What We Do
Betty Baugh’s Animal Clinic is a progressive
clinic that offers preventative care as
well as advanced diagnostic tools and
surgical services. Please read below for a summary
of the services we offer, and
contact
us for more information!
Complementary & Alternative Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary Acupuncture
Veterinary acupuncture is a healing science, which involves the examination and stimulation of specific points on the body of an animal with acupuncture needles. This technique aids in the diagnosis and treatment of many conditions and diseases in our pet population
Veterinary Botanical Medicine
Veterinary botanical medicine is the use of plants and plant derivatives to treat specific conditions and diseases. In our practice we utilize Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs. The use of plants to treat physical problems and ailments has been found to date back almost five thousand years.
Advanced Diagnostics
Ultrasonography & Echocardiography: The noninvasive state of the art technology using sound waves to painlessly examine specific internal organs, primarily the abdominal organs and heart.
Endoscopy: A diagnostic tool that allows the Veterinarian to look inside the body (stomach, esophagus, colon, throat, etc). This is a tool that is minimally invasive resulting in a quicker recovery.
Laboratory Services:
Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic has a complete in-house
laboratory where blood counts, fecal parasite checks,
chemistry profiles, urinalysis and other serology
procedures are routinely performed. Commercial and
University laboratories are also utilized for specialized
diagnostics.
Anesthesia
Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic uses only the highest
quality anesthetics available to provide an extra
margin of safety. Any animal that goes under general
anesthesia is subject to a physical exam as well as
blood work to ensure minimal risks. The patients are
monitored (heart and respiratory rates, body temperature
and oxygen level) from the moment that anesthesia
is administered by a Licensed Veterinary Technician
until that animal recovers from the procedure.
Blood Transfusion
In the event of an emergency, if a patient needs a blood transfusion, Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic is equipped and able to provide this service. We also welcome volunteer blood donors; please
call
for more information if you are interested.
Boarding
We do provide boarding for our patients on a limited basis. Please
call the clinic for details.
Dental Care
Good dental care is an important element of your pet's overall health. Betty Baugh's offers a complete line of preventative products to promote healthy gums and teeth. Dental cleanings, polishing and extractions are also offered.
Geriatric Care
Pets need more frequent attention as they get older to prevent and treat illnesses associated with aging. Betty Baugh's will offer the best protocols to suit you and your pet so you can enjoy those golden years together.
Immunizations
Puppies and kittens are very vulnerable to the world in their early months; we offer a full line of puppy and kitten shots. An exam fee for the puppy or kitten series is charged upon the initial visit only. We also offer plenty of information and tips on caring for that new puppy or kitten.
Microchipping
Microchips are a permanent identification for your
pet. A small chip the size of a grain of rice is implanted
in the similar manner of administering a vaccine. The
chip contains information about your pet and can be
read with the use of a special scanner. (Most shelters
and veterinary hospitals carry these scanners now.)
You will register this information with a national
database. Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic carries
HomeAgain
Microchips.
Nutrition
A good diet is essential for your pet in all stages of his or her life.
Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic will gladly assist in determining the right diet for your pet. For your convenience, we carry a large assortment of high quality foods.
Pain Management
Aside from the obvious humane reasons, a pet that is in pain takes longer to heal. Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic insists on the most comprehensive pain management possible.
Wellness Exams
One of the easiest and most effective way to keep you pet healthy and happy is preventive care. A complete annual physical exam is essential to great pet care. Betty Baugh's Animal Clinic treats each patient as an individual and will recommend the best possible protocol for you and your pet.
Surgical Services
All our patients are examined and screened prior to
surgery, and the anesthetics are specifically tailored
to your pet. Surgical services include routine spays
and neuters, soft tissue, exploratory and orthopedic.
