We examine his or her vision, hearing, heart and lung functions, test the joints and muscles, palpate the abdomen, along with many other tests.
Your pet benefits greatly from regular wellness examinations. At Tenth Street Animal Hospital, we recommend that all pets receive a complete physical examination at least once a year, though more frequent exams are encouraged.
Regular exams allow us to detect symptoms of disease and illness in your pet and treat them before your pet's quality of life is affected. During an exam, we perform a "nose to tail" evaluation of your pet.
Junior and senior pets receive great care at Tenth Street Animal Hospital, too! Our program for junior and senior pets allows us to detect problems in your pet's health before external symptoms appear.
Breed-specific conditions can be diagnosed early through laboratory testing, radiology, electrocardiograms and cardiac ultrasounds. Vaccination schedules are also reviewed to make sure that your pet is getting all the necessary immunizations for his or her age, environment and risk level.
