Diagnostic Services
Digital Radiology
Our digital x-ray system and paperless medical records decreases the amount of waste and contamination to our community and to our planet. Once the digital x-rays are taken, they are uploaded to a central website, www.vetpacs.com where they may be viewed with your own, unique, webcode. Please call the hospital for your webcode.
In-House Laboratories
We have two in house laboratories to provide blood tests in as little as 30 minutes, helping to provide a quick diagnosis. Faster answers means faster decisions and a faster return to your pet's health.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that complements x-rays and allows our clinicians to better visualize internal organs in the chest and abdomen. This painless diagnostic technique is normally done without sedation of your pet. Ultrasound is invaluable for making treatment decisions for various types of heart disease. It also allows us to biopsy organs such as the liver, kidney and spleen through a tiny "keyhole" incision. Using the ultrasound image as a guide, major surgery is avoided and your pet can often go home the same day.
