To give your pet the best chance in an emergency, treatments depend on precisely knowing your pet’s internal health – organ function, blood cell analysis, electrolyte analysis and more! Our comprehensive in-house lab analyzers can get us those answers within minutes. We can perform complete urinalysis, complete blood cell analysis, full serum biochemistry analysis, blood electrolyte testing, fluid protein analysis, as well as tests for thyroid disease, early-stage kidney disease, and long-term diabetes management in-house, all with results within the hour. Proper analysis of your pet’s internal health saves unnecessary treatments and leads to faster recovery.
Knowing whether your pet has an infection and what is causing the infection is very important – particularly with antibiotic resistance on the rise. We have numerous options available to determine whether your pet has a commonly seen infection. For less common illnesses, we utilize the skills of specialists at referral laboratories to get the answers you need.
With growing dewormer resistance in parasites, it is no longer good enough to simply rotate dewormers. We need to know if your pet actually needs to be dewormed, which worms are present and which dewormer works. By performing in-house fecal tests, we can quickly get you these answers – and it’s a simple as bringing in a fresh sample of poop you’ve already picked up!
Your pet has a heart of gold – let us help keep it as healthy as possible by detecting heart disease before it’s too late to help. From something as simple as investing in specialized cardiology stethoscopes to catch early heart murmurs and recommending pre-anesthetic electrocadiograms read by cardiologists, to digital radiographs, doppler ultrasound and blood-pressure monitoring – we are dedicated to always improving how we keep heart disease from shortening your pet’s life. Heart disease slows down over 70% of elderly pets – we’re glad we can help them still feel like puppies in their golden years.
Lumps and bumps are common in pets and can be very serious. We focus on finding an answer and treating it quickly before it becomes a complicated illness. With both in-house microscopic evaluation and referral to pathologists and oncologists, we can find a treatment plan that works best for you and your pet.
To help minimize the stress of travel, we are able to consult with numerous specialists via the internet. From radiographs to electrocardiograms and more, we are able to take the stress out of finding an answer by sending the tests, not your pet, to the specialists.
