Animal Emergency of Pasco

TRANSFUSION MEDICINE

If the doctor decides your pet is in need of a blood transfusion, we are prepared to serve your animal's needs. Here at Animal Emergency of Pasco, there is a special group of animals that are dedicated to saving other pets.  Like in humans, each animal has a specific blood type that we must test for and then match them to a donor.  We have many donors that voluntarily and regularly save lives.  We also always have blood plasma on hand.

 

SURGERY

When your pet’s illness requires more intensive and focused care, our hospital and staff are well-equipped for surgery and in-patient hospitalization. We do not take these matters lightly and take the most extensive preparations to ensure your pet’s well-being.

 

IN HOUSE PHARMACY

For your convenience, our hospital has a pharmacy, enabling you to pick up your pet's medications at the time of your visit. While no hospital carries every medication, we keep the most commonly prescribed medications in stock.

 

EUTHANASIA

Sadly, sometimes our pets are too sick or old to keep fighting, and we have to make difficult decisions as a pet owner. You have options at this time. We provide gentle, compassionate care and understanding pet euthanasia. This service provides personalized attention and privacy for your beloved dog, cat, or other pets.

EMERGENCY MEDICINE

We specialize in all areas of emergency medicine. We pride ourselves on aggressive quality medicine provided with compassion and a focus the human-animal bond.

 

EMERGENCY EXAMS
Patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Critical patients will be given priority. No appointment is necessary. Our staff is trained to determine which cases are more critical and need to be given urgent priority. If you are fortunate enough to have a pet that is not in critical condition, we are sure you will understand if we may need to attend to a critical case first.

 

IN HOUSE LABORATORY

Our complete in-hospital laboratory allows us to quickly and accurately diagnose and monitor many emergency diseases and conditions. Rapid assessment of the patient is crucial in determining the cause of your pet’s problems so that appropriate treatment may be quickly initiated.

 

 

RADIOLOGY (X-RAY)
In addition to utilizing laboratory work to help diagnose your pet’s condition, we will perform x-rays to help us “visualize” the internal organs of the body. Our radiology unit allows up to perform high-quality x-ray studies and, combined with our digital processor; we can rapidly assess your pet’s health. Additional imaging capabilities are available via ultrasound examination.

 

ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound is a painless, safe, non-invasive procedure that we use to evaluate your pet's internal organs. It is one of the many ways we strive to give you peace of mind when it comes to your pet's health. Using sound waves, ultrasound produces a real-time moving picture of your pet's organs that allow us to visualize objects that cannot be detected by X-rays alone.
