Comprehensive Emergency Medical Exam

October 1, 2016

A comprehensive medical examination and diagnostic work up are performed to detect and diagnose any serious or potential health issues. A thorough examination is recommended for all pets when there are unexplained changes in their behavior and/or when there are physical symptoms such as vomiting, coughing, skin lesions, a heart murmur, changes in urination, or weight loss.

A thorough medical examination is also recommended for older pets in order to diagnose or detect problems early.
