Advanced Care
& Surgery

When your pet is not feeling well or has had an accident you want to know he or she will be in the right hands. Whether it be diagnostic testing, first aid, medications, radiographs, ultrasound, laser therapy, or advanced surgical procedures that your pet needs, our skilled doctors and staff are ready to provide that quality care. In addition, we have access to animal specialists across the country.

Diagnostics

Ultrasounds, Radiology and Laboratory

Radiology

X-rays are an important and cost-effective veterinary diagnostic tool for your cat or dog. They are extremely helpful at identifying and diagnosing a number of medical conditions affecting your pet’s lungs, heart, abdomen, oral cavity, bladder, and kidneys. For example, a diagnostic radiograph of your pet can detect cancerous tumors, stage heartworm disease, detect bladder and kidney stones, and identify the presence of foreign objects that may have lodged in your pet’s body. X-rays are also very important for helping diagnose and treat injuries such as broken bones, joint injuries, illnesses and many other orthopedic conditions. With a high-speed internet line, digital radiographs and direct access to specialists who are board-certified in radiology, we can have results back in as little as an hour, rather than the typical five or six hours. When an animal is under anesthesia for any reason, time is always of the essence. This allows us to provide the proper advanced care your pet requires. Because these images are digital they are of a higher quality than standard X-rays and can be sent to your regular veterinarian via email or CD.

Ultrasound

We provide a very precise look at your pet’s internal organs, chest and abdomen without surgery or sedation, it is an incredibly important diagnostic tool for your pet’s health. For example, veterinary ultrasound is invaluable for making treatment decisions for various types of heart disease, assess the function and health of internal organs, and identify lesions, determine their origin, and if they have spread. During surgery, ultrasound is a very powerful surgical aid to guide our veterinarians while obtaining a biopsy.

Diagnostic Lab

We offer a wide range of veterinary diagnostic laboratory tests with an in-house as well as an outsource lab. Diagnostic testing can detect heartworm disease, Lyme disease, infections, feline leukemia, intestinal parasites, urinary tract infections, and many additional diseases and conditions that can go unnoticed in their early stages. Early pet blood testing can show evidence of disease such as diabetes, changes in liver or kidney function, or simply provide a baseline for future reference. We use diagnostic testing for pre-anesthetic screenings prior to dental or surgical procedures that require general anesthesia.
