Veterinary Diagnostics

During a diagnostic test or imaging procedure at Auburn Bay Veterinary Clinic, your pet's comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our team of experienced veterinarians and technicians will handle your pet with utmost care. Procedures may vary from a simple blood draw to more complex imaging scans like x-rays or ultrasounds. Depending on the type of test, your pet may need to fast beforehand. We'll also take measures to minimize stress and discomfort, such as using gentle handling techniques or sedation if necessary. Rest assured, we'll provide you with all the necessary information prior to the appointment.

The turnaround time for results can vary depending on the type of test. Some tests, like blood work, can have results within the same day, while others, like biopsies, may take a few days. At Auburn Bay Veterinary Clinic, we understand the anxiety of waiting for results, so we strive to provide them as quickly as possible without compromising accuracy. Once the results are in, our veterinary team will promptly communicate the findings to you and discuss next steps for your pet's treatment or care.

The frequency of diagnostic and imaging tests depends on your pet's age, breed, overall health, and any existing medical conditions. As a general rule, regular check-ups, which may include these tests, are recommended at least once a year for preventive care and early detection of potential health issues. However, if your pet has a chronic condition or is on certain medications, more frequent monitoring may be necessary. Rest assured, our team will provide personalized recommendations based on your pet's specific needs, ensuring they receive the most appropriate and effective care.
