In-house diagnostics refer to medical tests and examinations conducted within the veterinary clinic or hospital, providing rapid and accurate results for evaluating a pet’s health. These tests cover a wide spectrum of assessments, ranging from blood work and urinalysis to imaging techniques like X-rays and ultrasounds.

X-Rays for Pets

If a person falls and the doctor suspects a broken bone they call for an X-ray. The same is true for our furry friends.

X-rays can be used to take a closer look at the internal systems, like the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and intestine as well as the bone structures of our pets.

What are the benefits of X-rays for pet injuries?

If you have ever broken a bone, you will know that X-rays provide clear and accurate images for a precise diagnosis. X-ray technology is an important diagnostic tool for dogs and cats that have been injured or are suffering from various symptoms. It is a quick process that may require mild sedation but helps our veterinary doctor identify the problem.

If your pet needs a surgical procedure, the X-rays help to make the procedure faster, with less time needed under anesthetic for pet health and a faster recovery time.

X-rays are a great tool for ruling out issues when blood tests or urine tests aren’t effective, such as identifying the spread of infection. We want your pet to get the right treatment that is best for their recovery, and X-rays are one of the commonly used diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine.

X-Rays are a painless way to identify common health issues for pets like:

• Arthritis
• Bone fractures
• Lung disease
• Muscle problems
• Hip dysplasia
• Skeletal issues
• Infections
• Tumors
• Kidney Stones
• Heart conditions
• Bladder Stones
• Abdominal obstructions
• Swallowed toys or other items
• Cancer
• Certain dental issues

Reduced Stress, Quicker Relief

For your pet, in-house diagnostics mean reduced stress from waiting for results, a shorter duration of discomfort, and quicker relief from any health issues.

The convenience and speed of these in-house tests contribute to a smoother healthcare experience for your furry companion.
