Diagnostics

Could an invisible illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or hurt, they visit the doctor, describe their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t always let us know 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 veterinary diagnostic services at Fairfield Animal Hospital help us identify and treat health problems in a timelier manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances 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 plan in place before you and your loved one even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab work aren’t enough to reach a definitive diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, such as x-rays and ultrasound. These innovative tools allow us to safely and effectively 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 bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Contact Fairfield 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.
