What Our Diagnostic Tools Can Tell Us About Your Pet
With cat and dog X-ray imaging and laboratory testing, our Auburndale, FL, animal hospital is equipped to perform much more thorough checkups and screen for underlying illnesses.
We recommend routine lab testing for healthy dogs and cats, and as pets get older, we may also recommend routine X-rays to assess their condition. Our goal is to build a comprehensive health history for your pet and deliver better treatment.
Our animal hospital uses digital X-ray technology for examining your pet’s bones, joints, heart, and lungs. The state-of-the-art machinery we use provides our team with sharp, detailed X-ray images that can show us subtle changes and alert us to issues we did not discern during your pet’s physical exam.
Conditions we can detect/diagnose with digital X-ray include:
- Bone fractures
- Joint deformity
- Joint inflammation/arthritis
- Bone spurs
- Tumors
- Foreign bodies
- Diseases of the heart and lungs
We send many of our lab test samples to external laboratories for a detailed evaluation, but we have the capabilities to perform many tests in-house, too. If we need faster results for a sick or injured patient, we will run tests in-house instead.
For routine testing, we recommend the following workups:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Blood chemistry panel
- Heartworm snap test
- Fecal exam (screen for intestinal worms)
- Tick-borne disease screening
- Urinalysis
Routine Testing Helps Dogs and Cats Stay Healthy
A physical exam is limited in what it can show us about your pet’s condition. Laboratory testing is more in-depth and may reveal critical information that can improve your companion’s life. Furthermore, problems we can detect early are more easily treatable.
If you have any questions or need to schedule routine testing for your pet, call our animal hospital in Auburndale, FL, today at (863) 967-5854.
