PHARMACY
Our pharmacy Includes Specialty Compounded and
Flavored Medications. We carry an extensive inventory of
veterinary pharmaceutical items, supplies, and
medications, and are now able to provide many custom
compounded pharmaceuticals such as flavored liquids and
transdermal preparations. These special preparations are
particularly useful for pets who are difficult to medicate.
LABORATORY
We have a fully staffed laboratory facility featuring state of
the art Iddex machines, which do all in house blood work, in
house heartworm testing, fecal examinations, and
urinalysis.
Laboratory testing plays an integral role in the early
detection of changes in your pet's health. Diagnostic tests
provide essential information by which our veterinarians
can identify blood disorders, kidney and liver disease,
diabetes, infection, cancer, thyroid disease and other
hormonal problems.
Our extensive laboratory provides fast and accurate
information that is necessary for the well being of your pet.
DENTAL CARE
Dental hygiene is necessary for the well being of an
animals health. We encourage all of our patients to have
annual dental exams and dental prophylaxis when
necessary to maintain their pets dental health. Our
hospital has trained technicians for performing full dental
cleanings using advanced dental equipment.
THE BOARDING HOUSE
We are fortunate to have a well run and up to date
boarding kennel adjacent to our hospital. It is owned by Dr.
Charles and Janice Duffy.

House website.
YEARLY CHECK UPS
Regular wellness exams are the key to keeping your pet healthy. We
recommend all pets undergo an annual "nose to tail" wellness exam, though
more frequent exams are encouraged. As the old saying goes, an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure, and frequent exams can help spot health
problems in your pet before they become expensive to treat and potentially
life-threatening. During an exam, we examine your pet's nose, eyes and ears,
check your pet's teeth and oral cavity, listen to your pet's heart and lungs,
carefully examine the skin and coat for any unusual lumps or swelling, palpate
the abdomen and muscles and perform an orthopedic evaluation of the
bones, joints and back.
X-rays are one of the most useful techniques available for
diagnosing your pet's problem quickly and efficiently. By
providing an inside snapshot of your pet's body and
organs, x-rays can aid in the diagnosis of orthopedic
problems such as fractures and hip dysplasia, as well as
arthritic changes in bones and joints. X-rays are also used
to view the heart, lungs and abdomen, allowing for the
diagnosis of heart disease, bladder stones, tumors and
other health problems. We are equipped with the latest
digital radiographic technology and our highly-skilled
technicians are well-trained in using radiographic
equipment.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasounds can be an important, non-invasive diagnostic
tool for your pet. Used primarily for abdominal and cardiac
problems, Park Animal Hospital is equipped with the latest
veterinary ultrasound technology to help diagnose disease
and other health problems quickly and efficiently.
Often considered more exact than x-rays, ultrasound
provides our veterinarians with a real-time "movie" of what
is happening inside your pet's body. Ultrasounds can
provide a highly-detailed image of your pet's organs, which
leads to a fast, accurate diagnosis. Because the
procedure is non-invasive, anesthesia is generally not
required, resulting in a less-stressful, more comfortable
visit for your pet.
