Our pets can't tell us how they feel, and often, outward signs of underlying illness are subtle - until the illness becomes severe.
This is why annual wellness exams (or semiannual for older pets) are critical to maintaining your pet's overall health.
Physical exams, blood panels, and urinalysis can reveal a problem in its earliest stages - when it's still treatable or manageable - and before it makes your animal companion gravely ill.
At your pet's wellness exam, Dr. Murphy will conduct a health assessment that includes checking your pet's ears and mouth, listening to your pet's heart, feeling the abdomen for abnormalities, weighing your pet, asking questions regarding your pet's behavior and any physical changes, administering appropriate vaccines, and collecting blood and urine samples for testing.

Clients are often surprised to hear that cats and dogs should not have bad breath - at least not all the time!
Chronic halitosis can be a sign of gum disease or a more serious underlying medical condition, such as problems in the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, or internal organs.
Regular dental cleanings not only improve your pet's smile, they also help prevent gum disease, which can cause bad breath and can lead to painful chewing and tooth loss.
Additionally, bacteria that build up in the gums can actually travel to your pet's organs, causing issues with the heart, kidneys, or liver if left unchecked.

Is your pet excessively scratching or biting his or her skin?
It could be an allergy to the environment, a food sensitivity, or any one of a number of common skin conditions.
Many skin conditions look the same, making a thorough exam and appropriate testing necessary to help your pet get relief.
Dr. Murphy has significant experience treating pet allergies and skin conditions, and our advanced diagnostic tests make it easier to pinpoint the fungus, bacteria, or allergy affecting your pet.
Pollen, grass, mold spores, ragweed, and dust mites can trigger reactions in dogs and cats, just as they can in humans.
