Our hospital has state of
the art X-ray and ultrasound diagnostic equipment, permitting our
doctors to do many specialized procedures. Most of these procedures
can be done the same day the pet is admitted into the hospital.
Myelogram: involves inserting dye into the spinal canal through
a spinal tap in order to detect intervertebral disk abnormalities or spinal
tumors.
Cystogram: involves inserting dye into the bladder through a
urinary catheter to detect abnormalities in the bladder wall (such as
tumor, or changes due to chronic infection) or bladder stones that do
not show up on routine X-rays.
GI Barium Series: involves following the flow of barium through
the intestinal tract to detect foreign objects, tumors, and certain motility
disorders.
Studies for Hip Abnormalities (Hip Dysplasia): Our hospital offers
two types of radiographic analysis of hip dysplasia: the most traditional
OFA films and the Penn Hip analysis. Penn Hip is a statistical analysis
that has been shown to detect the possibility of hip disorders as early
as 4 months of age, whereas the standard OFA cannot be done until 2 years
of age. We are one of the few hospitals certified to perform the Penn
Hip method in the Houston area .
Ultrasonography: While the animal is awake, ultrasonography enables
the doctor to evaluate heart function and changes in organ density. This
is useful in the detection of cancer or its possible spread.
