Banjo, an Abyssinian cat
|
Love at first sight!
|
Girl Scout Troop 1594
|
The Abyssinian is one of the most popular shorthair breed of cats - known to be very affectionate and almost dog-like. This fiesty one is just that!
|
One of our more "famous" patients. Camilla, an actor is her own right, is seen here with fellow actor Kristen Davis.
|
The Girl Scouts from Edgewood Elementary School visited with Dr. Woltz and asked amazing questions! We enjoy teaching young minds about veterinary medicine and pet care.

Wallaby
|
Bladder Stones
|
Maizie
|
Our licensed veterinary technician, Leana, is administering vital subcutaneous fluids to this very cute, but dehydrated, wallaby. He was a very good patient!
|
Both dogs and cats can develop kidney and bladder stones, very similar to those found in humans. Stones can cause infection and, if a bladder stone becomes lodged in the urethra, the pet may be unable to urinate. This can be a life-threatening problem.
|
This is Dr. Woltz's pet. Maizie is a "working" dog, as she can be found greeting patients and their owners at Central Animal Hospital.

Ultrasound
|
Not Our Usual Patient....
|
Shetland Sheepdog
|
This is an ultrasound picture of a cat's heart. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that is used to help visualize internal organs.
|
Dr. Cheryl Gross and Billy the Goat. After a sucessful surgery by Dr. Gross, Billy returned to his home at Greenburgh Nature Center. Greenburgh Nature Center is a wonderful greenspace for learning about wildlife and local flora.
|
"Mac" is weighed in during a recent exam. Puppies and kittens need their booster vaccinations every 3 to 4 weeks until they reach 16 weeks old.

Hedgehog

X-ray of a Guinea Pig
|
Injured Wildlife
|
We treat many exotic patients, including hedgehogs, chinchillas, ferrets, turtles, snakes, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats.
|
An x-ray, or radiograph, is another non-invasive diagnostic tool that is used to evaluate internal organs and bones.
|
Our veterinarians help care for injured wildlife, as well as those who reside at Greenburgh Nature Center. Here, Dr. Lester Sills treats a red-tailed hawk.

|
Spaying
|
|
Female dogs and cats who have not been spayed can develop a severly infected uterus, or pyometra, like this one. Spaying your pet would prevent such an infection and higher risk surgery.
