Annual Health Check and Vaccination
During
your pet's annual health check, we discuss with you your
pet's history at home since your pet's previous visit and
any matters of concern you may have regarding your pet's
health. We then check your pet from nose-to-tail,
examining...
- nose
- oral cavity,
including teeth and gums
- eyes
- ears
- auscultation of
(listening to) heart and lungs
- abdominal
palpation to identify problems with the gastrointestinal
tract, urogenital tract, liver and other
organs
- musculoskeletal
system
- integument
(skin)
- lymph
nodes
- body
temperature
- pulse rate and
quality
- weight
We discuss any abnormal
findings from the full physical examination with you, and
suggest further diagnostic or treatment options as needed.
If all is well, then your pet's vaccination will be
administered.
During the annual
health check consultation, we also discuss your pet's
internal and external parasite
control (fleas, ticks and the gastrointestinal worms) and
heartworm prevention.
During the annual health check and vaccination consultation,
microchipping
can also be done.
If your pet is more
mature in years, we may also suggest a
routine blood screen to check their internal organ
function.
