3.)Which dogs are at risk of infection?
Most dogs are at risk no matter what breed, size or age they are.
4.)How is Canine Influenza spread?
The three main ways of spreading Canine Influenza is by direct contact, cough or sneeze, and contaminated clothes or other surfaces.

The vaccine was proven safe and well tolerated in over 700 dogs.

You're veterinarian is the best person to answer any questions you may have.
RADIOWAVE SURGERY We are pleased to introduce radiowave technology to our surgical armamentarium. We now have the ability to offer your pet shorter anesthesia and post-surgical healing times. In fact, some procedures may now require only a local anesthetic.
Why is Radiowave Frequency safer?
1. No contact is needed between the neutral plate and the patient, eliminating the possibility of burns or shocks.
2. There's no risk of accidentally burning other areas of tissue through reflection or penetration of a light beam as with laser.
3. Radiowave surgery provides a tactile, but pressureless, incision which allows the doctor to sense what he/she is cutting.
4. Radiofrequency energy is low-temperature, minimizing the occurrence of tissue necrosis and burning.
What are the Benefits of Radiowave Surgery to my Pet?
-
Decreased post-operative pain: Radiowave surgery seals nerve endings as it cuts.
-
Decreased post-surgical edema (swelling): Low temperature = less tissue destruction.
-
Less blood loss: The radiowaves close off blood vessels as they cut.
-
Reduced risk of infection: Radiowaves vaporize bacteria, preventing infectious agents from being seeded along the length of the incision.
-
Quicker recovery: With less tissue destruction, healing is fastened & your pet recovers quicker.
-
Safer than laser surgery: There are no safety hazards involved with radiowave technology.
-
No burning or charring of the tissue: Radiowave surgery does not burn the tissue, unlike laser or high-temperature electrosurgery.
Ask if your pet's surgery can be performed with radiowaves.
