Cardiology
VCSG performs procedures such as echocardiogram and electrocardiogram to evaluate the heart. When necessary, interventional procedures may be performed to correct congenital abnormalities.
Blood Bank
An in-house blood bank facility allows us to give needed blood component therapy to our patients. Transfusions may require packed red blood cells, plasma, whole blood or other components. In-house blood typing and cross-match capabilities allow us to decrease the risk of transfusion reactions. The blood bank also allows us to share these products with the local veterinary hospitals when needed.
Rehabilitation
If your pet has undergone surgery or has a medical condition that makes it difficult to carry out everyday activities such as walking, running, climbing stairs, or even performing as a sporting or working dog, physical rehabilitation can greatly improve your pet’s quality of life.
I-131
One of the preferred methods for long-term management of feline hyperthyroidism is the use of radioactive iodine. This treatment is highly successful without needing to give daily medications to the majority of patients. While cats are isolated from their families for a few days, the treatment is very mild and well-tolerated.
