Examinations

Yearly examinations are very important for your pet and we tailor them to meet their health needs. A yearly exam for most animals at our clinic is the exam and sometimes a fecal analysis. For our Avian clients, their exams are the exam and a set of gram stains. Gram Stains can tell us a lot about your birds health. Recheck appointments are also necessary to make sure your animal is progressing or that the infection is gone. Often times we use Gram stains, particularly in birds, to determine if infectious agents are no longer present. Our clinical examinations are not just a physical examination. In many species, we examine the behavioral or emotional components as well. That is why we are very concerned about enriching your animal’s life with foods, toys, and other enrichment items. Ask us if you have any concerns, particularly if we can help with behavior problems.
