Frequently asked questions
- What diagnostic tools are available at McLean Animal Hospital?
- The hospital utilizes an in-house laboratory to perform complete blood counts, chemistry analysis of the liver and kidneys, electrolyte levels, and thyroid levels. For imaging, they provide digital X-rays to evaluate internal organs, bone, and tissue, as well as ultrasound technology, which uses sound waves to examine the heart and abdominal organs without the need for radiation or chemicals.
- Does the clinic provide laser therapy for pets?
- Yes, the hospital offers K-Laser Class IV therapeutic lasers for pain management. This treatment uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to induce a photochemical reaction that increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and enhances tissue healing. It is commonly applied to treat arthritis, degenerative joint disease, hip dysplasia, post-surgical pain, skin problems, and ear infections.
- What vaccination services are offered for puppies and kittens?
- McLean Animal Hospital provides core vaccines for puppies, including DHPP and Rabies. For cats, they offer FVRCP and Rabies vaccines. The veterinary team employs a balanced approach to determine which diseases a specific pet is at risk for, aiming to protect the animal while minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Does the clinic offer nutritional counseling?
- Yes, during wellness exams, the veterinarians assess a pet's body condition in relation to their diet. They provide recommendations for appropriate serving sizes and specific food types to support bone, teeth, brain function, and immune system health. The clinic also maintains a full stock of veterinarian-recommended food and treats for their clients.
