In-house Diagnostics
Our in-house diagnostic testing is accurate and efficient.
A hands-on physical exam is a great place to start when it comes to assessing your pet’s health. While our vets can tell a lot about your companion’s current condition by examining them, though, they often rely on advanced diagnostic testing for additional information. From routine lab work to monitor their on-going health to advanced diagnostic imaging to view their internal structures, Atascocita Animal Hospital performs a wide range of in-house diagnostics in Atascocita to gain a clear picture of your precious pet’s overall health.
Our In-House Diagnostic Services
Thanks to our in-house diagnostic services, we are able to perform a number of tests and obtain results quickly and accurately.
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal analysis while our radiography and ultrasound equipment provides us with the means to peer inside your pet’s body to view their internal structures, including their organs, bones, and more.
By providing in-house diagnostic testing, we can save time and begin the correct course of treatment right away. Offering these services in-house is also more convenient for pet parents and less stressful for the precious fur babies in their care.
Ultrasound
Ultrasounds are non-invasive, pain-free, and entirely safe for your furry friend.
Advanced Diagnostic Imaging Using Ultrasound Technology
Our veterinarians can tell a lot about your pet’s overall health by performing a physical exam. In many instances, though, they need to look a bit deeper. They commonly rely on our ultrasound equipment to obtain clear pictures of the patient’s internal structures in these cases. Ultrasound machines use soundwaves rather than the radiation used by x-ray equipment, and they are capable of producing detailed images in seconds. If your dog or cat needs an ultrasound in Humble, we can help!
How It Works
We use ultrasound technology to examine a pet’s liver, lymph nodes, spleen, pancreas, heart, intestinal tract, reproductive organs, or eyes. This technology also allows us to examine masses, cysts, abscesses, and nodules.
During an exam, the device emits sound waves. These waves bounce back to the machine when they come in contact with organs and other structures. The reflected waves are then translated into detailed images of the patient’s internal structures. Because this technology relies on sound waves rather than radiation, it is completely safe. Ultrasound exams take just a few minutes, and in most cases, there is no need for sedation or anesthesia.
