Diagnostics


  • Ultrasound:  Ultrasound allows us to evaluate the internal structure of organs such as the liver, kidneys and bladder. In some cases, we may be able to avoid surgery by using ultrasound to guide needle biopsies of internal organs.
  • Endoscopy:  The best and most non-invasive way to diagnose diseases affecting the internal lining of the intestines is with endoscopy. Through the endoscope our veterinarians can do a visual exam of the esophagus, stomach, upper small intestine, and colon. 
  • Doppler Blood Pressure:  Just as in human medicine, blood pressure is a very important to measure and monitor in pets. Blood pressure measurements are more difficult to obtain in pets than in people, that is why we use a doppler unit, the most accurate non-invasive method to obtain blood pressures in pets.

  • Tonometry:  Glaucoma in pets is a serious and very painful disease of the eye. The accurate diagnosis of glaucoma is difficult without specialized equipment. We use a tonometer to quickly and accurately determine if your pet's intra-occular pressures are too high - the primary indicator of glaucoma.  The procedure takes only seconds to perform and causes no discomfort to the patient.
  • Dentistry:  Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and oral surgery.

  • Radiology Services:  Our on-site, modern X-ray equipment provides high quality radiographs to aid in the diagnosis of many disorders.
  • Electrocardiography Services:  We provide ECG services on-site as well as consultations with cardiology specialists.
  • Laboratory:  Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for serum chemistry, hematology, serology, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also utilize commercial veterinary laboratories for specialized diagnostics and consultations.
