LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS
Laboratory testing is critically important to the management of ill and injured patients, as well as prophylactic preanesthetic evaluations. Because prompt results are extremely beneficial, sophisticated equipment is maintained on the premises. Complete blood counts, chemistry panels, electrolytes, urinalyses, canine occult heartworm tests and feline leukemia and aids tests are all run routinely. In addition, cortisol tests, feline thyroid levels, and cytology of ear swabs, feces, skin scrapes, and fine needle aspirates of growths can all be processed and evaluated immediately. More specialized testing such as histopathology or biopsy of abnormal tissue and body fluid cultures are run in Gainesville at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine Hospital. Canine thyroid levels and feline heartworm tests are sent to specialty laboratories.

RADIOLOGY AND ULTRASOUND
Radiographs have always been an important diagnostic tool. These images represent comparative densities and shapes of internal structures, which help our veterinarians evaluate bones and internal cavities and organs. Ultrasound - another form of non-invasive imaging - is available at Oaks. This technology uses sound waves to examine internal organs and their motility, including fetuses during pregnancy.

INTERNAL MEDICINE
Diagnosis and treatment of disease is an important aspect of veterinary medicine. Our doctors treat a broad range of medical problems, including those of the skin (dermatology), eyes (ophthalmology), ears, heart (cardiology), respiratory system, GI (gastroentology), neurology, tumors (oncology)...in other words, most of the body.

When a problem requires specialty care, our doctors will advise you about referral services and help with scheduling and transfer of records.

SURGERY and ANESTHESIA
Surgical services are performed daily using safe and patient-specific anesthesia. Each hospital has a well-equipped and separate operating room where sterile technique is carefully utilized. Surgeons prepare with disinfectant scrubbing, and wear protective caps, masks and gowns. Instruments are sterilized in an autoclave and used for single procedures.

DENTISTRY
Dentistry has become one of the most common anesthetic procedures performed. It is enormously important to the health of our patients - dental infections are painful, and associated bacterial infection may spread to internal organs such as the heart and kidneys. Dental prophylaxis and extractions are performed under general anesthesia. A routine dental cleaning includes scaling with an ultrasonic device, application of a revealing stain to identify residual tartar - which is subsequently removed, polishing to leave a smooth non-adherent surface, and a fluoride treatment.

NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
We are what we eat - this applies to our pets, too! Many advances have been made in companion animal nutrition. Balanced diets using excellent quality ingredients are vital to good health and can help prevent medical problems. Species, breed, age, activity and medical conditions determine individual nutritional needs. Prescription diets can be used as an adjunct to medical treatment, from the more obvious weight management issues to control of kidney or heart disease.

BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING
Cats and dogs frequently have behavioral problems. In cats, failure to use the litter box - termed inappropriate elimination - is a common and distressing situation. Dogs are often seen for thunderstorm phobias, separation anxiety or aggression. By consultation and medical testing, we can determine a specific diagnosis and initiate treatment with medication and behavioral conditioning. Many behavior problems can be controlled or cured. For cats, try Feliway Electric Diffuser and for dogs, try D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone). We sell these products at both clinics.Feliway and D.A.P.

PAIN MANAGEMENT
Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under much the same circumstances as people. Arthritis, injury, disease and surgery can all require pain management. Recognizing and treating pain is a hallmark of good patient care.
