Our
Facility:
At
Leesburg Veterinary Hospital, we strive to provide you and your pet
with cutting edge medicine and service, loving and compassionate care,
as well as the best customer service. It is important that you be
familiar and comfortable with our doctors and staff as well as our
facility. So please, come right in and take a "tour" of
Leesburg Veterinary Hospital!
When
you first enter our hospital, our Client Care Specialists will greet
you. They will help to check in your patient and determine what your
pet needs during his or her visit. Once you are checked-in, please
make yourself comfortable in our spacious waiting room that has designated
dog and cat waiting areas. Feel free to visit with the kitties that
are up for adoption, browse our food selections, pick a toy for your
pet, or to look at our exciting fish tank to help pass the time!
A
Veterinary Assistant will then greet you and guide you and your pet
to an examination room. Our examination rooms are stocked with such
equipment as a lift-table, x-ray viewers, and many models to help
with client education. The bulk of your visit will be spent in one
of these exam rooms as the doctor examines your pet and discusses
plans for preventative health care or to help treat any problems your
pet may have. At Leesburg Veterinary Hospital, we pride ourselves
on client communication and education and the doctors and staff will
spend extra time explaining each step of the exam or how to do such
things as clean your pet's ears or brush his or her teeth.
As
you venture into the back part of our hospital, you will first encounter
our pharmacy and laboratory area. At Leesburg Veterinary Hospital,
we have invested a lot in our laboratory equipment and staff training.
Our full service, in house laboratory can be used to run many tests
including heartworm and Felv/FIV tests, fecal exams, urinalysis, CBC
and serum chemistries, as well as clotting times. We also strive to
keep our pharmacy well stocked so we can keep a wide variety of medications
available for you. In doing so, you will be able to leave your visit
with any medications your pet may need. If needed, we can also mail
prescriptions to your home but please give us 24 hours notice for
any prescription refills!
Our
treatment area is often bustling with activity. There are ICU cages
here so that surgery patients or animals with critical illnesses can
be closely monitored by our doctors and veterinary technicians. A
treatment board helps to ensure that patients receive treatments they
need at appropriate times. Routine procedures such as veinipuncture,
nail trims, and suture removals are also performed here.
We
have invested a lot of time and expense to help make our surgery suite
as state-of-the art as possible. Each day, a surgeon and technician
work together to provide each patient the most smooth and safe procedures
as possible. A surgery technician closely monitors all patients under
anesthesia and during recovery. We also utilize equipment to monitor
vital signs such as blood pressure, body temperature, ECG, and pulse
oximetry. All anesthetized patients are placed on IV fluids that are
delivered through an IV fluid warmer and pump. The surgery suite is
also stocked with 2 anesthesia machines, circulating warm water blankets,
a warm air blanket, dental x-ray, as well as a dental unit with a
drill.
Our
radiology services consist of both x-ray and ultrasound. Our x-ray
machine is isolated in a separate room to protect staff and other
animals from exposure to scatter radiation. Our x-rays are developed
in an automatic processor and can be viewed on light boxes both in
the treatment area as well as each exam room. The ultrasound is also
kept in a separate, quiet area where proper time and concentration
can be devoted to examining your pet. We try to ensure each patient's
comfort during these procedures with padded troughs and blankets.
Our ultrasound machine can be used for many tests ranging from assessing
fetus health to finding bladder stones to scanning for tumors.
