New Innovations in Technology

The animal industry is not just growing because of advertisements, television shows, and adoption fairs, as mentioned before, but it is also growing because of the new technologies that are being made for veterinarians. Many owners of pets, big and small, were sometimes reluctant in taking their pet to the vet because of fear of pain and stress on their animal. True, a trip to the doctor can be stressful for animals of any kind but if procedures are needed besides simple exams and vaccinations, the stress has greatly been reduced as well as recovery time after surgery. Owners are now set more at ease on the safety of their pet during medical procedures.

At Park Hills Animal Hospital in Kentucky, new technology is used everyday. For example they use the Med-Rx Scope. This is used to ear problems and perform biopsies of internal organs. Also, they use a radio wave unit for specialized surgeries. This technology results in less pain and discomfort before and after the surgery. Along with the radio wave unit, a digital radiography unit is used for clear, crisper radiographs. All of these new innovations allow the doctors to diagnose and treat pets fast and accurately.

Besides the new technologies that Park Hills Animal Hospital, and many other hospitals use, other technology is used that aids in reducing pain and stress on animals when going to the vet. For example, Middendorf Animal Hospital in Kentucky uses laser technology which is relatively new and requires special training from the doctor. Laser surgery has improved the treatment of many disease states previously treated with a scalpel or electrosurgical unit. The laser provides the surgeon with improved homeostasis while reducing pain and swelling.

On top of Laser surgery, a new type of Laser therapy has been created called MLS therapy which is therapy used for treating pain and inflammation. It has overcome the restrictions of laser therapy used for over 25 years because it has shorter treatment times and long lasting effects. Also, HILT therapy was created on top of MLS therapy to treat more deep seated conditions. It's non toxic and be performed without damaging surrounding tissue. After some sessions, pain from inflammatory conditions can completely be cured.

These new innovations in technology used by many vets has made the experience for animals less painful and less stressful. Now more owners are willing to take their pet to the vet for these reasons which helps the vet and animal industry to grow.
