An ill pet can’t tell us where it hurts, but most owners know when they are suffering. It may be as obvious as a cut, tender spot, or tummy troubles, or simply an awareness that something just isn’t right.
Even a seemingly minor change in behavior or appearance might be a symptom of a serious health issue requiring treatment. Although you might think your pet’s injury or illness is minor and seek information online, we encourage you to be proactive in scheduling an appointment. An immediate and complete exam can help us accurately diagnose and effectively treat your pet’s condition before it worsens.
We provide a full range of diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your pet’s illness and to monitor how they respond to treatment. By studying the chemical composition of a sample of your pet’s blood or other bodily fluids, we can evaluate how well your pet’s organs function and identify specific diseases.
We take X-rays to help detect fractures, tumors, injuries, infections, or deformities. While they might not give us enough information to determine the exact cause of your pet’s problem, they can help us identify the next steps to diagnosis.
An ultrasound scan shows us the size and shape of many of your pet’s organs, helping us identify any abnormalities.
Whether we perform tests in-house or through our partnership with a freestanding laboratory, we obtain and review results quickly, accurately, and with a high level of confidence.
