Diagnostics

Could an illness or injury be hindering your pet?

When people get sick or injured, they go to the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the necessary care. With our animal friends, it’s not always this straightforward. Because pets can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, many animals are masters at masking 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. Quicker diagnosis of illness and injury can dramatically improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Gause Boulevard 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 plan in place before you and your pet 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 tools enable us to examine 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 sorts lately, don’t take chances. Contact Gause Boulevard 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.
