Emergency Tests & Diagnostics
During your pet’s stay, we provide the highest-quality care and attention. All hospitalized patients are kept in a specialized treatment area where they are closely monitored.
Our vet team is skilled in offering surgical, diagnostic, and medical care and work with compassion and efficiency to ensure a positive outcome.
We offer the latest diagnostics and testing for our urgent care patients at our emergency veterinary clinic, including:
- Blood Analysis. Lab testing gives us an accurate picture of your pet’s internal health if they are experiencing an unknown illness or may have ingested a toxic substance.
- Digital X-rays. Among many things, x-rays can help us determine if your pet has any internal injuries, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal issues.
- Surgery. Sometimes pets sustain injuries that require emergency surgery.
