Laser Surgery: Westmoreland and Slappey Animal Hospital is pleased to offer laser as a surgical option. Laser surgery has been used in the medical profession for over 20 years and has been proven to be a safe and reliable alternative to traditional surgery using a scalpel blade.

Laser surgery has many benefits for your pet. With the laser, small blood vessels are sterilized and sealed as they are cut so there is less bleeding and reduced infection. There is less tissue trauma and less bruising post-operatively. In addition to reduced bleeding, the laser cauterizes nerve endings reducing the pain associated with the surgical site.

Digital Radiography (X-ray): Westmoreland and Slappey Animal Hospital is proud to be one of the few animal hospitals in this area with digital x-ray. Regular radiographs (x-rays) rely on cassettes and film that must be developed to produce a picture (very similar to a 35mm camera). This process can take up to 15 minutes, time which can be crucial in critical patients. With digital x-ray, a patient’s images can be seen almost instantaneous. This allows for quicker diagnosis and treatment of your pet.

Ultrasound: With one of the few ultrasounds in the area, Westmoreland and Slappey Animal Hospital provides a unique diagnostic service to its patients. Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce an image of internal organs and structures within a patient’s body. This non-invasive tool can be used for a wide range of procedures including pregnancy diagnosis, examination of the kidneys, liver, and other abdominal organs, and echocardiography (examination of the heart). Ultrasound can also aid in collecting diagnostic samples, including tumor biopsies, without ever taking a patient to surgery.

EKG: An electrocardiogram allows for the diagnosis of numerous heart conditions that can threaten the life of your pet. At Westmoreland and Slappey Animal Hospital, we offer EKG as part of the evaluation of our heart patients.
