Digital Radiography

Colmar Veterinary Hospital is a full service small animal veterinary hospital with state of the art equipment and medicine. Your pet's health and well being is our top priority. Our staff enjoys treating small animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, guinea pigs and reptiles.
Prevention and early detection of illness and disease are hallmarks of a sound care plan for pets. The most effective way of achieving these is by regularly scheduled wellness visits, routine bloodwork and vaccinations given at appropriate times throughout your pet’s life. These simple steps can help reduce the likelihood of serious and costly health problems that are difficult for both pets and families to manage.
At Colmar Veterinary Hospital, we tailor vaccination protocols to your pet’s individual needs and lifestyle risks.
At Colmar Veterinary Hospital, we put forth full effort to ensure your pet’s procedure is performed to the highest standard of care. Bloodwork is analyzed to identify and address any underlying conditions prior to anesthesia.
Our experienced technicians closely monitor your pet’s vital signs including heart rate, ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and temperature throughout the entire procedure. Fluids are delivered through an intravenous catheter to maintain hydration. Pets receive pain medication and TLC from our loving staff to ensure a smooth recovery.
Human studies have shown that oral health directly correlates to one’s overall health status. It is no different for your pets. Routine brushing, annual oral exams and periodic professional dental cleanings are proven to improve and extend your pet’s life.
Dental check-ups can find serious dental disease previously unrecognized since many pets do not overtly show the discomfort associated with infection, decay and pain.

When your pet is sick, we are able to perform full bloodwork in our clinic while you wait. Our current blood analyzers can determine organ function, red blood cell, white blood cell and platelet levels and electrolytes and glucose readings in approximately 30 minutes. This rapid turnaround time enables us to determine a treatment plan for your pet before you leave the clinic.
Ultrasonography is a noninvasive, painless, and radiation-free procedure that allows the veterinarian to examine your pet’s internal structures, diagnose maladies, and treat ailments affecting a wide array of organ systems including the heart, liver, kidneys and bladder. A small probe (transducer) placed directly on the skin of the animal transmits high frequency sounds waves through the body. Sound waves that bounce back (echo) are collected by the transducer to create an image of the structures or organs of your pet.
Caring for sick pets and making the difficult decision to euthanize your pet are two of the most emotional and challenging experiences for families.
Colmar Veterinary Hospital aims to assist during these difficult times by offering hospice care and in-home euthanasia.
Notice: Due to Covid-19 safety protocol we are unable to offer in-home euthanasia at this time.
Nutrition is the foundation of a healthy, happy pet. Providing the proper nutrients to the body is essential to maintaining health and preventing disease. Food therapy can be used alone or in conjunction with other medications to treat disease. Colmar Veterinary Hospital offers a variety of prescription dog and cat foods for specific medical conditions as well as personalized consultations for those interested in home-made balanced diets.
Colmar Veterinary Hospital’s K-Laser Therapy is an FDA cleared therapeutic treatment that manages pain and inflammation while accelerating tissue regeneration. Laser energy increases circulation, drawing water, oxygen, and nutrients to the damaged area.

We offer single treatments for acute illnesses as well as complete laser packages for chronic conditions.

Each year, millions of pets are brought to shelters throughout the United States, many of which are lost pets of heart-broken families. There is a much greater chance of finding your lost pet if he/she is microchipped and properly registered with important contact information.
A microchipped animal that is brought to Colmar Veterinary Hospital will be scanned and the information will be used to contact the owner and reunite the family with their pet.
