Dental Care & Procedures
Our veterinary technicians have undergone extensive dental
training, ensuring each pet receives the highest quality of care. Dr. Neil
Marrinan also attends annual dental seminars to stay up to date on the newest
techniques and advancements in veterinary dentistry.
Oral ATP (Assessment, Treatment, Planning) : Each dental procedure begins with a thorough oral assessment. We evaluate your pet’s teeth and gums, address any issues found, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Digital Dental X-Rays: Digital radiographs allow us to evaluate the health of your pet’s teeth below the gumline, where many problems cannot be seen during a visual exam.
Scaling & Polishing: Using instruments like those used in human dentistry, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from your pet’s teeth. After cleaning, the teeth are polished to smooth the enamel and help prevent future buildup.
Specialized Exotic Care
Our practice is proud to offer care for a variety of exotic pets, including rabbits, reptiles, pocket pets, and chickens. Exotic animals have unique needs, and our team is experienced in providing attentive exams, guidance, and treatment tailored to these special companions.
Acupuncture
The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recognizes veterinary acupuncture as a valid form of treatment, and it can be used for pain management and to treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological, and respiratory issues in animals.
Vaccines
Veterinary vaccines help protect pets and animals from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. By stimulating the immune system, vaccines prepare the body to recognize and fight infections before they can cause illness.
Puppies and Kittens
At Old Lyme Veterinary Hospital, we proudly offer comprehensive care for puppies and kittens, including vaccinations, spays, neuters and preventive services. Our team is here to support your pet every step of the way into adulthood, with personalized vaccine schedules, nutrition guidance, and expert growth and development tips.
Senior Pet Care
Better care means dogs and cats are living longer now than they ever have before—and, as pets get older, they need extra care and attention.
Surgery
Dr. Neil Marrinan, chief surgeon at Old Lyme Veterinary Hospital, performs spay and neuter procedures as well as a wide range of small animal surgeries. For more advanced surgical needs, Dr. Steve Heyman, a board-certified surgeon, visits Old Lyme Veterinary Hospital to perform soft tissue procedures and other specialized surgeries.
