Frequently asked questions

- What services are available for dogs and cats?
- The clinic offers preventive care for dogs and cats, including services for kittens, puppies, and senior pets. This includes physical exams to detect potential health issues like heart murmurs, tumors, enlarged organs, cataracts, ear infections, and dental disease. They also provide pet nutrition advice and microchipping.
- What measures are taken to ensure pet safety during surgery?
- During surgery, Oakridge Veterinary Clinic utilizes state-of-the-art surgical monitoring equipment. Each dental and surgical patient receives a comprehensive pre-operative examination, IV catheter and fluids, pulse oximetry, CO2, blood pressure, temperature, and EKG monitoring. A dedicated staff member monitors the pet before, during, and after surgery, and a patient warming system is used for body temperature maintenance. Antibiotic and pain-reducing medication injections are administered if indicated.
- Why is a pre-anesthetic blood panel important before surgery?
- A pre-anesthetic blood panel is important to ensure that the liver and kidneys can handle the anesthetic. This testing helps detect previously undetected kidney or liver problems that could cause complications during surgery. Knowing about these issues allows the doctor to customize the surgery or anesthesia protocol or to postpone surgery until the underlying problem is addressed.
- Does Oakridge Veterinary Clinic offer pet photography services?
- Yes, Oakridge Veterinary Clinic offers free pet photos with various seasonal and fun backgrounds, such as Spring has Sprung, At the Beach, Halloween, and Winter Holidays.
