Good Hope Animal Hospital

Good Hope Animal Hospital "Where Little Paws Meet Trusted Hands" As animal advocates, we expand awareness of the importance of preventative health care for all companion animals.

Wellness Examinations - The best way to ensure your pet is happy and healthy is by routinely receiving wellness exams. During the examination the veterinarian will look for problems that could affect your pet's life before they are noticed at home. They may also recommend blood testing to screen for the most common diseases. It is important to bring a stool sample to your pet's appointment to scre

en for parasites, which can often go undetected and may be a hazard to you and your family. Vaccinations - Since no two pets are the same, we will customize a vaccination protocol to your pet's needs and lifestyle. Since Lyme disease is especially prevalent in this part of the country, we recommend Lyme vaccination for most of our canine patients. General and Elective Surgeries - We are ready to handle all types of routine and emergency surgeries in our well-equipped surgical suite. Elective procedures, including canine and feline spays and neuters, and mass removals, are performed Monday through Thursday. To ensure your pet's safety, all surgical patients are monitored with EKG, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry during the procedure




Laser Surgery - We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting option for safe, comfortable treatment. In many procedures laser can replace traditional scalpel blade methods. Choosing laser surgery for your pet means less pain, less bleeding, less swelling, reduced risk of infection, and faster return to normal activities. Laser surgery is frequently used for routine surgeries such as spays and neuters and is also excellent for tumors, cysts, and many other procedures. Laser surgery is an option for almost all procedures at our hospital. Please discuss additional benefits of laser surgery for your pet with your veterinarian. In-house Laboratory - In striving to give your pet the best veterinary care possible, we offer an in-house laboratory that can give us rapid results when it matters the most. Our in-house laboratory offers bloodwork, EKG, blood pressure, urinalysis, and many more important diagnostics. Ultrasound - Many diseases and conditions can be diagnosed most readily with ultrasound. Ultrasound is a non-invasive tool, which allows you to see the internal architecture of your pet's body. Ultrasound can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, bladder stones, congenital defects, and masses. Digital X-Ray - Digital x-ray offers yet another non-invasive tool to screen for both orthopedic, chest, and abdominal abnormalities. The benefit of digital x-ray as compared to standard film x-ray is the ability to manipulate views after the x-ray has been taken, which reduces the amount of radiation exposure to your pet due to x-ray retakes. With digital x-ray the "film" can be lightened, darkened, zoomed, and otherwise adjusted to make sure the image is as clear as possible. Dentistry - Pets should have routine dental check-ups and cleaning to ensure the best quality of life for your best friend. Digital Dental X-Ray - Just like at your dentist, dental x-rays are an important tool to screen for disease present near the roots of the teeth. It can detect disease of the oral cavity before it is detectable with normal cleanings and examinations. Blood Pressure Measurement - Blood pressure measurement is an important diagnostic test in many diverse conditions including kidney disease, Cushings disease, heart disease, and thyroid disease. It is also a good screening tool for patients over six years of age. In-house Pharmacy - We stock a wide variety of medicines to help your pet stay healthy or get better sooner. We are not proud to offer home delivery of some foods and medicines through our website. Please click on the VetSource banner below for more information on this convenient service. Referral Services - If your pet needs specialty care or a board-certified veterinarian, we will gladly provide referral information. HomeAgain Microchipping - Microchipping is a form of permanent identification that is with your pet at all times. It is the easiest way to make sure that if your pet ever gets lost, that they will be returned back home. For dogs it also allows for lifetime licensing. Please visit the HomeAgain website or ask your veterinarian for more information. Small Animal Dietary Management - We sell a variety of prescription diets in our hospital, as well as online through our partnership with VetSource. When purchased online, these items can be shipped directly to your door. If you are purchasing at the hospital, please call in advance to ensure your food is available.

This handsome little Pomeranian, Gunner, was in today for a check up. This breed is prone to collapsing trachea which is a condition where the trachea can collapse on itself like a soft straw. It causes a honking cough that is generally worse with excitement. Severe cases can have significant respiratory compromise. If you have a small breed dog that has a cough make sure to get them checked out.

We saw this beauty, Agatha, for a new bump near her ear. This growth is called a histiocytoma which is a benign skin growth in young dogs (Agatha is just over a year old). Histiocytomas typically appear on the head or limbs. They pop up quickly, grow to about 1-2 centimeters and usually develop an inflamed surface. They almost always resolve without treatment. They can be diagnosed with a needle aspirate.

It was a very kitteny day yesterday. We had the pleasure of seeing a litter of kittens from .ragdolls. This breed of cats are known for their laidback gentle temperaments, and seeing the kittens is a huge stress relief for us at Good Hope. 😊
