and orthopedic work.

| Dr.
Ulbrich has a particular interest in these
2 fields. Pets with cancer require special
care and can be successfully treated
with various methods. Chemotherapy
for our fellow friends has evolved dramatically
over the last few years and can significantly improve
their quality of life.

Dentistry |
| |
|
Nearly 80% of dogs and cats have
some form of dental disease. Dental
problems can lead to severe health threats
such as systemic infections affecting
the lungs and heart.
Proper care is essential! Brushing
your pet's teeth, proper diet and
routine checks are important. Many pets require
a "dental cleaning". Your
pet is lightly anaesthetized using isoflurane
gas and the teeth are root planed,
scaled and polished.

Laser Surgery
|
Less Pain for your
Pet!
Lasers surgery has been widely accepted as a higher standard
of care in human medicine for over 30 years. It presents
a host of benefits over traditional surgery, and in many
procedures, the can replace the scalpel entirely.
What are the benefits
of laser surgery?
Less Pain:
The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts." As
a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more
comfortable after surgery.
Less Bleeding:
The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. Because
there is less bleeding, surgery is often completed more
quickly, reducing the amount of time your pet will be under
anesthesia. This further reduces potential complications.
Reduced Swelling & Infection:
Physical contact between the laser and the surgical region
is never established, thus eliminating the crushing, tearing
and bruising of tissue associated with traditional surgical
method-s. Additionally, the CO2 laser energy acts as an
antimicrobial/antibacterial agent by producing high temperatures,
effectively eliminating microorganisms.
Quick return to normal activities:
Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort
and a better course of healing.

X-rays are a non-invasive
form to diagnose certain problems.
We can perform special radiographic techniques
such as barium studies and cystograms.
We are also one of the few veterinary hospitals
in the area with an endoscope. Endoscopy
gives us a live picture of the
inside of the digestive and respiratory
tract. It is a minimally invasive procedure
enabling us to diagnose many conditions.
