Digital X-Rays
Our clinic utilizes digital radiography technology for rapid diagnosis of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal conditions. This advanced imaging modality provides high-resolution images with reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. The equipment is available both in-clinic and through our mobile medical unit for larger animals.
Ultrasound
We offer abdominal and cardiac ultrasound services for precise internal organ assessment. This non-invasive technology allows real-time visualization of soft tissue structures and blood flow dynamics. Our ultrasound capabilities complement other diagnostic tools for comprehensive patient evaluations.
Surgery
Our surgical suite handles routine and specialized procedures including spays/neuters, mass removals, and orthopedic interventions. Electro-surgery and cryo-surgery technologies enable precise tissue manipulation with reduced bleeding. Post-operative care includes monitored hospitalization and pain management protocols.
Vaccinations
We administer core and elective vaccines for disease prevention in cats, dogs, and livestock. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA/AVMA guidelines while addressing regional health risks. The monthly vaccine clinic provides affordable preventative care options for Tehachapi pet owners.
Dentistry
Professional dental cleanings and oral surgery services address periodontal disease and tooth abnormalities. Our dental equipment supports comprehensive care for small and large animals, including equine dentistry. Preventative education emphasizes home care techniques to maintain oral health.
