When people get sick or hurt, they contact their doctor, explain their symptoms, and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they aren’t able to tell us when something is bothering them.
What’s more, many animals can hide the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
Veterinary diagnostics enable our team to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
The WellPet Group’s 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 have a treatment plan in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room.
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 allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. Digital images can be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.
Our on-site CT scanner provides high-definition, 3D volumetric imaging designed to optimize diagnostic capability and efficiency and enables us to capture and view detailed/high-definition images in-house. This service includes onboard fluoroscopy, contrast CT studies, and digital radiography. If needed, CT scans can be sent electronically to an outside radiologist for final diagnosis.
Our endoscopy unit allows us to perform more in-depth testing on patients without the need to refer out to specialty practices. We use our endoscopy unit to retrieve intestinal biopsies, perform endoscopies and colonoscopies, and retrieve ingested foreign bodies – all without the need for exploratory surgery. The light and camera provide excellent visualization of the intestinal tract, which can help us in confirming diagnoses.
If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Contact The WellPet Group right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
