diagnostic Services
A pet that appears healthy can often be hiding symptoms of disease. Routine blood testing helps your veterinarian learn things about your pet's health that cannot be spotted during routine physical examinations.
We are equipped with sophisticated instruments that allow us to measure many laboratory values. As a compliment to our regular laboratory services, our in-house diagnostic capabilities allow us to get results pre-surgically, or in an emergency, within minutes. show more ...
clinical laboratory
Our hospital is well equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment that helps our doctors to obtain a diagnosis quickly and to assess the patient's progress. We are able to do a complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry profiles, and electrolytes within a matter of minutes. This information is vital in an emergency or in the case of a seriously ill animal.
We can test for the presence of tick-borne diseases—Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis—during an office visit. We can also determine whether patients are carrying the feline leukemia or the feline immunosuppressive virus (FIV). We screen for Giardia, a protozoan that has human health implications. show more ...
We use ultrasound to evaluate animals for pregnancy, to examine the bladder for stones or tumors, and to evaluate the abdomen for the presence of tumors. This is a non-invasive technique that gives a more detailed image of soft tissue structures than X-rays do.
Ultrasound allows much greater diagnostic capabilities on your pet. We can see into the abdomen and examine the kidneys, liver, prostate or uterus. Ultrasound is the best way to evaluate the heart for diseases, allowing optimal treatment.
These imaging techniques are essential for assessing patients with a wide variety of ailments. We use X-rays to diagnose everything from broken bones to heart disease. Special procedures such as a barium series help us to evaluate the gastrointestinal tract and detect such problems as a foreign object creating an obstruction. We also use radiology to evaluate dogs for hip and elbow dysplasia. These radiographs are submitted to the Orthopedic Foundation of America (OFA) for those patients seeking certification. show more ...
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, performed on an anesthetized patient, which can have great diagnostic and therapeutic value. We use it to evaluate the stomach and intestinal tract, and we can take a biopsy of any abnormal tissue that we visualize.
Endoscopy is often used when routine blood and urine tests, x-rays and ultrasound do not provide a complete diagnostic picture. Endoscopy means "looking inside," and this diagnostic procedure allows our veterinarians to view the interior surfaces of your pet's organs without resorting to invasive surgery. An endoscope consists of a rigid or flexible tube, a light source and a camera. The endoscope transmits images of the organs to a monitor, giving your veterinarian to a clear, detailed view of your pet's organs. show more ...
An electrocardiogram, or ECG, is a machine that monitors and graphs the electrical signals of the heart. It provides diagnostic information about the heart's rate and rhythm; our veterinarians use the ECG machine to identify electrical disturbances and abnormalities in our patient's hearts.
We also use the ECG to monitor every anesthetized patient. In addition, our veterinarians may recommend an ECG screening during a geriatric patient examination. show more ...
Opthomology
The field of ophthalmology studies all the structures of the eye including the eyelids, tear ducts, eye globe and nerve paths.
Eye disease is very common in dogs and is also frequently seen in cats. show more ...
