FAQs

Why does having onsite diagnostics benefit my pet?
When your pet isn’t feeling well, waiting days for answers can be stressful. By offering Digital Radiology, Ultrasound, and rapid infectious disease testing right here at the clinic, we can visualize internal issues or confirm specific illnesses immediately. This allows us to stabilize your pet and start targeted care without delay.
What specific tests can you run during my appointment?

While we utilize a high-quality external laboratory for routine blood panels, we provide immediate onsite testing for urgent conditions, including:

  • Canine Parvovirus: A rapid test for a time-sensitive, serious illness.
  • Leptospirosis: Quick screening for this zoonotic (transmissible to humans) bacteria.
  • Digital X-rays & Ultrasound: Instant imaging to check for fractures, foreign objects, or organ abnormalities.
What are the advantages of Digital Radiology over traditional X-rays?
Digital radiology is the gold standard in modern veterinary care. It is faster, meaning your pet spends less time on the X-ray table, and it produces superior image quality. Because the images are digital, we can instantly share them with specialists via email if a second opinion is needed for a complex case.
When is an Ultrasound necessary vs. an X-ray?
Think of X-rays as a “still photo” of bones and large organs, while an Ultrasound is like a “live video” of the inside of the body. We use ultrasound to look inside organs like the heart, bladder, or liver in real-time. Having both onsite means we have a complete toolkit to find the root cause of your pet’s symptoms in one visit.
