Making and Keeping Pets Well, Inside and Out
Here at Sheridan West Animal Clinic, we specialize in internal medicine for all of our patients here in Cooper City and surrounding areas. This means we do everything we can to make and keep pets healthy, whether it involves preventing, diagnosing, or treating an illness. Our doctors are trained to work with all of the internal body systems, and our state-of-the-art facility offers modern tools and technology to provide pets with high-quality care.
Prevention
They say prevention is the best medicine, and when it comes to pets, this philosophy holds true. Although there are many diseases like periodontal disease (gum disease), obesity, and heartworm for which dogs and cats can be at risk, these and many other diseases can be easily prevented. Here are just a few of the ways we can help prevent diseases and other health problems in our patients:
- Annual or bi-annual comprehensive wellness exams
- Vaccinations (updated as needed)
- Dental cleanings (as needed)
- Year-round parasite control
- Weight management recommendations
- Management of geriatric care
Diagnostics
We offer advanced equipment to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including fractures, diabetes, and the ingestion of foreign bodies. In many cases, we combine our diagnostic services to make the most accurate diagnosis. The following is a list of some of our non-invasive diagnostic services:
- Digital radiography (X-rays)
- Physical exams
- Laboratory testing (blood testing, urinalysis, etc.)
- Ultrasound
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
- Class IV Laser Therapy
Treatment
If your pet has already been diagnosed with an illness or other medical condition, the good news is that there are many ways to treat it. In our efforts to provide pets with gentle, effective, and advanced care, we use many non-invasive treatment techniques, including:
- DogosteroneTM therapy (hormone replacement therapy (HRT))
- Surgery
- Stem cell therapy
- Dental care (including extractions)
- Laser therapy (for pain management)
- Medication
