Diagnostics

Could an undiagnosed illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When humans become sick or get hurt, they go to the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because our animal companions can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, pets are often able to hide the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

Veterinary diagnostics help us identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Quicker diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Waterdown Animal Hospital’s on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results in mere minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your furry friend even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab work aren’t enough to get the answers we need, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

Diagnostic images can be analyzed by our team in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Contact Waterdown Animal Hospital right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your four-legged friend back on the path to good health again.
