Diagnostics

Could an unseen illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or injured, they visit the doctor, explain their symptoms, and receive the appropriate care. With pets, it’s not always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they aren’t always able 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 treat health problems in a timely manner. Quick, accurate diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

The Barn Door Veterinary Care’s on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a broad spectrum of tests. In many cases, we can have results in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan 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 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 little under the weather lately, don’t take chances. Contact The Barn Door Veterinary Care right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
