Video otoscopy - We are only one
of a few hospitals in the Washington, D.C. area that offer this service. The
Med-Rx video otoscopy and ear-i-gator system allows us to accurately
diagnose and treat difficult ear problems. It allows us to educate the
client and show them before and after pictures of their pet's ear.

Microchip
Did you know that a family pet is lost every two seconds? Most never
make it back home. Shelters do their best to locate owners, but without
identification it is often an impossible task. Name tags are great, but
collars are easily lost or removed. Overcrowded shelters can only keep
animals a short time, so it is vital to get an identification as soon
as
possible.
The AVID® FriendChip™ was developed by a veterinarian to save the
lives of pets and return them safely to their owners. A tiny microchip
that contains a unique personal identification number is injected under
the skin through a hypodermic needle. A special scanner is used to read
the information on the chip. The shelters in our area have scanners, as
do thousands of others across the country. You also get a small tag to
attach to the collar with the ID number and an 800 number, so that if
someone else finds your pet they can call the AVID® 24 hour hotline
to get the necessary information to reunite you with your pet.
It's a great idea to get your pet microchipped when it is in to be
neutered, but we can also do it at any time. Just call us for an
appointment.
If you are traveling to
Europe there is a special chip we can use that can be read by scanners
overseas. Be sure to mention it if you need the special EuroChip™.
