An IV infusion pump allows us to accurately dose and monitor your pet's intravenous fluid intake.  This is especially important with small pets or animals with problems such as cardiac disease. 

The Tonopen is a precision electronic intstrument that allows us to measure the pressure of an animal's eye.  Many breeds of dogs are prone to glaucoma (an increase in intraocular pressure) which causes pain and can lead to blindness if not caught early.  Often the only outward sign is redness of the eyes - which is also true for many other eye diseases.  This gives us a quick, easy way to measure the eye pressure so treatment can be intituted early.  It is also invaluble in monitoring the treatment for glaucoma.

If your pet has an issue with breathing or if they happen to be undergoing surgery with a general anesthetic, a pulse oximeter is a great option for monitoring their heart rate and blood oxygen levels. We often will utilize this in any situation where there is a pet in respiratory distress as well.  It gives us quick information as to how well your pet is oxygenating their blood and allows us to make immediate adjustments if necessary.
