Services Supporting Primary Care Veterinarians
At Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty in Madison, WI, we offer supportive and overflow services to your primary care veterinarian to ensure that your pet receives the care they need when they need it.
Understanding Services Supporting Primary Care Veterinarians
We offer services designed to support both pet owners and their primary veterinarians, including overnight monitoring, ultrasound and echocardiography and overflow surgeries. By offering these services, we help ensure that your pet receives timely care, preventing conditions from worsening due to delays in treatment.
We are not a primary care facility and do NOT offer general care services such as vaccines, dentals, routine labwork, or other preventative services.
Non-Emergent Surgeries and Monitoring
Our team is equipped to perform a variety of non-emergent surgeries that are crucial for your pet’s health and well-being. These procedures include cystotomy, limb and tail amputation, mass removals, enucleation, splenectomy (for non-bleeding cases), and GI and liver biopsies. Each surgery is carried out with the utmost care, focusing on the safety and comfort of your pet. By offering these services on a timely basis, we help reduce the stress and uncertainty that can arise when your pet requires surgical intervention.
Advanced Diagnostic Services
In some cases, your pet may require advanced diagnostic tests that are not readily available through your primary vet. We offer outpatient abdominal, thoracic, and cervical ultrasounds to provide detailed imaging of your pet’s internal organs and heart. These procedures are performed by experienced professionals, with all patients sedated to ensure the best possible images. The images are then sent to IDEXX for review by a radiologist or cardiologist, or to another service of your choice, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Our ability to perform fine needle aspiration (FNA) and true cut biopsies during these procedures further enhances our diagnostic capabilities. By providing these services in a timely manner, we help ensure that your pet’s condition is identified and addressed as quickly as possible.
When to Seek Additional Services
There are several situations where it may be necessary to seek our primary overflow services. If your pet’s condition is non-emergent but still requires attention sooner than your primary vet can provide, we are here to help. Whether your pet needs surgery, advanced imaging, or overnight monitoring, our team is ready to collaborate with your primary veterinarian to provide the care your pet needs.
At Animal Center for Emergency and Specialty in Madison, WI, we are committed to supporting the health and well-being of your pets through our pet primary vet overflow services. By working closely with your primary veterinarian, we help ensure that your pet receives timely and effective care, giving you the confidence that your pet’s health is always in good hands.
