When a companion animal is sick or has become injured, it’s not always easy to detect the signs of a problem on the surface of the skin. What’s more, many animals have the ability to mask illness for a long period of time, showing little to no outward signs and symptoms until the problem has become much more serious. In many cases, even a thorough external exam isn’t enough to reach a definitive diagnosis.
Veterinary diagnostics are tools that allow our doctors to delve below the surface of the skin and learn what’s happening on the inside of your pet’s body to identify, diagnose and treat the problem in a timely manner. The sooner we are able to uncover what’s ailing your pet, the better our chances of helping them make a full and speedy recovery.
