X-rays
At Clara A. Mason, D.V.M in Serving West Virginia , we are proud to be on the cutting edge of medical technology. Radiology is a technique and diagnostic tool that we use to look inside the body in an entirely non-invasive way. X-rays allow us to create images of all the body’s organs.
In other words, the use of radiology gives us a view of the internal organs in your pets’ body that we otherwise could not see. It is a valuable diagnostic tool that helps veterinarians detect and prevent illness.
Breeding/Reproduction
We offer all types of assistance with reproduction and breeding, from semen collection to vaginal cytology so you know when the best breeding day will be. We offer artificial insemination (AI) as well as assistance with natural breeding.
We can check for pregnancy with ultrasound and are able to determine the number of puppies fairly accurately on late term radiographs (safe for mom and the pups!) so you know exactly what to expect. We are of course ready to help if you have questions about any part of whelping, and will be close by in case of emergency. We are here to help you succeed.
Hospice and Euthanasia
Sadly, there comes the time when we have to say goodbye to our beloved pets. Recognizing that this is a very personal and emotional event for your family, we offer in-home euthanasia for your pet. Our goal is to make this event as peaceful and respectful for your family and especially your cherished pet. We do not want your pet to experience any discomfort during this time. We will adequately sedate your pet first to ensure that your pet is not upset nor experiencing any pain or discomfort from his or her health issues. Once we determine that your precious pet is comfortable we will continue with the FDA approved injectable euthanasia solution. We will attempt to accommodate your schedule and needs as much as possible. Please call us if you would like to arrange for this service. (304) 340-1401
We recommend that burial or cremation plans are arranged prior to our arrival so that your time is focused with your pet. Please ask us if you need assistance with grief counseling.
Ultrasound
Ultrasounding is a quick and painless procedure. It uses sound waves to allow us to see inside your pets, without using the harmful radiation produced when we take x-rays.
We are pleased to be able to offer ultrasounds, along with all of our other diagnostic tools, to help your sick pets start to feel better soon. The quicker we can find the problem, the sooner your pets will be back to their normal selves.
Vaccinations
At Clara A. Mason, D.V.M in Serving West Virginia , we believe that one of the most important aspects of caring for your pet’s health is vaccinating him or her against possible diseases. There are a variety of diseases which affect our pets, and other animals, so proper vaccination is vital to protecting them from many types of illnesses.
It is important to consult with us about the unique risks of living in our region. We will be happy to discuss the benefits of protecting your pet with vaccinations, as well as, provide you with information on the required vaccinations for your pet.
Wellness Exams
At Clara A. Mason, D.V.M in Serving West Virginia , we believe that regular checkups and wellness exams are critical to your pets’ well-being. These wellness exams give us a chance to evaluate the overall health of your pet while also giving us a baseline for their unique bodies and tendencies.
Not only do these exams keep us up-to-date with your pets’ health, but they also allow us to detect potential problems before they become serious. This thorough checkup gives us vital information to help keep your pet healthy!
