provides veterinary care and support for you and your pet from the time they join your family until they depart. As a team we will strive to help you understand your pet care options so that you can make an informed decision in every aspect of your pet’s care. Each and every family is different in how they handle each pet’s care within their family. Each family has different physical, emotional,
and financial needs. For this reason, we offer preventive health care for each life stage based on each pet’s life style. The preventative measures can include vaccinations, parasite control, dental care, and screening tests, such as radiographs (X-rays), blood work, and eye pressure checks (tonometry), to check for medical conditions. All pets need some medical treatment during their lifetime and Faithful Friends will be able to provide care by being able to perform diagnostics using the in house laboratory and the reference laboratory for special testing, radiology, tonometry, and monitoring of physical examination findings. These diagnostics will enable the doctor with the help of the staff to administer and prescribe appropriate medications, recommend further testing, surgical intervention, or if necessary, referral to a veterinary
specialist. Faithful Friends is able to provide a range of surgical procedures because of Dr. Ellen’s years of experience and interest and continued education in surgical procedures. Procedures that are offered include but are not limited to repair of the third gland of the eyelid or “Cherry eye”, a**l sacculectomy, dental extractions, perineal urethrostomy for blocked cats, subtotal colectomy for cats suffering from megacolon, adrenalectomies in ferrets, and flank spays in cats. The staff at Faithful Friends Veterinary Care, Inc. is excited to greet some existing faithful friends and make many new ones.
