The Island Animal Hospital has a fully stocked pharmacy to deliver immediate treatment to your pet. We carry a comprehensive inventory of antibiotics, medications as well as non-prescription treatments including creams, ointments and lotions.
Our in-house laboratory services provide blood work (i.e. serum chemistry, hematology), urinalysis and parasite testing. We also send samples to a commercial veterinary laboratory for specialized diagnostics. For complicated cases, we have a telemedicine service which allows us to consult with board certified specialists.
At The Island Animal Hospital we offer a wide range of surgeries from routine spays and neuters to emergency surgeries such intestinal foreign body removals. We provide anaesthesia tailored to your pet as well as pain management protocols to ensure your pet is pain free.
Recognizing pain in our pets can be very challenging because they don’t express pain in the same way that humans do. Alleviating pain in our patients is very important to us. We employ our skills and knowledge to help ensure your pet’s comfort before and after surgery and in the event of an injury or infection. We can also help discomfort caused by chronic illness such as osteoarthritis.
Keep your pet healthy with regular exams. We recommend that healthy adult dogs and cats visit us annually. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with illnesses need more frequent checkups. Vaccinations are an effective way to prevent common dog diseases like Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus and Bordetella. And for cats, Feline Leukemia, Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia.
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have oral disease by the age of 3. It is the most frequently diagnosed pet health problem. Dental disease is an often unrecognized source of pain in pets. Keeping your pets teeth clean has a positive impact on your pet’s health, comfort and longevity. So, we strongly emphasize good dental hygiene for your pet.
Your pet’s nutrition is as important as our own. This is why we offer premium food the help target and maintain proper digestion, coat, teeth and many other areas of your pet’s health. If your animal has a problem such as allergies, kidney disease, obesity or bladder inflammation, we can recommend a specific program.
Our pets are family members that provide us with love and loyalty. The decision to put our pets to sleep is difficult. You may have many questions and concerns. If you are struggling, call us and we can help during this difficult time. Our euthanasia services are conducted with respect, compassion and care.
Microchip identification is a reliable way to reunite lost pets with their owners. The procedure is safe and inexpensive. All animal care facilities scan found pets for a microchip. When a microchip is found, the lost pet is reported to a special hotline. The pet owner is then called and given the contact information to recover their pet.
One of the most valuable medical diagnostic tools is radiography or x-rays. X-rays are highly useful for screening areas of the body that have contrasting tissue densities or when evaluating solid tissues. Our on-site X-ray equipment aid in the quick diagnosis of many ailments such as arthritis, bladder and kidney stones, and lung abnormalities including pneumonia. They are also used to evaluate bone damage, organ integrity and identify ingested foreign objects.
