You Should Know

Riverview Animal Hospital is an urgent care facility for the Four Corners area that does not provide specialized emergency services for extremely critical patients. We will advise you when a referral is recommended for advanced diagnostics and treatments by a specialty facility.

Communication between the doctor and the pet owner is essential to provide the best possible veterinary service. We will do our best to provide an estimate for you; however, we sometimes must run tests or do procedures that we do not anticipate when giving you an estimate.

We will do our best to inform you of any tests or procedures we must do, which will cause an increase in your estimate. We will perform the diagnostics discussed and keep in contact with you as information becomes available. If the doctor determines that any additional diagnostics or treatments are necessary, we will do our best to inform you of these and the costs associated. Your pet may require sedation or anesthesia for the discussed diagnostics and treatments. All patients receiving sedation or anesthesia will receive an otoscopic exam and nail trim at no charge. However, if an ear infection or foreign body is found, appropriate treatment will be initiated.

If the doctor feels it is necessary, intravenous fluids will be administered to your pet during and after surgery to help maintain blood pressure, replace fluid loss, speed recovery, and, in case of emergency, provide an essential line for life-saving drugs.

We are proud to offer sophisticated monitoring systems (EKG, Doppler blood pressure, and pulse oximetry) to be used during all surgical procedures. Your pet will be closely monitored by one of our caring, highly trained anesthesia technicians working closely with the doctor.

We recognize that pets recovering from surgery feel pain and stress. Your pet will be given appropriate analgesic (pain-relieving) injections or oral medications to be kept comfortable before, during, and following surgery. Your pet will be recovered in a warm, padded cage under the watchful eye of our staff members.
