Our pet hospital is equipped with a fully digital radiology unit (digital x-ray machine). We can obtain very detailed images quickly and can utilize over-the-internet radiology specialists to review x-rays when needed. We have the ability to perform ultrasounds in the hospital. An ultrasound is non-painful, and generally, no sedation is necessary. We can perform ultrasounds of the heart or the abdomen, showing amazing detail of various organs including the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, and the bladder.
Diagnostics
X-rays
A radiograph (X-ray) is a type of photograph that looks inside the body and reveals information that may not be discernible from the outside. Radiography can be used to evaluate your pet’s internal organs like the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, as well as bones. When it comes to accurately diagnosing your pet, radiology can be an extremely valuable tool in our diagnostic arsenal.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonography, or ultrasound, is a diagnostic imaging technique similar to radiography (X-rays) and is often used in conjunction with radiography and other diagnostics. It allows us to visualize certain organs very thoroughly, including the heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, bladder, spleen, and intestines. It can also be useful to detect and monitor pregnancy. We work closely with specialists, people who have dedicated their entire lives to imaging, so you get the most out of this fantastic diagnostic tool. To ensure the highest level of care, an internist is scheduled to perform the full ultrasound, provide a detailed report, and offer recommendations. This comprehensive approach not only enhances accuracy but also saves your pet a trip to a specialty office.
Our pets cannot tell us what’s wrong, and that’s why laboratory tests and diagnostic imaging are so important. But we do more than just offer you state-of-the-art diagnostic tests, we choose the tests that will guide us toward the perfect, tailor-made solution for your pet’s needs.
Our pet hospital is equipped with in-house laboratory testing. Our Lasercyte and Catalyst equipment is state-of-the-art for evaluating blood panels. We can also perform urine and fecal tests, obtain various cytology or biopsy samples, and we utilize multiple reference laboratories for more specialized testing. We can also perform in-hospital testing for canine parvovirus, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia (FeLV), pancreatitis, heartworm testing, and tick-borne diseases.
We are committed to providing accurate and timely lab results for the benefit of your pet thanks to our extensive in-house laboratory capabilities.
