Equipment
Digital X-ray:
Lone Peak is proud to be one of very few clinics in
the area to use digital computerized radiography. This
technology enables us to take fewer x-rays to get the
perfect image, and to send X-rays to specialists with
ease.

Dental X-ray:
Still a relatively new technology in veterinary medicine,
dental X-rays enable us to understand the health of
the entire tooth, not just the part we can see. We can't
imagine pulling teeth without having dental X-rays at
our disposal. Dental X-ray plates also give us excellent
images of other body parts such as paws of very small
animals, and the nasal sinuses, which are both difficult
to image using conventional X-ray plates.

Ultrasound:
Ultrasound enables us to visualize the abdomen and the
heart with greater accuracy than X-ray alone. This technology
can be used to evaluate pregnancies, the urinary bladder,
and organs such as the liver and kidneys.

Tonopen:
This tool allows us to read the pressure inside your
pet's eyeball! This is an important tool in detecting
glaucoma and other eye diseases.

Cryoprobe:
The cryoprobe allows us to treat distichia, or eyelashes
that grow in an abnormal position. This condition can
be very painful and irritating to your pet's eye. This
tool uses liquid nitrogen to freeze hair follicles and
prevents regrowth of the hairs.

Fluid pumps:
Fluids pumps enable us to administer exact volumes of
fluids to your pets, and ensure that fluid therapy continues
during overnight stays.

Warming platforms and heating pads:
Keeping your pet warm during procedures speeds their
recovery from anesthesia. Warming platforms provide
constant heat beneath your pet and pads flowing with
heated water laid on top keep your pet cozy and warm.
