Drop-off
Service
Many pet owners who are either pressed for time or whose schedule
doesn't permit adequate time to bring a pet in and then take it home,
take advantage of our Drop-off Service. Just call us as usual for an appointment
and give the receptionist as much information as possible. Let the receptionist
know what time to expect your arrival, then you may drop off your pet
as early as 7:15 a.m. We will then perform whatever services are needed
and you can usually pick up your pet at noon (unless surgery was performed)
or after you are off work. You can talk with a doctor at that time, if
necessary. Lunchtime drop-offs are also available, and the doctors will
see your pet as soon as they return from lunch.

Physical
Exams
Examinations of your pet are recommended annually until 8-10 years
of age, after which semi-annual visits are needed. Pets are routinely
given examinations during visits for vaccinations.

Vaccinations
Puppies and kittens should receive a series of immunizations
starting at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by yearly boosters. Pets kept mainly
indoors need vaccinations also, and may even be more susceptible to infectious
diseases, due to the lack of natural immunity.
Dogs are vaccinated for canine distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, coronavirus,
parainfluenza, and rabies. Yearly boosters are recommended for the distemper combination vaccine. If your dog or cat has had a rabies vaccine previously, then the rabies vaccination will be good for three years. Each year when the annual visit occurs, your pet will receive a new rabies tag and certificate of registration..
Cats are vaccinated for feline distemper, feline leukemia, rhinotracheitis,
calicivirus, and rabies. Yearly boosters are recommended.
Vaccines for Kennel Cough (Bordatella) are recommended if your dog is
to be boarded at a kennel or if they are to be around a lot of other dogs
(Dog show, dog parks, etc.).
Also available are vaccines for Lyme Disease, Leptospirosis, and rattlesnake
venom.

Routine
Dentistry
Learn more about the importance of good pet dental care, and how bacteria
in the mouth can cause serious health problems for pets. Without good
dental care, most dogs and cats will show signs of oral disease by age
three, which puts them at risk for other diseases. For more information
on dental care, please visit www.petdental.com.

Geriatric
Care
The doctor may recommend a Geriatric workup for your older pet, which
could include a blood chemistry profile, chest x-ray, EKG and complete
physical. Pre-surgical examinations along with an EKG and blood profile
are routinely performed on any older pet prior to surgery or dentistry.

Laboratory
 Our up-to-date laboratory is able to provide important information to help diagnose medical problems or to determine if your pet is in top-notch shape or not. Chemistry panels, complete blood counts (CBC), urinalysis, fecal examinations, Feline Leukemia/FIV tests, Brucellosis, and heartworm tests are just some of the procedures performed in our laboratory. Pathology specimens are usually sent to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Laramie. For other, more specific tests, we use different laboratories in various parts of the country.

Surgery
Our surgical suite is state-of-the-art with the newest, safest anesthetic
machines, heating pads, and a positive pressure ventilation system. All
anesthetized animals are monitored with a cardiac/respiratory monitor
to insure a safe and speedy procedure and recovery. Our Carbon
Dioxide Laser offers a totally new dimension to many surgical procedures.
Video Otoscope
 At the Cheyenne Pet Clinic, we are always looking for new techniques and equipment to help us take care of your pet. Video Otoscopy is an exciting new field of diagnostics and treatment. This high-tech instrument is a tiny color digital camera connected to a tapered probe that we use to perform examinations deep inside the ear, nose or throat. It transmits images to a monitor so that the ear canal and eardrum can be visualized clearly. Pictures of these images can be printed out for your pet's record or for you to take home.
Short endoscopes such as the Video Otoscope can be used in many ways to improve our diagnosis and treatment of common problems of the ear or throat. We use the camera to diagnosis and treat ear infections, polyps, and blockages; and to pinpoint dental of throat conditions as well as genitourinary problems. The Video Otoscope also allows us to treat serious ear problems because it has an attachment  which allows deep ear cleaning, often the first and most effective step in therapy. In addition, the Video Otoscope can be used to perform surgery in conjunction with our laser. We can also perform biopsies deep in the ear canal, remove foreign objects and determine the condition of the ear drum.
An entire new line of antibiotics and flushes made especially for ear disease are available as well.
