Diagnostics Can Provide Answers When Needed Most
At Kroner Animal Care and The Plains Veterinary Hospital, diagnostic services are a vital part of our care.
With tests like bloodwork, X-rays, and ultrasounds, we can detect and diagnose medical problems that your pet may be experiencing. These tests can also provide valuable insight into your pet’s overall health. That’s why our in-house lab quickly gives our veterinarians context about your pet's condition to ensure we provide the best possible care.
Routine diagnostics during preventive care can lead to early detection. When conditions are diagnosed early, the proper treatment and care can be provided sooner, which often leads to better recovery times. Overall, veterinary diagnostic services are an important part of maintaining your pet’s health and well-being. Whether your pet isn’t feeling well or you’re scheduling an annual wellness visit, diagnostics can help your veterinarian gain important insight into your pet’s health as you work together to plan the best course of care.
Diagnostics Provide An Understanding Of Your Pet’s Health
Because we know that veterinary diagnostics provide crucial information for the maintenance of pet health, we prioritize a variety of services and tests. At both Kroner Animal Care and The Plains Veterinary Hospital, our diagnostics begin with a physical examination by a vet, followed by specific tests that can provide valuable information about your pet’s health.
-
Blood Tests
Blood tests can uncover information about your pet’s overall health and detect any abnormalities. We can screen for conditions like anemia, diabetes, and issues with kidney and liver function. Bloodwork is vital to diagnose sick pets, and is an important part of wellness care for pets when monitoring their health routinely.
-
X-rays
X-rays provide detailed images of the animal’s inner anatomy, allowing us to identify potential fractures, as well as congenital and hereditary disorders. Our in-house digital and dental X-ray capabilities help to diagnose these issues and allow our veterinarians to determine the best treatment plans.
-
Ultrasounds
Both Kroner Animal Care and The Plains Veterinary Hospital offer ultrasound services. Ultrasounds can help to diagnose heart defects, abdominal conditions, pregnancy, and more. It’s a quick and painless procedure that helps veterinarians get a better understanding of your pet's condition and can guide treatment decisions.
Other Diagnostics
Our in-house labs include several machines that produce quick results. This allows us to efficiently diagnose heartworm disease, thyroid problems, parvovirus, and other conditions. We can also detect health concerns such as infection, urinary tract issues, and kidney diseases.
Our diagnostics are conveniently available for quick results. By combining this data with physical exams, we can more accurately assess your pet’s health and provide better treatments. Taking advantage of our diagnostics services can help catch any underlying health problems and can give you the insight needed for the best care of your furry family members.
