DIAGNOSTICS

Could an unknown illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When humans get sick or hurt, they visit the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, it’s not always this straightforward. Because animals aren’t able to speak, they can’t let us know when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, many animals are capable of hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

Veterinary diagnostics enable the team at Compassionate Care Veterinary Hospital to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Our convenient, on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many instances, we can have results in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment strategy in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical checkup and lab tests aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we rely on advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

The images we capture can then be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t risk it. Call Compassionate Care Veterinary Hospital right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
