Diagnostics

Could an underlying illness or injury be hindering your pet?

When people get sick or hurt, they visit the doctor, discuss their symptoms, and receive the appropriate medical care. With our furry family members, it’s not always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, animals are often good at hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

Veterinary diagnostics allow the team at Lakeview Veterinary Hospital to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Our convenient in-house diagnostic laboratory makes it quick and easy 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 work aren’t sufficient for achieving a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These non-invasive tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illnesses, and determining the level of severity. 

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

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Contact Lakeview Veterinary Hospital right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
