Could an illness or injury be aggravating your pet?
When people get sick or hurt, they contact a medical professional, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, however, things are rarely this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t always alert us when something is bothering them.
What’s more, many animals are capable of hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and treat health problems in the most timely and effective manner possible. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can dramatically improve the odds of a positive outcome.
Laboratory
Fairview Drive Pet Hospital’s convenient on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it quick and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your best friend even leave the exam room.
Imaging
When a physical exam and lab tests aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These innovative tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity.
Images can be analyzed in real-time by our doctors 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 caring professionals at Fairview Drive Pet 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.
