There is no question too big or too small for our veterinary team. Below are some answers to our most common questions.
There are long term health benefits to your pet when it is spayed or neutered. Ask your veterinarian to explain these. Obviously, the primary benefit is controlling the pet population and reducing the numbers of unplanned, unwanted pets.
The average spay or neuter costs less than an automobile tune-up. The procedure requires the time of a veterinarian and a surgical technician, sterilized surgical instruments, general anesthesia, drapes, and suture material. When measured against the cost of feeding and nurturing unwanted kittens or puppies, spaying/neutering is much more cost-effective.
Not only is it unethical and illegal to prescribe for an animal that hasn't been physically examined by a veterinarian, it is also impossible to come up with an accurate diagnosis and rational plan of treatment.
A complete physical examination and other diagnostic tests are required to determine the cause of the symptoms and best course of treatment. Click here to make an appointment request.
Fees cover what is done for the animal including an examination, diagnosis, treatment and medications. Some problems can be long term or involve multiple and/or changing symptoms.
Unfortunately, as in human medicine, there are no guarantees.
If you "adopt" or "take in" the animal, you become the owner and therefore are responsible for the animal's care. Hopefully, a healthy animal is your reward for trying to do the right thing. If you need help with a stray’s care, we recommend reaching out to your local shelters.
The most important thing to remember is not to keep the animal and take care of it yourself! Not only could it potentially do more harm than good to the animal, but it is also illegal! In the event you ever find an injured or orphaned animal out in your yard or in the wild, contact a permitted Wildlife Rehabilitator prior to picking the animal up. Click Here for more resources.
