Countryside Animal Hospital provides compassionate progressive care for your pets. Our loyal pet owners can rely on Doctor Rich and Doctor Signe to provide innovative solutions to difficult medical cases as well as the latest preventive care.
Our care is exceptional because our staff is experienced and knowledgable . The whole staff regularly attends educational seminars to keep current on the ever changing world of veterinary medicine.
Countryside Animal Hospital is a window to a much larger world of specialized veterinary medicine. We work with board certified specialists.
Internal medicine: We use our state of the art laboratory equipment to test urine and tissues for disease. X-ray and ultrasound help us image the body. If outside machines like MRI are needed the clinic has working referral systems in place to get what is needed for your pet. The most useful aspect when diagnosing an internal problem is simply the Doctor's experience. Rich and Signe work as a team to diagnose problems of your animal and develop a plan for them to get better and stay better.
Surgery: Our doctors perform all the usual surgeries as well as orthopedics and some specialty surgery. In June of this year Rich performed a surgery on a fish!
OB-GYN: Although most of our family pets are sterilized, we do have some breeders that need help and occasionally an accidental breeding requires assistance. We perform artificial insemination, ultrasound, and Cesarean sections. Most commonly, we evaluate the pregnancy to determine a delivery date.
Ophthalmology: Dog and cat eyes are very different than human eyes but still need attention. We have a state of the art tonometer to measure eye pressure.
Oncology: Cancer is as common in animals as humans. We are unfortunately too familiar with cancer. We do perform surgery and chemotherapy here in our clinic.
