Diagnostic Procedures
Blood & Lab Tests

Annual blood testing helps to determine a normal baseline for your pet.

Trending these results over time allows to diagnose problems early and treating it timely.

Lab testing can also reveal the presence of certain illnesses or diseases and rule out others.

Radiology (X-Rays)

When we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we use x-rays to help identify the cause of the problem.

X-rays help us look for arthritis, broken bones, foreign objects, dental issues, enlarged organs, or respiratory dysfunction.

We use radiology alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools.

To avoid a blurry image, pets need to remain completely still while an x-ray is taken.

In some cases, we may need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anaesthesia.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure that uses sound waves to examine a pet's internal organs and other structures inside the body.

It can be used to evaluate the animal’s heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, and bladder; to detect fluid, cysts, tumours, or abscesses; and to confirm pregnancy or monitor an ongoing pregnancy.
