Pond/Tank Packages
Our Pond/Tank Packages give fish owners a comprehensive health assessment for their entire aquarium or pond. The package includes a full water quality test, a detailed fish physical exam under sedation, and an expert interpretation of results. By identifying issues early, owners can maintain a balanced ecosystem and extend the life of their aquatic pets.
Water Quality Testing
We conduct thorough water quality analyses covering pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and dissolved oxygen levels. Our technicians provide clear, actionable recommendations to correct any imbalances. This proactive testing helps prevent disease outbreaks and keeps your fish thriving in a stable environment.
Fish Physical Exams
All fish receive a meticulous physical exam under sedation to minimize stress and ensure accurate assessment. Our exam protocol evaluates external parasites, organ health, and behavioral indicators to detect early signs of disease. The results guide tailored treatment plans that improve fish longevity, restore equilibrium, and build owner confidence.
Advanced Diagnostics
Our mobile practice offers CT and Xray imaging for precise internal assessments. These advanced diagnostics identify hidden bone fractures, organ anomalies, and internal infections. Coupled with immediate treatment, they enable swift recovery, reduce the need for invasive procedures, and restore normal function.
Surgery
When necessary, we perform pondside surgeries with precision, meticulous technique, and compassionate care. Our surgical team uses stateoftheart anesthesia protocols to ensure patient safety and minimize recovery time. Postoperative care instructions empower owners to support rapid healing, monitor progress, and maintain longterm health.
