DIAGNOSTICS

Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or hurt, they contact the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With animals, it’s not always this straightforward. Because our pets can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

What’s more, many animals are capable of masking the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and treat health concerns in a timely manner. Quick and accurate diagnosis of illness and injury can improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Front Porch Animal Clinic’s convenient on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety 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 best friend even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

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

Digital images can be analyzed by the doctor 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 caring crew at Front Porch Animal 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.
