Dogs and cats can have accidents just like we can and sustain serious wounds.

She is one of the leading vets in the area for this particular form of treatment, and she has helped many pets recover from their injuries and go on to lead happy, healthy lives.

Wounds We Can Treat
Dr. Stone can treat a wide variety of wounds in dogs and cats, including:
- Deep tissue lacerations
- Puncture/bite wounds
- Burns
- Degloving wounds
- Contaminated wounds
Certain types of wounds in dogs and cats can be deceptive. For instance, bite wounds are not always obvious due to the fur covering them. If you even suspect that your dog or cat was attacked and injured but you don’t see significant bleeding, lean on the side of caution and contact Coronado Veterinary Hospital just to be safe!
