Diagnostics

Could an unseen illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or hurt, they seek medical attention and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, many animals are masters of hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can dramatically improve the chances of a good outcome.

Laboratory

Ermineskin 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 a few minutes. This means we can establish a treatment strategy before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and laboratory testing aren’t enough to reach a definitive diagnosis, 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. 

Electronic images can be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared with specialists if necessary.

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Give Ermineskin 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.
