Harley was looking very dapper for his presurgical visit. Harley had a surgery called an FHO. What is an FHO you ask?

FHO is a surgical procedure that aims to restore pain-free mobility to a diseased or damaged hip by removing the head and neck of the femur (the long leg bone or thighbone).

Harley is on his way to a more mobile lifestyle and less pain!

Arthritis affects many of our senior patients and now there is a product giving owners hope to help relieve their dog's pain.

Librela is the first and only monthly injectable monoclonal antibody therapy for dogs with osteoarthritis pain.
The video below shows our patient, Mo, who is a 9 1/2 year old pitbull mix who has been struggling with arthritis pain. We have attempted to treat his symptoms over the past year with various pain relievers, eg. carprofen, gabapentin, galliprant and codeine, with little to no real improvement seen.

Mo received his first Librela injection on May 1st. The video documents Mo's weekly progress thereafter. As you can see, there is marked improvement in his mobility.

Mo received his second injection yesterday and we expect to see him continue to show relief and potentially even more improvement! Thank you to Mo's owner for sharing this video with us to help other pets like Mo!

Hot spots? Stubborn wound? Inflamed skin? Incision not healing? Phovia Fluorescent Light Therapy could be the answer for your pet.

This fluorescent light therapy is being used to help the healing process of most all wounds! From something as small as a neuter incision to hot spots and even traumatic wounds that are too stubborn to heal.

The length of treatment varies by each type of wound, but the healing process is sped up by 50% in each case! Each treatment takes approximately 10-15 minutes and is pain free and sedation free.

Treatments are affordable and will be completed by technicians after the initial exam and recommendation by a doctor.

If you think your pet could benefit from Phovia, contact our office today to schedule an exam. (412) 364-5511 [email protected]

In honor of World Spay Day, we want to take a moment to share the importance of getting your pet spayed or neutered. Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter US animal shelters nationwide every year and so much work needs to be done to lower these staggering numbers.

This little Kitten was in for a spay last week. She was just "loafing" around in her cage recovering and looked so "berry" sweet in her collar.
