Surgery |
|
 |
We offer a well-equipped surgical suite, with laser surgery,
endoscopy, otoscopy, blood pressure and heart rate monitoring,
dental scaling and polishing, dental high-speed hand piece for safe
extraction of teeth as needed. Striving to use balanced, modern
anesthetic protocols to maximize our patients' safety. Intravenous
catheters and fluids are used to maintain a patient's blood pressure
during anesthesia and minimize both immediate and long-term stress
on the body. Analgesic agents are used to manage patients'
postoperative pain and ensure the most comfortable recovery possible
and the quickest return to normal life. |

Diagnostics |
|
 |
For your convenience, Shandon-Wood Animal Clinic is fully equipped
to perform most blood work and urine analyses in-house, as well as
many cytological preparations and bacterial and fungal cultures.
Doctors work closely with outside laboratories to obtain more
advanced blood and tissue studies as needed. We also offer Radiology
and ultrasound to complement the doctor's skills, allowing
non-invasive or minimally invasive diagnostic procedures in many
cases. |

Vaccinations |
|
 |
We recommend that a doctor examine all patients
twice yearly. Patients are carefully evaluated for health
and lifestyle risk factors before vaccinations are administered.
Many patients benefit from twice yearly exams especially older
or special needs patients. We consider this ideal for all
animals. |

Boarding |
|
 |
In the boarding facility, for our canine guests we offer indoor
climate controlled runs where our guests are hand walked twice a day
to an outdoor enclosed exercise area. This is to allow our
guests the comfort of the fresh air as well as to discourage any
break down of house training during their stay. Our feline guests are
offered the opportunity to stay with us at Shandon-Wood in a
designated feline only boarding room, or offered the opportunity to
stay next door at our "cat condos" in our sister clinic, Columbia
Cat Clinic. We also have boarding space for our very young guests if
the doctors feel should be kept in our "puppy room" until they are
old enough to join our more mature guests. Any guest with
special-needs is given medication or monitored by the doctor as
required, so clients with geriatric or ill pets need not worry while
out of town. All boarders are required to be appropriately
vaccinated, and a current vaccination history is kept on record for everyone's safety. Each guest receives personal attention from the
staff daily, and the boarding suites are kept clean and maintained
throughout their stay. |
