Diagnostics

Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people feel sick or suffer an injury, they go to the doctor, discuss the situation, and receive the appropriate care. With pets, it’s not always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t always let us know when something is bothering them. 

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

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

Laboratory

Cherry Ridge Veterinary Clinic’s on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it quick and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results in just a few minutes. This means we can have a treatment strategy in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab work aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, such as x-rays and ultrasound. These tools enable 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 out of sorts lately, don’t take any chances. Give the skilled staff at Cherry Ridge Veterinary Clinic a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
