The University of Tennessee Veterinary Teaching Hospital

We offer personalized nutritional counseling and weight management programs using therapeutic diets (e.g., renal support, obesity management) prescribed by our board-certified nutritionists. Our Wellevate Virtual Dispensary provides convenient access to specialized foods.

We perform comprehensive in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels, to assess organ function, electrolyte balance, and systemic diseases. Results are available quickly to guide emergency treatment decisions.

Our urinalysis services evaluate kidney function, urinary tract infections, and metabolic disorders by analyzing urine specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, and cellular components. This aids in diagnosing conditions like diabetes or bladder stones.

We provide digital radiography for rapid diagnosis of fractures, foreign bodies, or internal abnormalities. Our state-of-the-art equipment enables high-resolution imaging with minimal radiation exposure, supporting emergency and elective cases alike.

Our ultrasound services include abdominal, cardiac, and thoracic scans to evaluate organ function, detect fluid accumulations (e.g., pericardial effusion), or guide procedures like thoracocentesis. Ultrasound is a cornerstone of our emergency diagnostics.

Our blood pressure monitoring includes direct and indirect measurements to diagnose hypertension (e.g., in cats with kidney disease) or hypotension in critical patients. This data informs fluid therapy and vasopressor use during emergencies.

We offer telemetric and standard EKG/ECG monitoring to detect cardiac arrhythmias, assess heart function post-surgery, or evaluate patients with suspected heart disease. Our emergency team uses these tools for real-time cardiac assessment.

We provide digital dental radiography to assess tooth roots, bone loss from periodontal disease, or fractures not visible during clinical exams. This guides treatment plans for extractions or root canals.

Our oral surgery services include tooth extractions, cyst removals, and jaw fracture repairs using piezoelectric systems for precision. We also perform endodontic (root canal) therapy and restorative dentistry when indicated.

We perform routine spay/neuter surgeries using sterile techniques, pain management protocols, and postoperative monitoring to ensure safe recovery. These procedures are offered as part of our wellness packages or as standalone services.

Our foreign body removal services include surgical extraction of ingested objects or penetrating wounds using radiography/ultrasound guidance. We prioritize rapid intervention to prevent complications like perforations.

Our wound repair services include surgical closure of lacerations, debridement of contaminated wounds, and advanced techniques like chest tube placement for traumatic injuries. We utilize sterile environments and pain management to optimize healing.

We provide 24/7 emergency stabilization for critically ill or injured pets, including advanced diagnostics like telemetric ECG, pulse oximetry, and F.A.S.T. scans (ultrasound for trauma). Our team of board-certified criticalists and emergency specialists ensures immediate intervention for conditions such as trauma, seizures, poisoning, or organ failure.

We offer round-the-clock hospitalization in our state-of-the-art ICU (Aslan Intensive Care Unit), equipped with advanced monitoring for continuous assessment of vital signs, oxygen therapy, and specialized care. Patients receive individualized attention from our emergency/critical care team to ensure optimal recovery.

Our oxygen therapy services include high-flow nasal oxygen delivery, mechanical ventilation, and oxygen cages for patients requiring respiratory support. These modalities are critical for treating conditions like pneumonia, smoke inhalation, or post-anesthetic recovery.

We administer IV fluid therapy to maintain hydration, correct electrolyte imbalances, and support organ function in critically ill patients. Our emergency team tailors fluid protocols based on diagnostic findings (e.g., bloodwork, ultrasound) for optimal outcomes.

Our pain management services include constant-rate infusions (CRI), epidural blocks, local anesthesia, and advanced modalities like lipid emulsion therapy for toxin exposure. We prioritize multimodal analgesia to ensure comfort during recovery from surgery or chronic conditions.

We treat poisonings and toxin exposures with specialized therapies such as activated charcoal, lipid emulsions for certain toxins (e.g., chocolate, xylitol), and supportive care like IV fluids and blood pressure monitoring. Our emergency team follows evidence-based protocols to mitigate damage.

We offer oncology services, including chemotherapy protocols, radiation therapy (via partnerships with regional centers), and pain management for cancer patients. Our board-certified oncologists develop individualized treatment plans.

We provide advanced imaging with CT scans for bone/trauma assessment and MRI for soft tissue evaluation (e.g., spinal cord, brain). These modalities are critical for diagnosing complex cases like tumors or neurologic diseases.

We provide stem cell therapy as part of our regenerative medicine program for orthopedic injuries, joint disease, or degenerative conditions. Autologous stem cells are processed in-house and administered under veterinary supervision.

Our acupuncture services are performed by board-certified veterinarians to manage chronic pain, arthritis, and neurologic disorders. We use sterile needles and evidence-based protocols tailored to each patient’s needs.

We utilize cold laser therapy (photobiomodulation) to reduce inflammation, promote tissue healing, and alleviate pain in musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment is often combined with other rehabilitation modalities for optimal results.

We offer comprehensive physical therapy, including hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill), therapeutic laser, massage, and manual therapies like joint mobilization. Our board-certified specialists design customized plans for post-surgical recovery or chronic conditions.

Our hydrotherapy services use warm water treadmills to reduce joint stress in arthritic or post-operative patients while improving muscle strength and mobility. The buoyancy of water allows for low-impact exercise, accelerating recovery.

We provide quality of life assessments for senior or chronically ill pets using evidence-based tools (e.g., HHHHHMM scale) to guide owners in making informed decisions about treatment options or end-of-life care.

We offer telemedicine consultations for follow-up care, minor concerns, or prescription refills using secure video platforms. This service expands access to our expertise while reducing travel stress for pets and owners.
