CT Imaging can be very enlightening for veterinarians as a diagnotic tool. We are proud to be the only clinic in southern Utah to offer CT Scans. A Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan is a diagnostic tool that uses X-Ray to create detailed, cross-sectional images of the body that can be viewed as a 3-D image. The detail provided allows a veterinarian to more easily discover a problem. Used in dental procedures, 3D imaging allows us to look at every tooth individually from all directions and angles, allowing us to see what is happening below the gumline, such as pockets of infection or bone degradation. A feature of the CT scanner is fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy shows real time moving X-Ray Images. This can be used for swallow studies, heart, or intestinal diseases, etc. The detail provided by CT imaging can often help to diagnose a problem without other invasive measures like surgery. CT imaging can also be helpful to determine more details In the event of bone fractures to give more Information about the best way to repair a fracture.

This week our clinic had to make a hard decision.

Our Smudge has been treated for severe arthritis the last few years and while treatments have helped her in the past, the day came where there were no more options available to offer her a comfortable life.

We said goodbye to Smudge this past Monday. She will be missed by many that walked through the doors at the Animal Clinic. She was often seen lounging and sunning herself at the front window, or popping into an exam room she didn’t belong in. In the treatment area she could be found snuggled in her corner, keeping an eye on what was going on or yelling at us for treats. She would find her way into a cabinet left open or sneak into a cat carrier that wasn’t hers. She made sure to check on our patients that weren’t happy and offered comfort to our clients that needed it.

We miss her greatly and know there are many clients that will too.

If you have an emergency and your pet needs to be seen during the holiday weekend, please contact Lava Rock Veterinary Hospital at 435-288-0288

We will be closed on Monday, July 24 in observation of Pioneer Day.  We will reopen on Tuesday July 25th.

For those of you new to Utah…Pioneer Day is an official holiday which celebrates the first group of Latter-day Saint pioneers that arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.

The picture is one of Dr. Bowler’s forefathers who settled in Gunlock and carried the mail from Gunlock to Pine Valley on his “broom-tailed mare.” We are so grateful for those who went before and settled this beautiful place we all enjoy and love.

“But all of us have forefathers, and regardless of our nation, culture, and where we come from…we all have pioneer heritage.”
President M. Russell Ballard

Happy Pioneer Day!!!
