Diagnostics

Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

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

What’s more, many animals are really good at hiding the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.

The veterinary diagnostic services at Calistoga Pet Clinic enable us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can dramatically improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Our convenient in-house diagnostic lab makes it fast and efficient to run a broad spectrum of tests. In many cases, we can have results in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment strategy in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and laboratory tests aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These tools allow us to 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 Calistoga Pet 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.
