Diagnostics

Could an underlying illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people become sick or suffer an injury, they visit the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, it’s not always this straightforward. Because our animal companions can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, many animals are able to hide the signs of illness, allowing it to go undetected as it develops and worsens.

Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and address health problems in a timely manner. Quicker diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

The on-site diagnostic laboratory at Faithful Friends Animal Clinic makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have the answers we need in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab tests aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we rely on advanced imaging technology, such as x-rays. These tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

Digital images can be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.

If your pet has been acting a bit under the weather lately, don’t take chances. Contact the caring crew at Faithful Friends Animal Clinic. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your four-legged family member back on the path to good health again.
