Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?
When people get sick or hurt, they consult with their doctor, discuss their symptoms and receive the appropriate care including digital x-rays and ultrasound on request. With pets, it’s not always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they aren’t able to tell us when something is bothering them.
What’s more, many animals are adept at hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and address health concerns in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Laboratory
The convenient on-site diagnostic lab at Acosta Veterinary Hospital 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 plan in place before you and your best friend even leave the exam room.
Imaging
When a physical exam and laboratory testing 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 any chances. Give Acosta Veterinary Hospital a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
