Check-ups & Exams

At Oak Knoll Vet Clinic in Rolling Prairie, Indiana, we understand the importance of regular check-ups and exams for animals, which is why we offer comprehensive check-ups and exams for all types of pets. These check-ups are an essential aspect of preventative care and help to catch any health problems early on, before they become more serious.

During these appointments, our veterinarians will conduct a thorough examination of the pet, including a review of their medical history, a physical examination, and any necessary diagnostic tests. By detecting potential health issues early, pets can receive the appropriate treatment and care, which can improve their quality of life and potentially extend their lifespan.

Our clinic’s experienced veterinarians and support staff are dedicated to providing the best possible care for their patients and ensuring that their pets receive the check-ups and exams they need to stay healthy and happy.

At a check-up and exam, a range of services are performed to assess the overall health of your animal to address any potential health concerns. These services typically include:

• Review of medical history: The veterinarian will review the pet’s medical history, including any previous illnesses or conditions, treatments, and vaccinations.

• Physical examination: The pet will undergo a thorough physical examination, during which the veterinarian will check for any signs of illness or injury and assess their overall health.

• Diagnostic tests: Depending on the pet’s specific needs, the veterinarian may perform diagnostic tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or urinalysis, to help diagnose any underlying health issues.

• Weight and nutrition assessment: The veterinarian will assess the pet’s weight and body condition, and provide recommendations for a healthy diet and exercise plan.

• Vaccination update: The veterinarian will review the pet’s vaccination status and provide any necessary boosters or updated vaccinations.

• Behavioral and lifestyle assessment: The veterinarian will assess the pet’s behavior and lifestyle, taking into account any changes or concerns that the pet owner may have.

• Treatment plan: Based on the results of the check-up and exam, the veterinarian will develop a customized treatment plan to address any health issues and ensure the pet’s well-being.
