Examination, Diagnosis & Treatment
Following the examination, we will provide you with a diagnosis and treatment options. Your vet will work with you to determine the best treatment for your animal.
Afterwards, we will create a detailed report of our diagnosis, the discussion we had with you, and your animal's treatment plan. This information will be on hand for whenever you need it.
