Comprehensive Diagnostic Services
At The Hills Veterinary Clinic, our advanced diagnostic tools enable us to thoroughly and accurately assess your pet’s health, playing a vital role in diagnosing and managing a variety of conditions to ensure the best possible care.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce detailed images of your pet’s internal organs. It is especially effective for examining soft tissues, diagnosing conditions such as tumors and heart disease, and monitoring pregnancies. This painless procedure provides real-time imaging, allowing us to observe organ function and development without the need for incisions or anesthesia.
Dental Extractions
Digital radiographs (X-rays) provide high-resolution images of your pet’s bones and internal organs, enabling precise detection of fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, and other abnormalities. This advanced technology offers quicker processing times and superior image quality compared to traditional X-rays, allowing for faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera to examine internal organs, especially the digestive tract. It’s valuable for diagnosing and treating conditions like blockages, ulcers, and tumors without the need for extensive surgery, allowing for quicker recovery and potential immediate treatment.
CT Scan and MRI
CT scans and MRIs are advanced imaging techniques that provide highly detailed views of your pet’s internal structures. CT scans are particularly effective for detecting tumors and internal injuries, while MRIs offer comprehensive imaging of soft tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, making them essential for diagnosing neurological conditions.
Blood Tests
Blood tests at our on-site laboratory are essential for monitoring your pet’s organ function, detecting infections, and diagnosing conditions like diabetes and kidney disease. These tests, conducted during routine exams and when health issues are suspected, provide vital insights into your pet’s overall health, enabling early detection and intervention for better outcomes.
Urinalysis
Urinalysis is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess your pet’s kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and identify metabolic disorders. This test provides crucial insights into your pet’s overall health, particularly for older pets, and helps in the early detection of kidney disease and other issues, enabling prompt treatment.
