Essential Diagnostic Services: Bloodwork & Laboratory Testing

Laboratory and internal testing provide invaluable, non-invasive insights into your pet’s overall systemic health and function.

Advanced Imaging: Radiology and Ultrasound

Our hospital utilizes advanced imaging techniques to look non-invasively inside your pet’s body for a precise and accurate diagnosis of internal issues.

Pet Radiology (X-rays)

Our state-of-the-art digital radiology provides high-quality images of bones, organs, and soft tissues. This service is essential for:

• Skeletal assessment: Accurately diagnosing fractures, joint diseases (like arthritis or hip dysplasia), and foreign objects.
• Soft tissue and organ evaluation: Detecting tumors, assessing organ size and placement, and identifying issues in the chest (heart and lungs) and abdomen (GI tract).

Ultrasound Examinations

A pet ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time, detailed images of internal organs and blood flow. This specialized tool is used for:

• In-depth organ view: Providing a cross-sectional view of abdominal and thoracic organs for complex issues.
• Guided procedures: Used to precisely guide biopsies or fluid sampling.
• Monitoring: Assessing gastrointestinal problems, monitoring pregnancy, and evaluating masses.

• Early detection of diseases before symptoms become severe.
