Additional Diagnostic and Treatment Services

Every pet deserves care tailored to their individual needs. In addition to our routine medical and surgical services, we offer a range of diagnostic and specialized treatment procedures to help investigate health concerns, manage ongoing conditions, and provide targeted care for your pet.

From diagnostic imaging to specialized treatments, our team uses these services to gather important information about your pet’s health and help guide informed decisions about their care.

Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging allows our veterinary team to look beyond the surface and gain a clearer understanding of your pet’s internal health. These tools can help us investigate symptoms, identify abnormalities, and determine appropriate next steps.

Digital X-Ray

Digital radiography, commonly known as X-ray, allows us to evaluate your pet’s bones, joints, chest, abdomen, and other internal structures. It can help identify fractures, joint changes, and other abnormalities, as well as support the investigation of a wide range of medical conditions.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed, real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. It is a valuable diagnostic tool for investigating abdominal concerns and assessing structures that may not be fully evaluated through X-rays alone.

Our veterinary team will determine which imaging approach is most appropriate based on your pet’s symptoms and medical needs.

Specialized Treatments

Some conditions benefit from targeted treatments that go beyond routine medical management. We offer specialized procedures to address specific concerns and support your pet’s comfort, healing, and overall well-being.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy uses controlled cold to treat certain small, superficial skin masses. This minimally invasive procedure may be suitable for selected lesions and can sometimes be performed without general anesthesia.

Our veterinary team will assess your pet’s skin concern and determine whether cryotherapy is an appropriate treatment option.

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support tissue healing and help manage pain and inflammation. Depending on your pet’s condition, it may be recommended as part of a broader pain management, recovery, or rehabilitation plan.

Your veterinarian can help determine whether laser therapy may benefit your pet and recommend an appropriate treatment approach.

Indolent Eye Ulcer Treatment

Indolent corneal ulcers are persistent sores on the surface of the eye that can be slow to heal without targeted treatment. These ulcers may cause discomfort, excessive tearing, squinting, or sensitivity to light.

We offer targeted treatment options to help address persistent corneal ulcers and support normal healing. Early assessment is important to identify the underlying issue and determine the most appropriate treatment for your pet.

Nasal & Tear Duct Flushing

Nasal and tear duct flushing may be recommended to investigate or address certain concerns involving nasal passages or tear drainage. Depending on the underlying condition, flushing can help assess blockages and restore drainage when appropriate.

Our team will evaluate your pet’s symptoms and determine whether this procedure is likely to be beneficial.

Diagnostic Testing & Procedures

Diagnostic testing can provide valuable insight into your pet’s health, helping our veterinary team investigate symptoms, identify potential contributing factors, and develop a more individualized care plan.

Serum Allergy Testing

Serum allergy testing involves analyzing a blood sample for evidence of sensitization to certain allergens. It may be used as part of the investigation and management of suspected environmental allergies, particularly in pets experiencing ongoing skin irritation or other allergy-related symptoms.

Your veterinarian can help determine whether allergy testing is appropriate for your pet and explain how the results may contribute to their overall allergy management plan.

Genetic Testing & Counselling

Genetic testing can provide information about inherited conditions, breed-related health risks, and certain genetic traits. Depending on your pet’s breed, medical history, and individual circumstances, testing may help inform healthcare decisions and support a more personalized approach to their well-being.

Our veterinary team can help determine whether genetic testing may be beneficial for your pet, discuss the available testing options, and explain what the results may mean for their future care.

Personalized Care, Every Step of the Way

Every diagnostic test and procedure serves a purpose: helping us better understand your pet’s health and provide care that meets their individual needs.

Our team will explain recommended procedures, discuss available options, and help you understand how each service may contribute to your pet’s diagnosis, treatment, or ongoing health management.
