Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?
When people get sick or hurt, they visit the doctor, describe their symptoms, and are provided with the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t always let us know when something is bothering them.
What’s more, many animals are very good at hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and address health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Laboratory
Alpine View Veterinary Hospital’s on-site diagnostic laboratory makes 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 strategy in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room.
Imaging
When a physical exam and lab work aren’t enough to achieve a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These non-invasive tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity.
Digital images can be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.
If your pet has been acting a bit out of the ordinary lately, don’t take chances. Reach out to Alpine View 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.
