Services

Every pet will start off with a physical exam done by a veterinarian to diagnose any potential problems before another service is performed. It is important to get pets examined once a year if they are under the age of seven and once every six months when they are over the age of seven.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are an integral part of pet health and it is important that pets be vaccinated according to the guidelines set by the veterinary associations. There are some local by laws regarding the vaccination against Rabies. Rabies vaccination can last from one year to three years depending on the type of vaccine used.
Spay and Neuter
This is an important service to control pet population and the quality of life for the pet. This surgery is performed by the veterinarian and in most cases the pet is ready for pickup the same day. The pet is monitored by a technician and the veterinarian while the pet is under anesthetic.
Soft Tissue Surgeries
It involves the surgery of soft tissues and organs in side the abdomen. Once the physical examination has been performed the different options are discussed with the client and a treatment plan is made which may involve an exploratory surgery to diagnose and treat the patient.
Diagnostic Imaging
Fourth Line Animal Hospital is equipped with its own X-ray machine and automatic processor. This is a useful imaging technique to further diagnose a pets condition. From these images the veterinarian can work on developing the next steps in the treatment plan.

Oral hygiene is an important part in having a healthy pet. The buildup of plaque and tartar can lead to periodontal disease. This disease causes swelling, tenderness, recession and bleeding of the gums as well as pain and bad breath.
