To ensure a proper diagnosis, we often need to examine your pet. We begin a medical assessment by looking at your pet’s eyes, ears, and skin and checking his or her cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems for any abnormalities. Depending on the symptoms, we may ask you to bring your pet to the Huntington vet. Our Long Island veterinary hospital is equipped with the latest in state-of-the-art equipment.

Medical Services
1.Dentistry
For many dogs and cats, this is a
painful reality. According to the
American Veterinary Dental
Society, more than 80% of dogs
and 70% of cats have dental
disease by the age of 3. Dental (or
periodontal) disease is the most
frequently diagnosed health
problem in pets.
2. Radiology (X-
rays)
When we need to figure out
what’s wrong with your pet, we
routinely use x-rays to help
identify the cause of the
problem, rule out possible
problems, or provide a list of
possible causes. We may also
use x-rays during a wellness
exam to diagnose potential
problems before they become
serious.
3. Flea Control
A flea problem on your pet
means a flea problem in your
home. Understanding the flea
life cycle and methods for its
control can be a daunting task.
We will gladly assist you in this
process. We can provide you
with safe, effective flea
prevention and if necessary,
flea treatment. See the flea
article in the Pet Health Library
of our site.
4. Dermatology (Skin)
Skin problems are common in
dogs and cats and can be caused
by hormonal disorders, allergies,
infections, or parasites such as
fleas and mites. These issues
can be particularly difficult to
treat and should be addressed
promptly.
Contact us if you notice your
dog or cat scratching excessively
or if he or she develops any bare
patches, scabs, scaling, redness,
inflammation, lumps, or bumps.
5. Cardiology
(Heart)
Although heart problems are
found more often in older
pets, these conditions can
affect pets at any age. Heart
disease is usually a life-
threatening condition, but
early diagnosis and
appropriate therapy can
extend your pet’s life. If
caught soon enough, some
forms of heart disease can be
cured.
5.
Tonometry
It is crucial for your pet’s vision
that we detect and treat glaucoma
and other problems with
intraocular pressure (pressure
within the eye) as quickly as
possible. We can test your dog or
cat’s eyes for excess pressure
easily and safely. The test,
performed with a device called a
tonometer, is not painful and does
not require sedation.
6. Medical Assessment
To ensure a proper diagnosis, we
often need to examine your pet.
We begin a medical assessment
by looking at your pet’s eyes, ears,
and skin and checking his or her
cardiovascular, neurological,
gastrointestinal, and skeletal
systems for any abnormalities. We
will perform blood and/or urine
tests as necessary to check your
pet’s kidneys, liver, pancreas, and
endocrine system, including the
thyroid and adrenal glands.
