VCA Veterinary Specialists of Northern Colorado

We perform comprehensive in-house bloodwork, including CBC and chemistry panels, for rapid diagnostic results. This service supports emergency care, pre-surgical evaluations, and ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions.

Our team conducts urinalysis as part of our diagnostic services to evaluate urinary tract health. This includes assessments for infections, kidney disease, and other metabolic disorders during emergency or routine evaluations.

We provide state-of-the-art digital radiography services, including routine X-rays and advanced imaging techniques like CT scans. Our board-certified radiologists read all radiographs at no extra charge to ensure accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders, dental issues, cardiovascular conditions, gastrointestinal problems, reproductive organ evaluations, and urinary system concerns.

We offer ultrasonography services for detailed internal imaging. This non-invasive diagnostic tool helps evaluate abdominal organs, heart function, pregnancy monitoring, and other soft tissue conditions. Our specialists use ultrasound to guide biopsies, fluid aspirations, and real-time assessments during emergency and critical care procedures.

Our hospital provides direct blood pressure monitoring for anesthetized patients and critically ill pets requiring long-term ventilation. We use advanced techniques to ensure accurate assessment of cardiovascular status during emergencies or surgeries.

We offer continuous ECG monitoring for patients with heart disease or those undergoing anesthesia, surgery, or critical care. This includes telemetry for real-time arrhythmia detection and advanced cardiac output monitoring in our ICU.

Our emergency team specializes in the removal of ingested or lodged foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal tract or other areas. We use advanced imaging and surgical techniques to ensure safe extraction and recovery.

We perform C-sections for complicated deliveries, ensuring the safety of both mother and puppies/kittens. Our emergency services are available 24/7 to handle urgent obstetric cases.

Our critical care team administers IV fluid therapy to maintain hydration and stabilize patients during emergencies, surgeries, or chronic illnesses. We monitor fluid balance closely using advanced techniques like central venous pressure monitoring when necessary.

We offer aggressive analgesia (pain management) tailored to each patient’s needs. Our team uses preemptive and continuous pain control strategies, including pharmacological treatments and advanced monitoring during procedures or recovery periods.

We provide advanced imaging services including CT scans and MRIs for precise diagnosis of complex conditions. These technologies offer detailed visualization of internal organs, soft tissues, nasal/pulmonary diseases, and spinal abnormalities, aiding in surgical planning and accurate treatment strategies.

We provide acupuncture as part of our integrative medicine offerings. This therapy helps manage pain, inflammation, and various conditions such as arthritis, neurological disorders, and gastrointestinal issues by stimulating natural healing responses.

We offer cold laser therapy (low-level laser therapy) to promote cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing in pets with muscle/joint injuries, osteoarthritis, or post-surgical wounds. This non-invasive treatment enhances mobility and comfort.
