circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating
pain in animals is the essence of good patient care. Our veterinarians
have special training to help you help your pet. We feel that
surgical pain management, when done correctly, will significantly
improve surgical recovery. Chronic pain is also a very real
problem for dogs and cats. It is also our duty to our pets
to keep them as pain free as we can.
RADIOLOGY
Radiology - or X-rays - help our veterinarians evaluate muscular-skeletal,
cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive
and urinary systems. We employ state of the art radiographic
techniques to get the answers you need for your pets' well
being. By using Advance Digital Images for our x-rays, we
are able to see your pets’ problems better - thereby
improving our ability to diagnose and treat their problems
better.
SPECIALISTS
Sometimes conditions arise that require veterinarians with
specialized training. Our staff utilizes certified veterinary
cardiologists, dermatologists, oncologists, neurologists,
ophthalmologists, and pathologists when necessary to get the
answers we need. See our Doctors
SURGERY
We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology
from spay/neuter procedures to orthopedic, laser and advanced
soft tissue surgery. All patients are carefully screened for
safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your
pet. Surgical services and facilities include: 4 veterinary
surgeons on staff as well as 3 surgical specialists available
for consultation; fully trained veterinary and technical staff,
to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-the-art procedures
for your pet. Our patients are kept warm and comfortable with
heated water blankets on the surgery tables; we utilize advanced
sterilization techniques; ECG, respiration and oxygen saturation
monitors; intensive after surgery care and full blood testing.
This is an area where compromise can be costly. Our award
winning surgical and intensive care/recovery facilities are
what your pet deserves if or when they must have surgery.
We take great care to minimize pain through advanced pain
management procedures.
ULTRASOUND
This non-invasive, state-of-the-art technology uses sound
waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily
the heart and abdominal organs. Pregnancy exams are also available.
Our doctors have years of advanced training and experience
in this special diagnostic area. We can often get information
that saves your pet from costly and painful diagnostic and
surgical procedures.
