Diagnostics

Could an undiagnosed illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or hurt, they visit the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, it isn’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t let us know when something is bothering them.

What’s more, many animals are able to hide the signs of illness, allowing it to worsen as it develops undetected.

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

Laboratory

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

Imaging

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

Images can be evaluated 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. Call Hambright Animal 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.
