Diagnostics

Could your pet be struggling with an undiagnosed illness or injury?

When people get sick or hurt, they go to the doctor, discuss their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they’re often unable to alert 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.

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

Laboratory

Good Friends Animal Hospital’s 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 establish a treatment plan before you and your pet even leave the exam room. We also offer more advanced testing in partnership with an off site lab.

Imaging

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

Images are evaluated by our doctors in real-time and shared electronically with specialists for confirmation.

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Contact the experienced team at Good Friends Animal 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.
