Radiology & Ultrasound
Report
Radiology and ultrasound are non-invasive imaging techniques we use to gather additional information that we are unable to see on a traditional physical exam.
Both techniques are utilized routinely at Meadow Branch Animal Hospital to help further characterize a patient's illness.
Radiology can aid in the diagnosis of fractures, help evaluate the condition of joints, as well as provide some insight on specific digestive issues, and much more.
Ultrasound can be used to take a closer look at specific organs that are vital to your pet's health and aid in diagnosing conditions such as organ enlargement, presence of abdominal fluid, tumors, intestinal wall abnormalities, bladder stones and tumors, and a large variety of abdominal pathologies.

Dentistry
Report
Oral pain, inflammation and infection has a direct short and long term impact on our canine and feline patients' lives.
You may have heard the simple recommendation of a "dental", but the term implies performing various procedures important in improving our patients' oral health, such as comprehensive oral examination, dental radiography, scaling of teeth above and below the gumline, surgical extraction of affected teeth and other abnormal tissue, and polishing.
At our practice, we perform dental procedures under general anesthesia in order to prioritize safety and pain management for the patient and accuracy of our work.
