Diagnostics
Diagnostic Laboratory
Laboratory diagnostics (i.e. blood and urine testing) are important in assessing the functionality of your pet’s organ and body systems. Each laboratory test provides a “snap-shot” of a specific aspect of your pet’s body. Using these lab diagnostics, the appropriate treatment can be instigated to help heal your family member’s disease process and restore health. Some of the most common diseases that we detect with lab screening are thyroid illness, diabetes, kidney disease and liver disease. Early detection and treatment of these diseases can prolong your pets life by several years.
Radiology
Radiology is another tool used to diagnose and treat disease via imaging. Radiographs are produced by the transmission of x-rays through the patient to a capture device and converted into an image. Once we obtain this image, it is looked at by the veterinarian, and then sent out for a consult by a radiologist.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique used to visualize internal organs, muscles, and tendons. Ultrasonic devices are used to capture size, structure, and any pathological lesions with real time images. Here at
