Our hospital has the unique ability to be able to perform many diagnostic tests that normally would require a separate visit to a "Specialty" Facility. With a board certified internal medicine specialist on staff; we have the expertise and equipment needed to diagnose most medical disorders.
Endoscopy: an endoscope is essentially a long fiber optic tube that can be inserted through a body orifice to visualize, culture or biopsy an organ system. We can also retrieve foreign objects from the intestinal tract and nasal passages that in the past required exploratory surgery. Endoscopy is commonly used to evaluate disorders of the intestinal tract, nasal passages, throat and lungs.
Laparoscopy: through 2 small incisions into the abdomen of an
animal air is pumped into the cavity to expand the area and another fiber
optic scope is inserted to visualize the organs. Biopsies can be obtained
without subjecting the animal to complete exploratory surgery.
Ultrasound: through sound waves, virtually any organ of the body can be visualized. Ultrasound is particularly effective in evaluating the function of the heart. The procedure is non-invasive and can usually be done without any sensation in most cases.
Skin Testing: Skin testing still remains the procedure of choice to detect inhalant or air borne allergens. It has more reliable results than other methods that utilize blood testing. A series of over 45 allergens is injected into the animal intradermally and the reaction is measured. Our doctors have done extensive training in the area of diagnosing and treating allergic diseases in dogs.
Cancer Therapy: Many types of animal cancer are effectively treated with chemotherapy and with much fewer side effects than seen in human patients.
