Services
|
Our animal hospital provides veterinary services to companion and farm animals. The majority of the animals we see are dogs, cats, cows and horses. However, we also provide treatment to exotic animals, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hedgehogs, birds, alpacas, elk, goats, and more! Weir Veterinary Services is available for all your preventative and diagnostic needs.

Dietary & Nutritional Counseling
A wide range of clinical conditions can be treated or managed by diet. Whether your pet is fighting a weight problem or requires a special diet in conjunction with health care management and treatment, our staff can counsel you on the nutritional options available. Our clinic uses Royal Canin and Medi-Cal pet foods to keep your animal happy and healthy.

Radiology
We are capable of taking x-rays on companion pets as well as large animals. Our digital radiography system provides clear, quality x-rays in a very short amount of time. The high level of accuracy and ability to manipulate image settings allows for better and faster diagnosis, which leads to better and faster treatment.

Diagnostic Services
Weir Veterinary Services has a number of diagnostic tools we use to determine problem cause and treatment options. Our on-site lab allows us to analyze blood, urine, and feces for potential problems. Most tests are ready in 10 to 30 minutes, providing a fast diagnosis. For animals displaying cardiac problems, we can perform an ECG, which is sent by phone for interpretation.

Surgical Procedures
Both small and large animal surgeries are performed at our clinic. Our companion pet surgeries take place Monday to Friday, and include spays, neuters, declaws, biopsies, lump removals, and orthopedic surgeries. Most surgeries will have to stay overnight, to ensure the animal has fully recovered from the anesthetic. All patients are monitored by a trained technologist as well as state of the art blood pressure and oxygen saturation equipment. Owners may also choose to have preanesthetic blood testing done before the procedure.
Large animal surgery is a little different. Most take place in clinic, using sedation and local anesthetic, and go home when the surgery is complete.

Dental Care
Your pet's teeth should be checked once a year, at their annual vaccine appointment. Many animals do not receive at-home dental care, such as brushing. These pets may need to have a general anesthetic for a complete dental prophylaxis. Our trained technologists use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean each tooth thoroughly. The teeth are then polished to create a smooth surface, helping to reduce plaque buildup. Radiographs are taken to determine if extractions are necessary. We can also recommend products to use at home, which will help keep your pet's smile white!

- reproductive efficiency,
