Pet DiagnosticsRadiology ( x-ray) and Ultrasonography Radiographs (x-rays) are extremely helpful for diagnosing and monitoring many medical and surgical conditions. X-rays are useful in examining your pet's bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, oral cavity and other areas of the body. An x-ray can spot a fractured bone, detect cancerous tumors, diagnose heartworm disease and locate an obstruction or foreign body in your pet's stomach or intestine. When used in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures like ultrasound, x-rays can accurately diagnose problems, making your pet's surgery less traumatic and complicated. Ultrasound is a valuable, non-invasive imaging procedure that complements x-rays and allows our veterinarians to better visualize internal organs in the chest and abdomen. During an ultrasound, high-frequency sound-waves are directed into the body and bounce off the organs, creating a computer image of the inside of the body. This painless diagnostic technique is usually done without sedation of your pet. |

Animal Hospital and Laboratory TestingSince your sick pet cannot tell us what is wrong, veterinarians must sometimes supplement physical exams with sophisticated diagnostic testing.We work with outside referral labs to allow us measuring more than 100 laboratory values, with results often available in one day. Along with heartworm testing, complete blood count, blood-chemistry panel, urinalysis and fecal examination are the most common laboratory tests performed at our hospital. To help prevent periodontal disease in your pet, it's recommended to have your pets' teeth examined every 6 to 12 months.
