Animal Care Hospital is a full service
hospital providing Fayette County and the Mid-South with
state of the art Medical,
Dental
and Surgical care.
Services: Surgery - We perform
most routine surgeries and have a well-equipped modern surgery
suite for sterile procedures. We use the newest and safest
anesthetics available. While anesthetized all patients are
monitored by a technician and a multi-modal monitor so that we
are award of changes before they become a problem.
All anesthesia has some
risk. To minimize this we do several things:
- pre anesthetic testing to screen for underlying disease
- intravenous catheterization
and fluid therapy to provide easy access for drug administration
should the need
arise, and blood pressure
management.
- EKG to evaluate for structural or
rhythm problems with the heart.
Pain management is part of our routine pre-surgical protocol and is not
elective. Pain is best treated before it occurs and all
patients are given an injection before surgery and local
anesthetics are frequently used to prevent post-op pain.
Dentistry is a focus of our practice so
please see our dental pages.
Radiology - We utilize both traditional and digital
radiology for general and dental imaging.
Ultrasound -
The Ultrasound allows us to non invasively examine the
architecture of internal organs. We can evaluate the bladder
for stones, evaluate pregnancy and look for masses or other
problems in the abdomen. Complete
laboratory - In order
to get rapid testing feedback, the clinic laboratory can perform
blood counts, blood gas & chemistry analysis, fecal & urine
analysis, heartworm tests, and selected viral tests. Tests not
routinely performed are sent to an outside laboratory, with
results usually available the next day.
