Comprehensive Physical Exams
In all pets a comprehensive physical exam is the most important thing we do at their annual wellness visit.
It is vital that we know your pet is free of problems such as heart murmurs, oral diseases, ear and skin infections, fleas and ticks, and abdominal disorders before any vaccine is administered or medication prescribed. It is very important that we treat the entire pet and not stress them unduly if they are not healthy in all respects.
In each pet we give a score to dental health, body condition, and pain score. We also record any problems or diagnoses identified in our database for future retrieval, outcome studies or health alerts or new medication availalblity (see below)
