    Loss of stamina or energy
    Limping
    Excessive thirst
    Changes in urination (accidents indoors, increased frequency, bloody urine)

  Please call any time you are concerned about your pet. We can help determine if/when your pet should be examined based on the symptoms your pet is showing.Ultrasound examination

  We are equipped to accurately diagnose and treat your pet’s problem. Our hospital equipment includes:
