| This x-ray is of a large dog who swallowed
a very large rock. The rock
created a life-threatening intenstinal obstruction. Fortunately we were
able to surgically remove the rock and the dog had a great outcome. |

This x-ray is of a dog with hip
dysplasia which lead to severe
arthritis pain. Because of our good relationships with area
specialists, we were able to locate a surgeon to perform a hip
replacement. After surgery this dog's quality of life was greatly
improved and she continues to do very well. |
Complex procedures such as chest surgery,
brachycephalic airway correction and orthopedics
such as surgery for torn cruciate ligaments, luxating patellas and
fracture repair are also available. Working with travelling surgical
specialists, we are able to provide these services right on Mercer
Island, allowing our patients to remain in familiar surroundings and
our clients to work with the staff and doctors they know
and feel comfortable with. For more information, call or email the
clinic. |
