Our Diagnostic Services
We are pleased to offer advanced diagnostics that allow our veterinarians to provide an accurate diagnosis of your pet's medical issues. Here are the diagnostic tools we use in our in-house veterinary diagnostic lab:
- Radiography (Digital X-Rays)
Using a radiograph (digital x-ray), we can examine your pet's internal systems to reveal information that may be invisible from the outside.
Radiography is safe, painless and non-invasive. It uses only very low doses of radiation. Because the level of radiation exposure required to perform radiography is very low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo this procedure.
Radiographs can be used to evaluate bones and organs, and diagnose conditions including broken bones, chronic arthritis, bladder stones, spinal cord diseases and some tumors.
- Cold Lasers
With cold lasers, we use low-intensity lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to diagnose certain medical conditions in pets. This type of therapy is pain-free and drug-free.
A variety of conditions including muscle spasms, arthritis symptoms, and muscle and joint pain have been shown to improve when laser therapy is used.
