Additional Services

Veterinary Specialist Referrals

By

We routinely act as a referral clinic for many other veterinary clinics within Saskatchewan. We accept referrals for case management/monitoring and surgery as well as for diagnostics such as CT Scans and Ultrasounds. We do not currently offer echocardiogram or endoscopy services.

If you are a veterinarian that is looking to refer a patient to us, please visit our Referral Forms and Services Page

The majority of your pet’s health needs will be met at our practice; however, there are circumstances where a veterinary specialist may be required. Under these circumstances, we may utilize the services of a specialist who is a veterinarian with advanced knowledge in a particular area of veterinary medicine or surgery. In some  cases, specialized equipment is required to perform procedures that are not routinely performed by general veterinary practitioners. Examples of veterinary specialists include ophthalmologists, oncologists, dermatologists etc. In some cases, we utilize board certified Radiologists for interpretation of radiographs and CT scans

Microchip Pet Identification

By

Microchipping has become a very popular and safe way to permanently identify your pet and you as the owner in the unfortunate case that your pet is lost. Microchipping involves placement of a small electronic chip the size and shape of a piece of rice just under the skin in the neck area. A needle is used to inject the chip. The injection is comparable to a regular vaccine injection.

If your pet becomes lost and is transported to a humane society, the humane society will be able to scan your pet for the chip and contact you. The scanner is similar to a scanner found in the grocery store.

We advise you to use this system of identification as well as a collar identification system on your pet.

 

 

Pain Management and Control

By

We know the issue of pain management is of great concern to pet owners today. As in human medicine, we have a variety of medications available to manage your pet’s pain both before and after surgery and in the event of trauma. We would be pleased to discuss the options available to you and your pet under any of the above circumstances. Do not give your pet human pain medications/anti-inflammatories such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, aspirin, etc. unless directed by your veterinarian.
