Crossroads Animal Hospital rotates call with two other animal hospitals in town. The on-call doctor is available 365 days a year during non-business hours if your pet requires after-hours care. If another hospital is on call you will be treated at that hospital until you can be transferred back to us on teh next business day. A call to 662-232-1387 will page the doctor, who will then promptly return your call.
We routinely perform a wide variety of soft-tissue and orthopedic procedures. Our hospital features a surgery room equipped with a gas-anesthesia machine and a state of the art patient monitor which includes an EKG, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure monitoring. Should the need arise, we can refer your pet to a board certified specialist.
Just like people, animals suffer from plaque build up. If left untreated, plaque can lead to gum disease, which in turn can lead to life-threatening infections in other parts the body. Crossroads Animal Hospital recommends that your pet's wellness plan include annual dental appointments. For more information concerning animal dentistry, please see www.petdental.com. Ask about our Dental Month specials.
"An ounce of prevention. . ." is particularly applicable where your pet's health is concerned. Your pet should be examined and vaccinated starting at 6 to 8 weeks of age. After the initial kitten or puppy series, annual visits are recommended until geriatric care is appropriate. Once your companion animal reaches its 8th year, you should consider semiannual examinations for early detection of diseases and conditions common to our older patients.
Crossroads Animal Hospital contains a laboratory with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and a digital x-ray machine and processing equipment. Our investment in this equipment ensures quick and accurate diagnoses of disease and trauma. Radiograph images can be emailed or placed on a CD if necessary. Procedures performed in our laboratory include chemistry panels, complete blood counts, urinalysis, fecal examinations, Feline Leukemia/FIV tests and heartworm tests. We employ the services of outside laboratories and specialists as the need arises.
