Big Springs Veterinary Hospital

At Big Springs Veterinary Hospital, we know your pet is precious to you.
We appreciate the trust you place in us in caring for your beloved family member.
We don't take that responsibility lightly.
Our doctors and staff are continually updating our skills and medical knowledge.
Just as important, however, is the ongoing relationship that we develop with both you AND your pet.
Maintaining a close relationship with each of our patients' families allows us to provide the most complete veterinary care possible.

A complete, thorough physical exam is the starting point for all medical care.
This allows us to either confirm that your pet is healthy or diagnose any conditions that need attention.
As the doctor examines your pet, she will discuss her findings with you and answer any questions you may have.
Another key aspect of keeping your pet healthy is preventing internal & external parasite infestations in your pet.
As part of your pet's wellness visit, we may screen your pet for intestinal worms, heartworms, fleas, ticks, etc.

Our hospital offers in-house radiology (x-rays) for your pet to diagnose a wide range of conditions.
The addition of digital radiography in January of 2014 has been a tremendous benefit to our practice.
This technology allows us to produce superior quality radiographs while minimizing patient stress.
When necessary, these digital images can be easily transmitted to specialists for consultation or referral.

Prior to surgery, your pet will be thoroughly examined, and the results of any pre-anesthetic testing will be reviewed by your pet's doctor.
Our doctors use the most current anesthetics, surgical methods, and pain medications to provide your pet the safest, most comfortable surgical experience possible.
Anesthetic monitors track patient parameters (heart rate, oxygen levels, respirations, blood pressure, etc.) to add an additional level of safety for your pet.
Patient warming systems keep our patients' body temperature stable during anesthesia & recovery.

Part of keeping your pet healthy is keeping his mouth healthy.
As dental tartar accumulates on your pet's teeth, the bacteria that reside there can spread to your pet's gums (causing gingivitis) or even other organs (kidneys, heart, lungs) causing serious health problems.
Our doctors will recommend a regimen of home care (brushing, water, additives, and/or treats) and regular dental cleanings (under anesthesia in our hospital) to keep your pet in peak condition.
