Pet Medical Services

As a pet owner, you know the importance of tending to your dog or cat regularly to keep him in the best of health. Unfortunately, there is bound to be a time when a pet injury occurs. When it happens, we at Crosspointe Animal Hospital in Fairfax Station, VA, are here to help. A vet at our animal hospital will provide your dog or cat with a pet examination to determine whether pet surgery or other treatments are required. Here is what you can expect during a visit with a “veterinarian near me” on our team.

Your Pet’s Medical History

When your pet is injured, if possible, call our office as soon as you discover the issue your pet is suffering from. This allows our staff to prepare for your arrival. You may be given instructions over the phone on how to handle your pet until you are able to get it to our office. When you arrive, you will be asked questions about your pet's condition. Provide as much detail as possible. This can include any medications your pet takes, any prior medical conditions your pet suffered from, and symptoms he is displaying.

A Pet Wellness Exam

A veterinarian at our animal hospital will conduct a pet examination to determine your dog or cat's condition. You may be able to stay with your pet during this time to help keep him calm during the evaluation.

Treatment Is Determined

If your dog or cat has a severe pet injury, he may need pet surgery. This might be done right away or it you may be asked to come back at a later date. You will need to stay in the waiting room during this procedure. A veterinarian on our team will discuss all options with you before surgery is conducted.

Care of Your Pet Is Provided

We will let you know what you need to do at home after your pet's prognosis is given to you. If your pet received surgery, you need to ensure the upkeep of the wound to keep it clean and free from further injury. You may also need to provide your pet with medication as he heals.
