Pet Diagnostics
Your local specialist in pet diagnostics in Covington, GA, Oak Hill Animal Hospital is well-equipped to provide accurate insights into your pet’s health while prioritizing their complete health and safety.
Has your pet been acting unusual? Are you concerned that an illness or injury may be to blame?
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 our animal companions can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. What’s more, many animals are naturally prone to hide the signs of illness for long periods of time. All the while, the condition is able to develop and worsen.
In cases such as these, we rely on veterinary diagnostics to get the answers we need. These tools and technologies allow our veterinary team to conduct an in-depth evaluation of your pet’s health, both externally and internally. By gathering a complete picture of your pet’s condition, we’re better able to diagnose and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome for your companion. Oak Hill Animal Hospital is pleased to offer a wide range of both routine and advanced diagnostic services.
In-House Laboratory
Our hospital features an on-site diagnostic laboratory, making it fast and efficient to run various tests. In many cases, we can have results within just minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your best friend even leave the exam room. The ability to run blood work, urinalysis, and other tests in-house is especially beneficial for critical cases when time is of the essence. Laboratory work is also available for routine health screenings as part of your pet’s wellness care.
Advanced Imaging
In some instances, a physical exam and lab work simply aren’t enough to effectively assess your pet’s condition. That’s why we also offer X-ray services. X-rays allow us to look inside your pet’s body and learn precisely what’s ailing him or her. We can use imaging to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identify injuries, diagnose illness, and determine severity. Images can be analyzed by our veterinarians 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. Give the dedicated veterinary team at Oak Hill Animal Hospital a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
