Physical exam:

A thorough history is included in the physical exam.  This involves assessing personality, environment, diet, behavior, and any other aspect of your pet’s life that affects health.

Your pet will have all systems evaluated; including weight, temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate taken at each visit to determine what is “normal” for your pet.  Then the doctor examines eyes, ears, oral cavity, heart, lungs, musculo-skeletal, lymph nodes, abdomen, skin, and neurologic status and we will discuss findings with you.  We will also assess pain in each patient.

Because we practice integrated medicine, your pet will receive the benefit of Chinese pulse and tongue diagnosis.  Treatment recommendations may include acupuncture, diet change, herbs, or massage based on combined eastern and western diagnosis.

Surgical procedures:

Every animal deserves safe anesthesia and pain control when undergoing surgery. To promote these results, our packages include items like IV catheter, pain injection, IV fluids, and comprehensive anesthetic monitoring. Every patient receives a pre-surgical exam to determine their ability to handle the physical stress of anesthesia and surgery.

Anesthesia:

Anesthesia is a potent physical stress on the body.  Whole Pet requires that all anesthetic patients have an IV catheter and IV fluids for procedures longer than 10 minutes.  The IV catheter allows the doctor on-going and immediate ability to administer medications and deliver fluids to maintain safe blood pressure and ensure adequate hydration.  Proper blood pressure protects the kidneys from damage.

Whole Pet knows that being away from home can be stressful and the pre-surgical sedative calms your pet so they feel more relaxed.  Some sedatives also give pain relief.  Anesthesia is maintained with human-grade anesthetic gas.

Oral Health Assessment and Treatment

Remember that our pets cannot tell us if they have a toothache.  They just avoid chewing on the affected teeth or chew in pain.  They must first be anesthetized for proper assessment of the inside of the mouth and the teeth through probing under the gums and tooth x-rays to know the full extent of disease.  Sometimes infected teeth can be cleaned and restored to health.  Other times they need extraction or root canal therapy.  We will refer to a veterinary dentist for advanced dental procedures like root canals.

If tooth extractions are necessary care is taken to numb the area and provide injectable and oral pain medication. In addition, the extraction site is surgically closed and this often includes grafting tissue over the site.  Closure in this way promotes faster healing and prevents food from contaminating the extraction site. Cost can vary from $20 (single root incisor) to $120 (large multi-root molar or pre-molar) per tooth.

Finally, your pet's teeth will be cleaned with a brand new magnetorestrictive scaler.  Polishing is also included, which smoothens the tooth surface in an effort to prevent immediate plaque build- up.

Home care is vital to minimizing the number of times your pet needs to be anesthetized for cleanings and if they must be anesthetized, the procedure time will be minimized. Whole Pet will help create an at home dental care plan for before and after cleanings and can be as easy as periodically feeding special chew treats.

WPVC Vaccination protocol

Safe Vaccinnation Protocols based on “Risk Assessment” WPVC’s vaccine protocols are based on balancing the risk versus benefit of each vaccine for each animal, called “risk assessment”. This means we look at each pet’s lifestyle, age, and health status to determine the best vaccination schedule for that pet. In general all puppies and kittens should receive a full set of the “core” vaccines with boosters at one year of age. We use updated guidelines from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), as well as following on-going scientific studies to determine protocols.
