Laser Therapy in Lawrenceville, GA
Laser Therapy is a drug free, pain free, surgery free treatment option. Laser therapy utilizes specific wavelengths of light to create therapeutic effects such as, improved healing time, pain reduction, and decreased swelling. This option is available to treat many issues, including osteoarthritis, soft tissue injury, and chronic wounds. Improvement is seen over a period of several treatments, although improvement seen with only one or two treatments is not unlikely. Patients typically express greater comfort and mobility within a day after receiving laser treatment.
Laser therapy treatment requires no patient sedation or restraint which creates a more relaxing treatment environment. Laser therapy is often used with other forms of therapy, including drug therapy and acupuncture. All laser therapy is performed by our K-laser certified technicians. Ask us to recommend a treatment plan that fits your pet’s needs!
Ophthalmology
The Veterinarians at Premier Veterinary Hospital have years of experience treating eye conditions in pets, including glaucoma, removal of eyelid masses and more. If you suspect your pet has an eye condition, we’re happy to conduct an examination and make a recommendation based on our findings. If we feel that your pet needs to see a specialist, we will make a recommendation.
Reproduction
If you need help with dog breeding, look no further than the experts at Premier Veterinary Hospital. Our skilled Veterinarians will assess your pet’s health to ensure that they’re in good physical condition to breed and deliver a healthy litter.
To ensure your pet is healthy enough for reproduction, we offer extensive prenatal services including:
- Breeding soundness exams (including a physical exam of reproductive organs, semen evaluation, mating ability, and libido)
- Disease screening (such as OFA evaluations, EIC testing, embryology testing)
- Ovulation timing
Once pregnant, prenatal care includes as little or as much involvement from us as needed for your pet. She will have different nutritional needs, a different exercise routine, and other minor changes that could be overlooked by owners inexperienced with the breeding process. If, however, you are a veteran in dog breeding, you can contact us only when needed. When your pet’s time comes to give birth, we can be there to administer any care needed, including performing C-sections and postnatal care.
Tail Docking
Tail docking services will only be performed on puppies that are a few days old. Typically, these procedures are not performed under anesthesia and are only performed on certain breeds. If your pet has a medical condition that warrants tail docking we will discuss the procedure at length and your pet will be placed under anesthesia.
