Diagnostics

Could an unforeseen illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

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

What’s more, many animals capable of masking the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

The diagnostic services at Victoria Road Animal Hospital enable us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the odds of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Our convenient 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 often establish a treatment strategy before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab work 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. 

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

If your pet has been acting a bit under the weather, don’t take chances. Contact Victoria Road 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.
