Pet Diagnostic Services
Our Advanced Diagnostic Services Provide Important Answers to Your Pet’s Condition
When your pet has a medical problem, we have the most advanced diagnostic equipment in-house allowing our veterinarians to diagnose your pet when they are sick or acting “not quite right”. We are serious about early detection of disease to ensure the best health of your pet. The use of our diagnostic equipment allows our expert veterinary team to gain a more complete picture of your pet’s overall health and of the specific medical problem he/she might be experiencing.
Diagnostic Tools:
Ultrasound
Ultrasound services utilize equipment that enables our veterinarians to look at your pet’s organs, such as the liver, kidneys, heart or spleen, from many different angles and in real-time. It is a painless, non-invasive and safe tool and generally does not require your pet to be sedated. Organs can actually be seen as they are functioning, a key non-surgical advantage.
Digital X-ray
Digital Radiology (digital x-rays) enables us to evaluate muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular (cardiopulmonary), gastrointestinal, reproductive and urinary systems. There are many advantages to this new, advanced technology that facilitate the accurate diagnosis of your pet’s potential medical issues, including:
- Digital x-rays are faster than traditional x-rays because no processing of film is necessary.
- Reduced exposure to radiation as compared to conventional radiography.
- Images are available for immediate interpretation by the veterinarian.
- Increased image resolution, and the ability to manipulate images for better diagnostic usage.
- Reduced stress on your pet due to less time on the x-ray table.
