Diagnostics - Laboratory, X-Ray, Ultrasound, Endoscopy, EKG
We depend on our diagnostic facilities to literally look "inside" your pet for answers that are not evident externally. The testing that is considered in a medical evaluation depends on the nature of the condition of our patient, your pet, as some situations are much more urgent than others. It is important to remember that pets cannot express to us what they feel, and what they show to us may not accurately reflect the true situation internally. Therefore, reliable diagnostic tests are invaluable in determining the precise treatments that your pet requires.
