Lakeway Veterinary Clinic offers the Lakeway animal community the highest quality of medical, surgical, and dental veterinary care.  Our facility is equipped with the latest medical equipment and staff who are trained to excel in their work and who care deeply about the well-being of their patients. Because we have an in-house pharmacy, lab, radiology facilities, and full surgical suite, our facility enables you to make one stop for your pet's medical care. 

Medical Exams and Vaccinations
Exams at least once a year are important for your pet’s continued good health. This is especially important as your pet ages.   We examine your pet’s ears, skin, coat, eyes, paws, nails, lungs, heart and temperature, etc. We provide all vaccinations required to keep your pet safe from diseases, and offer preventative flea control products.

We provide expert guidance regarding your pet’s nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, aging, and weight management.  As well, we provide advice regarding the correction of problems like excessive barking, chewing or spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling and aggression.

Microchipping
Lakeway Veterinary Clinic offers the Home Again Microchip Pet Recovery System.  We are proud to be the first clinic in Austin to have a universal scanner capable of identifying any chip your pet may have previously received.

Please ask us about implanting a chip in your pet today!  The process is the same as receiving a shot, and your pet will be added to a national database for recovery, in the event they become lost.

Surgery and Anesthesia
Our fully-equipped surgical suite offers the most advanced technology in monitoring, state-of-the-art equipment, and a highly-trained staff that provide excellent patient care and outstanding post-surgical management.  We utilize the safest available anesthetics and pain management to provide that extra margin of safety, especially for our older, high risk, or exotic patients.

Dr. Lorenzini has over 15 years of surgical experience in basic to extensive orthopedic procedures. Dr. Skinner is a general surgeon and also has experience with many dental procedures.

Surgical Tools and Practices used at Lakeway Veterinary Clinic:
• Pre-operative blood profiles performed in our lab before your pet is anesthetized.
• Complete orthopedic equipment.
• Special head lamps and magnifiers for detailed procedures.
• Gas anesthesia machines that are supplied with Isoflurane gas (one of the safest gas anesthetics used in both human and veterinary medicine) and constant monitoring by a trained technician.
• Monitoring equipment includes EKG, blood pressure apparatus, intravenous fluid monitors, end-tidal C02 monitors, and pulse oximeters.
• Proper pain medications administered as needed.

Dentistry
Regular dental checkups are essential in helping us monitor the progress of your pet’s dental health. Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions, capping broken teeth and oral surgery.  All dental procedures at Lakeway Veterinary Clinic require some form of sedation, usually general anesthesia.  Your pet is monitored closely by our specially trained and very gentle veterinary technicians.

Radiology
Our radiology facility is equipped with a high-quality x-ray machine and a radiograph processor that enable us to have x-rays available for viewing within minutes.  We also have a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine that provides our veterinarians with images of internal organs within seconds, as well as aiding the doctor in performing guided biopsies.

Our in-house laboratory offers many convenient services for our clients. At Lakeway Veterinary Clinic, we have the capability to do a wide variety of tests, so that we can provide prompt test results. This is especially important for emergency cases.  Although most tests can be processed on-site, we also utilize local clinical pathology labs to process more specialized tests.
