Our in-house laboratory can perform a variety of diagnostic procedures for your pet, including blood counts, serum chemistries, electrolytes, cross-matching and parasite identification. These procedures allow us help diagnose disease and acute symptoms easily, without giving your pet stress or discomfort.
Digital radiography provides instant images, allowing for rapid diagnoses for your pet. Our highly-trained staff uses our state-of-the-art equipment to quickly and efficiently diagnose your pet. Our veterinarians can also e-mail x-rays to a certified specialist for expert analysis. Your radiographs can be viewed online so that you can conveniently see your pet's x-rays.
An ultrasound is similar to an x-ray, but provides real time evaluation of your pet's organs. Ultrasounds can locate non-radiopaque foreign bodies in the intestine without costly and time consuming x-ray procedures, leading to earlier intervention and surgical removal. An ultrasound examination is less invasive, less stressful and more comfortable for your pet.
A videoscope allows our veterinarians to look inside your pet's ear using a small camera. This allows the doctor and you to actually see disease conditions of the ear that include ear mites, excess wax build up, tumors, and ruptured ear drums. The videoscope can also be attached to another camera to take pictures of the oral cavity to document diseased teeth and gum problems. We can also attach the camera to a microscope to take pictures of anything seen under the microscope slide. Using the videoscope we can take biopsies of the ear canal and use a flexible rubber tube to clean and suction out wax and debris from the ear canal.
We offer the latest in ECG technology with computer assisted diagnosis to detect diseases and conduction problems of the heart. The ECG is used with the surgical/anesthetic monitoring that is coupled with other monitors to measure blood pressure, oxygen levels, CO2 levels.
We provide annual blood pressure evaluations for all dogs and cats over seven years of age. This allows for early detection of high blood pressure, before organ damage can occur.
