No matter how sick your pet may be, we have the tools to diagnose the above areas to then create a treatment plan for your pet.

Radiology

Radiology – or X-rays – help our veterinarians evaluate musculoskeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems. At Homestead Small Animal, we have the most advanced digital x-ray technology that gives us accurate results within minutes. We also offer digital radiology consults through SignalPET that provides additional information.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging also known as sonography uses high-frequency sound waves that create images of the inside of your pet’s body. Veterinarians can use ultrasound results to diagnose a wide range of conditions. We can use ultrasound to assess abdominal issues, obstetrics, urology, cardiology, and more.

Surgery

We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology. All patients are carefully screened for safety, and anesthetics are specifically tailored to your pet. Surgical services and facilities include a board-certified surgeon available for consultation plus a fully trained veterinary and technical staff to ensure the safest, most efficient, state-of-the-art procedures for your pet. During the procedure, a heated surgery table is provided for greater comfort, advanced sterilization techniques are utilized while monitoring ECG, Pulse Ox, blood pressure, capnography, and intravenous fluid administration. We always strive to provide intense post-op care to ensure adequate pain management and safe recovery from anesthesia.

Pain Management

Veterinary patients feel pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as people do. We know that recognizing and alleviating pain in animals is the essence of good patient care. We have many multi-modal options for both dogs and cats to ensure their pain is adequately managed without causing further harm.

Exotic Animals

Dental Care

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet’s teeth. We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly – above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. We offer multiple products to help maintain healthy teeth in between dentals depending on what is best for you and your pet.

Cold-Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a holistic, non-invasive, effective way to treat and manage many different conditions. Such as acute & chronic ear infections, intervertebral disc disease, gingivitis & periodontal disease, hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament injuries, chronic pain & inflammation, arthritis & lick granulomas, and much more. The laser beam stimulates the cells to become healthier and by doing so it reduces inflammation so that healing can begin. By reducing inflammation, the laser is a great tool for helping minimize the pain of many chronic conditions.

Penn Hip/OFA Certification

This is a diagnostic radiographic technique used to detect a genetic disorder known as Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD). CHD is the most common inherited orthopedic disease in dogs. It is a degenerative, developmental condition, leading to painful hip osteoarthritis, stiffness, and diminished quality of life and can affect any breed of dog. Even though there is no medical or surgical cure, early detection is key. By maintaining a healthy weight and giving appropriate supplements we can help keep your pet comfortable and happy.
