The veterinary team at Davis Animal Hospital has the experience and expertise to diagnose and treat your pet’s health conditions. Our animal hospital employs a variety of diagnostic tools including digital x-rays, ultrasounds, electrocardiographs, and an on-site laboratory.
Veterinary Diagnostics
We strive to identify the underlying cause of your pet’s medical condition. This allows us to develop a targeted treatment plan. This method also ensures the best possible treatment outcome for your pet and results in lower costs for you. There are many additional advantages for your pet, including:
- Faster recovery time
- Less use of medication
- Fewer treatments and trips to the vet
Pet X-Rays
Digital radiographs are a non-invasive imaging process that captures digital images of your pet’s internal organs, bones, and joints. The images are used to evaluate your pet’s condition. A low level of radiation is emitted, but it is considered safe for your pet. Digital radiographs are ideal for viewing:
- Bladder and prostate
- Bones and joints
- Lungs and heart
- Stomach, intestines, and colon
- Mouth (teeth, jaw, and more)
Pet Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides a three-dimensional image of your pet’s internal organs. The moving images are displayed on a screen and can be digitally recorded. This method is often used to observe the following:
- Heart and lung function (murmurs and blood flow)
- Tumors
- Liver, bladder, spleen, and kidneys
- Pregnancy
Electrocardiography
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive technique that provides an electrical recording of your pet’s heart function. It provides valuable diagnostic information and can aid in the detection of heart health concerns such as:
- Enlarged heart
- Heart rhythm abnormalities
Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory
Our on-site veterinary diagnostics laboratory allows rapid and accurate test results for your pet. We recommend regular testing be performed during your pet’s wellness exam to identifying early indicators of disease. Most laboratory tests can be evaluated the same day. Common laboratory tests include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Urinalysis
- Heartworm test
- Fecal exam
- Feline leukemia and AIDS test
- Parvovirus test
