Comprehensive Testing for Accurate Diagnosis
At Animal Mansion Veterinary Hospital, we understand how important it is to diagnose health issues early for effective treatment. Our diagnostic services, including X-ray, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory testing, provide the tools needed to accurately assess your dog’s condition. These advanced diagnostic tools help us detect underlying health issues and provide tailored treatments for your pet.
X-Ray
X-rays are an essential diagnostic tool that helps us view the internal structure of your dog’s body, particularly bones and joints. X-rays allow us to identify fractures, joint issues, tumors, or any abnormalities that may not be visible on the surface. This non-invasive imaging technique helps us develop the best treatment plan for conditions affecting your dog’s skeletal system.
Uses of x-rays in veterinary care:
- Diagnosing fractures, dislocations, or bone deformities
- Assessing joint health, such as arthritis or hip dysplasia
- Detecting tumors or abnormal growths
- Evaluating chest and abdominal issues, such as heart disease or organ enlargement
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is another powerful tool that allows us to look inside your dog’s body without surgery. Using sound waves to create detailed images, ultrasound helps us examine soft tissues like the liver, kidneys, heart, and abdominal organs. This pain-free and non-invasive procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions that affect internal organs, such as tumors, fluid buildup, or organ enlargement.
How ultrasound benefits dogs:
- Identifying internal tumors or masses
- Evaluating the health of organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and heart
- Detecting fluid buildup or abnormal changes in organs
- Monitoring pregnancies and fetal health
In-House Laboratory
We have an in-house laboratory that allows us to perform a wide range of tests right on-site, providing fast and reliable results. This enables us to diagnose conditions such as infections, allergies, blood disorders, and organ dysfunction quickly, so we can begin treatment without delay.
Benefits of our in-house laboratory:
- Rapid turnaround time for blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal exams
- Immediate access to results for faster diagnosis and treatment
- Ability to monitor your dog’s health in real-time
- More accurate results for tailored treatment plans
Having an in-house laboratory helps us provide timely care, ensuring that we can address any health concerns as soon as possible.
