What to Expect from a Preventative Care Exam

During a physical exam, we may:

  • Listen to your pet’s heart and lungs
  • Check lymph nodes
  • Check your pet’s pulse
  • Administer an x-ray or ultrasound
  • Discuss your pet’s diet
  • Assess skin, nose, eyes, ears, and mouth

Based on our physical assessment, we may recommend blood tests to evaluate organ function, protein levels, electrolytes, blood cell counts, thyroid levels, urinalysis, heart worm infection, tick borne diseases, and feline infectious diseases. We can administer diagnostic services – like radiology and ultrasound – or provide a referral for advanced imaging – to diagnose any potential issues we observe. We may also recommend diet changes and nutritional supplements to help the skin, heart, nervous system, liver, and joints.

Annual or semi-annual screening for parasites and insect-borne diseases allows for timely treatment if needed and prompts safe and effective measures to prevent those infections.
