Cryo Surgery offered at WVH
WVH has a new cryosurgery unit that allows us to treat your pet with small skin bumps, skin tags, and eyelid masses without general anesthesia and traditional surgery. Most visits can occur in a normal appointment time with minimal stress and no pain to your pet.
Clinic Procedural Reminders
*Please make an appointment for each pet that needs to be seen. We have appointment allotments for multiple pet appointments. These slots must be assigned when you schedule your appointment. If you bring multiple pets to a single-pet appointment, we can only see a single pet during that appointment.
*Technician appointments are with a technician, not with a doctor. If you need your pet to be seen by a doctor please let reception know when you schedule your pet's appointment. A technician cannot diagnose bumps or treat illnesses like anal gland infections.
*When your pet is scheduled for surgery or any anesthetized procedure, please make sure they are fasted after 9 pm the evening before surgery. We also encourage that you allow your pet urinate and defecate at home in the morning before being dropped off for surgery.
*Please give us 24 hours to complete a refill request. We want you to know that we work to get all your requests done as quickly as possible.

Flea infestations in people's homes occur mostly in the fall. We have had many families suffering from home flea infestations in the last couple of weeks. Fleas like a moderate to tropical environment, so they look for warm bodies to come into our homes when the weather starts getting cold. If your pet is not protected against fleas and ticks during the fall months, they will become transportation to get into your house for the bugs that no longer want to be outside. This applies to dogs and cats. Both need monthly prevention in the fall months, probably more than any other time of the year.
