Getting to the Root of the Problem: Diagnostic and Imaging Services at Auburn Bay

Understanding the underlying health problems of your beloved pet can sometimes be a complex process. Just like in human medicine, veterinary medicine often requires the use of advanced diagnostic and imaging services to get to the root of the issue. This blog post will outline the diagnostic and imaging services available at Auburn Bay Veterinary Clinic and how they can help ensure your pet remains in optimal health.

The Importance of Diagnostic and Imaging Services in Pet Health

In veterinary care, the saying “prevention is better than cure” holds a lot of weight. Identifying potential issues early on may allow for more effective treatment and a better prognosis. Diagnostic and imaging services play a crucial role in early detection, providing invaluable insights into your pet’s health that may not always be possible to identify through a routine physical examination.

On the other hand, if your pet is already showing signs of illness, these services can help pinpoint the exact cause, making it easier to prescribe the right prescription and treatment.

Diagnostic Services: Understanding the Basics

Auburn Bay Veterinary Clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, allowing us to identify a wide range of health conditions accurately and quickly. We offer comprehensive blood tests, urine tests, fecal tests, and cytology tests. These tests provide invaluable insights into your pet's overall health and organ function, helping us identify potential problems such as infections, inflammation, anemia, dehydration, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and more.

Advanced Imaging: A Deeper Look Inside Your Pet's Body

Imaging services allow our veterinarians to examine your pet's internal structures in detail. We offer digital radiography (X-rays), ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT). These imaging modalities can identify internal injuries or abnormalities, such as fractures, tumors, heart disease, gastrointestinal blockages, etc.

Radiographs are often used to examine bones, while ultrasound is great for soft tissue structures like the heart, liver, and kidneys. CT scans can provide even more detailed, 3D images of your pet’s entire body.
