Preventative Health Care for Your Pet in Pensacola

Annual examinations are the best way for us to determine the overall health of a patient and help to detect problems in an early stage before serious illness or complications occur. Early detection and preventive medicine saves lives and can save owners the expense of dealing with problems that have been allowed to progress into more complicated stages. Our caring veterinarians are here for you.

During an annual exam, the veterinarian will review vaccination status, diet, and parasite control. A thorough physical exam will follow, looking at dental health, eyes, ears, coat, skin, and body condition. The heart and lungs are auscultated for abnormalities such as heart murmurs, arrhythmias, atypical breath sounds, or other issues. The veterinarian will palpate the abdomen, feeling for any changes in abdominal organs, such as kidneys, liver, bladder, spleen, intestinal tract, or other abnormal findings, such as free fluid or masses. The veterinarian will also evaluate the urogenital tract and lymph nodes and look for any changes in the musculoskeletal or nervous systems. Specific bloodwork and other diagnostic tests are done based upon the animals age and health condition.
