After-Hours

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 your pet will be treated at that hospital until they can be transferred back to us on the next business day. A call to 662-232-1387 will page the doctor, who will then promptly return your call.

Surgery

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.

Dental

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.

Wellness

"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.

Diagnostic

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.

Come visit our new spacious boarding facility. All of our boarding facilities are in-door and temperature controlled. They include a separate cat room complete with multi-level "kitty condos" and an aquarium for feline entertainment. For our canine boarders, we offer runs, cages, as well as luxurious suites with their own private bed and a window. All canine borders enjoy frequent out-door walks in our fenced outside exercise area.

For the protection of your pets, as well as our other boarders, we require that all animals staying with us be free of fleas and ticks, and current on vaccinations. If your pet arrives with fleas or ticks, we will treat it for a nominal fee. Please bring proof of current vaccination with you if your pet is not currently a patient with us.

Our new boarding facility was designed, to provide a pleasant, easy to clean and comfortable space for our boarding guests. Our facility operates at or near capacity much of the time. To that end we have the following check-in/check-out times to insure that each guest has appropriate accommodations upon arrival, enjoys their time with us, and returns to you healthy and happy.

For your convenience, we are open from 5:30 to 6:00 on Sunday evenings for admitting and discharging boarders.

We provide baths every weekday. Our staff provides clip-offs and "comfort cuts" by appointment. We have a professional groomer available by appointment for breed specific or specialized grooming needs. Our groomer's schedule fills up far in advance much of the year so please book your appointment early.
