DIAGNOSTICS

Could an underlying illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When humans get sick or hurt, they go to the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With our animal friends, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because pets 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 develop and worsen undetected.

The diagnostic services at Germantown Veterinary Clinic enable us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the odds of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Our convenient on-site diagnostic laboratory 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 strategy in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab testing aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These tools allow us to assess the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

Digital images can be analyzed in real-time by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists for further evaluation.

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