Medical Services

Wellness Exams and Vaccinations

Nothing is more important for the well-being of your pet than the annual (semi-annual for geriatric pets) wellness examination. This visit gives our doctors an opportunity to discuss many topics critical to keeping your pet active and pain free for as long as possible. In addition to a thorough physical examination, our doctors and staff discuss nutrition, dental care, parasite control, developmental problems, allergies, and chronic disease problems, such as arthritis, that your pet may face with age. We often recommend early detection blood work to help us detect and treat problems in the early stages, before they become serious and possibly life-threatening. At Meadow Hills Veterinary Center, we strongly believe that optimum health for your pet can only be achieved when the pet's owner/guardian and veterinarian work in concert to serve the pet's best interests.

Medical Treatment

Whether your pet requires a few injections or intensive care with IV pump therapy and oxygen, we provide the highest quality medical care with up-to-date monitoring equipment.

Electrocardiography

EKGs are performed in-house at Meadow Hills. Cardiopet, a veterinary cardiology consultation service, is available to interpret EKGs when needed.

Hospitalization

Our high doctor-to-staff ratio ensures consistent monitoring for your pet's well-being and comfort.

Endoscopy

Video endoscopy is invaluable for cases which require in-depth exploration of the ears, esophagus, stomach, colon, and deep wounds or for biopsies of major abdominal organs.

Surgery

Elective surgeries such as spays, neuters, de-claws and lump removals receive the same high quality care and careful anesthetic monitoring as an exploratory laparotomy or a complicated orthopedic surgery. MHVC now uses sevoflurane when a gas anesthetic is required for a surgical procedure. Sevoflurane is the safest gas anesthetic now available in veterinary medicine.

Why choose MHVC for your pet's surgery?

Laser Surgery

We recommend laser surgery for safe, comfortable treatment. In most of our procedures, the laser replaces the scalpel and provides a better alternative to traditional surgery.

Why laser surgery? Read more about it.

In-House Laboratory

Our facilities enable us to perform blood serum chemistry and electrolyte analysis, complete blood counts, urine, stool, and skin evaluations.

Radiology

All radiographs taken at MHVC are evaluated by a board-certified radiologist.

Pharmacy & Nutritional Care

Many prescription medications as well as prescription diets are conveniently available in our pharmacy and nutritional retail areas.

Reproductive Services

Includes ovulation timing, pregnancy testing, and artificial insemination. We also perform frozen semen breedings.

Dental Care

It is extremely important to the long term health of your pet. We can help you prevent and treat dental disease.

Euthanasia

If you face this difficult issue, review these frequently asked questions.

Microchip Identification

A microchip implanted under the skin has become a very popular method of pet identification. The microchip, the size of a pencil lead, is injected under your pet's skin while he is anesthetized. It contains a code with your name, address and telephone number. Most veterinarians and humane societies have readers for the microchips, so you can be located and reunited with your pet.
