Pet Diagnostics
Because pets can’t express themselves when they are sick or in pain, it falls to pet owners and veterinarians to find the underlying cause. Our advanced pet diagnostics services in Redondo Beach, CA, assist us in thoroughly assessing our patients’ health.
Pet Veterinary Diagnostics
We prioritize quick diagnosis at Pacific Animal Hospital so our patients can get relief and treatment as soon as possible. Our vets can rapidly ascertain the source of a pet’s illness or the extent of their injuries thanks to our extensive menu of diagnostic services.
X-Ray and Ultrasound
Veterinarians can examine the internal anatomy of your pet by seeing inside their body using real-time ultrasounds and X-ray imaging. The necessity for exploratory surgery has vanished thanks to these secure, painless, and non-invasive examinations.
Pet Endoscopy
An endoscope is a long tube with a tiny camera attached. During an endoscopy, a veterinarian can assess the internal functioning of a pet’s digestive tract, searching for anomalies or indications of illness.
Fecal testing, urinalysis, and blood panels
These examinations provide a thorough understanding of how your pet’s body operates. They can assist us in assessing the operation of each organ system and numerous other systems in your pet. These allow us to identify parasites and other infections and sickness symptoms.
Electrocardiography (EKG)
An EKG measures and records the electrical impulses inside a patient’s beating heart. This test allows our veterinarian to identify cardiac anomalies, such as arrhythmia.
Blood Pressure Screening
A blood pressure check can help us identify heart disease symptoms by determining whether or not a pet has hypertension.
Microscopic Analysis
We can rapidly assess cell scrapings under a microscope, whether from saliva, ear swabs, or skin cell aspirates.
Upcoming Appointment for Your Pet and the Findings of the Diagnostic Test
The reason for your pet’s appointment will determine the diagnostic tests our vet recommends. We’ll discuss why the tests were ordered, what we want to discover from them, and what to anticipate on the tests.
Most diagnostic tests can be performed on the same day as your pet’s appointment. For others, setting up a different appointment time could be necessary. Once we receive the results, our veterinarian will assess them and review everything with you. Based on this diagnosis, we can discuss the best action for your pet’s care.
Please contact Pacific Animal Hospital if you have any questions concerning the details of your pet’s impending Redondo Beach appointment or the findings of any diagnostic tests.
