We believe that all of our patients benefit from a yearly examination, which is done at no charge at the time of vaccinations. The state of Oklahoma has approved the use of 3-year rabies vaccines, but some areas of the state still require annual rabies vaccines, so your veterinarian will help you decide which vaccine option is right for your pet. We highly recommend annual DHPPC vaccines for dogs and FVRCP/FELV vaccines for cats. The yearly physical enables us to have an ongoing record of your pet's health, and your pet's doctor will keep you advised of the different needs of dogs and cats as they mature and grow older.
The staff at Wedgewood is dedicated to preserving the health of our patients and we encourage an in-depth approach to animal health. We offer an on-site laboratory, sophisticated intensive care and dental equipment, and full diagnostic radiology. Surgical patients are usually required to submit blood and/or urine samples for pre-surgical analysis. We use only the safest anesthestics available, including isoflurane gas, and all surgical patients are monitored for heartrate and oxygen saturation. Body temperature is maintained by warming equipment for each patient. Most procedures are discussed with the veterinarian prior to initiation, and options as far as extent of treatment and fees are thus understood.
We have been fortunate to care for dogs and cats belonging to many people who consider these animals as members of their families. It has been our pleasure to provide these clients with the very latest in diagnostic and surgical procedures. We have initiated and coordinated ongoing therapy for cancer patients, including surgery and chemotherapy, with very favorable outcomes. Dr. Lee has extensive experience in emergency and critical care and is an invaluable resource in these areas.
Dr. Benham has a special interest in surgery and has performed numerous feline thyroidectomies, with excellent results. 
He also routinely performs several of the more difficult canine orthopedic procedures, including patellar and cruciate ligament injury repairs. The veterinarians at Wedgewood encourage you to be an active participant in your pet's health care needs, and will try to help you with any questions or problems you may have. We have access to numerous board-certified veterinarians in the Oklahoma City area should we have the need for specialists in internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, or dermatology.
