Diagnostics

Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or injured, they contact the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, however, it’s not always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they aren’t able to tell us when something is bothering them. 

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

Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Quicker diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

HEAL Veterinary Hospital’s on-site diagnostic laboratory and specialized outsourcing testing laboratory make it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have the answers we need in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

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

Images can be evaluated 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 take chances. Contact the experienced team at HEAL 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.
