We can take the pressure!

Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital has taken yet another step forward providing our patients with the most modern diagnostic equipment available by purchasing a ParksDoppler Blood Pressure Monitor.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is now recognized as a frequent problem in our senior pets. It is a complicating factor in many of our pets with kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid conditions, obesity and conditions with excessive cortisone levels. Unrecognized and uncontrolled hyper- tension can result in sudden blindness, heart disease, progressive kidney disease and neurological damage.

Now for some encouraging words! The Parks Doppler Blood Pressure Monitor is very accurate in determining blood pressure in our pets, and can be done quickly and without discomfort or risk. Plus, new research has found safe, effective medications to control this disease and prevent the damage it can create.
