Scheduling:
Dr.
Judd continues seeing routine appointments Mondays
through Thursdays. Fridays are routinely an
administrative day.
Small
Animal Care:
We also
provide routine small animal care. We offer the
following services:
*
Vaccination for both dogs & cats
* Heartworm, Lymes, Ehrlichia canis testing for dogs
* Frontline Plus for cats and dogs
* Heartgard Plus for dogs
While we
are happy to care for your routine small animal
needs, we are unable to offer emergency services for
our small animal patients. We always recommend
maintaining a relationship with your small animal
clinic for diagnostic and emergency needs.
In-House
Laboratory Services:
In
addition to our referral laboratory services, we
also offer the following in-house testing:
* Fecal
Analysis to monitor de-worming program efficacy
* Urinalysis
* Complete Blood Counts (CBC) to monitor anemia and
infection
* Blood chemistries to analyze or monitor organ
function
The
in-house laboratory allows us to provide you with
results more quickly. In the event of an acute
illness or emergency, we can often begin treatment
faster due to the shortened turnaround time. It
also allows us to closely monitor horses when
treating or diagnosing problems.
Routine screening can alert us to changes that may
affect your horse’s performance, before you have a
chance to notice more obvious signs of a problem.
For example, annual blood screening can help us
detect anemia or possible organ concerns before
performance is affected. For horses on long-term
medications, such as Phenobarbital, Isoxsuprine or
Phenylbutazone, routine screening helps us monitor
the affects of these medications on individual organ
systems.
If your
horse is healthy, a baseline screen is beneficial to
get an idea of your individual horse’s “normal”
results.
Sincerely,
Vicki Coffin, L.V.T. |
