Imaging

One benefit of coming to Animal Medical for senior pet care is our ability to look at the internal organs of your pet on demand. This means that if doctors suspect something is not normal, they can use our digital radiography or our ultrasound technology to visualize your pet’s internal organs while you wait.

Mobility

Though it may not seem apparent to you, most senior animals experience some level of arthritic pain. Arthritis is a kind of self-fulfilling illness. Painful pets are less likely to exercise leading to weight gain, which in turn puts more stress on painful joints and exacerbates the problem. And it’s all needless suffering! Animal medical has numerous, affordable ways to treat joint pain and mobility issues, medication only being one of them! Animal medical employs Rockland County’s ONLY certified canine rehabilitation doctor, veterinarian Lisa Schenkel. Under the direction of Dr. Schenkel, our rehab program is one of our area’s most effective and progressive.
