Maple Knoll Veterinary Clinic goes DIGITAL


Maple Knoll Veterinary Clinic has upgraded to digital radiography.  This new x-ray technology has been incorporated into many human hospitals and clinics and is now available for your pets right here in Waupun.  Digital radiography gives more detailed images and allows adjustments to the x-ray after the image has been taken.  This results in more accurate diagnosis, fewer “retakes” and, therefore, less x-ray exposure risk for your pets and the people who take the x-rays.


Maple Knoll Veterinary Clinic has always taken pride in utilizing the latest advancements in technology.  Staying on the leading edge, Maple Knoll Veterinary Clinic has incorporated minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic diagnostic techniques.  These procedures incorporate the use of a tiny camera to visualize the inside of the ear, nose, bladder or even to perform abdominal surgery through a single incision the size of a dime minimizing pain and recovery time for your pets.  Maple Knoll Veterinary Clinic also utilizes state-of-the-art bone anchors for cruciate ligament repair (compare to acl in people). 

In addition to those advancements, ultrasound and electrocardiography (ECG) have been a part of Maple Knoll’s diagnostic tools for many years.  Ultrasound can be used for a variety of things from diagnosing pregnancy to identifying abdominal organ tumors and even assisting with obtaining a urine sample.  ECG is utilized as a diagnostic test to evaluate the heart and also as a pre-surgical screening tool to help ensure safety of anesthesia.

The veterinarians and staff at Maple Knoll Veterinary Clinic strive to provide the best care for you pets.  Implementing the latest technologies helps to achieve just that.
