Veterinary Care for Your Pregnant Pet
Our clinic offers many services to support your pet's pregnancy, from conception through birth. We understand the complexities and challenges that can arise during pet pregnancy and are committed to providing expert care at every stage.
Progesterone testing is a valuable tool in managing your pet's pregnancy. A pet progesterone test helps determine the optimal time for breeding and can provide insights into your pet's reproductive health. Our veterinarians utilize progesterone testing to monitor hormone levels and let you know whether it is the right time to breed your female dog or cat.
To accurately determine gestation and monitor the development of the fetus, we offer pregnancy ultrasounds and X-rays for potentially pregnant dogs and pregnant cats. These diagnostic tools allow us to visualize the fetuses, assess their health, and estimate the number of offspring expected. Regular pet pregnancy scans can help identify any potential complications early, allowing for timely intervention if necessary.
For complicated births or when natural delivery is not possible, we provide c-section surgery for pets. Our team is skilled in safely performing this procedure, minimizing stress for both the mother and her puppies or kittens. We are equipped to handle emergency pet c-sections to provide the best chance for your pet and her litter.
