Pet Diagnostics
When people get sick or hurt, they go to the vet, discuss their symptoms, and receive the appropriate care. But since our animal friends can’t speak, our team at The Corner Vet – Houston Heights checks what’s bothering them using advanced pet diagnostics at our Houston, TX clinic.
Could an Unseen Illness or Injury Be Plaguing Your Pet?
While it’d be great if pets could just tell us what’s wrong when they’re not feeling great, the reality is we can only spot if something’s wrong with them by noting their physical symptoms. But frustratingly, many animals are able to hide the signs of illness, making it harder for us to spot and allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
Veterinary diagnostics allow us to identify and treat health concerns in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
On-Site Diagnostics Laboratory
The on-site diagnostic laboratory at The Corner Vet – Houston Heights in Houston, TX, makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results in just minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your best friend even leave the exam room.
Pet Diagnostic Imaging
In cases where a physical exam and lab work aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to imaging technology, including X-rays and ultrasound. These advanced tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity.
Images can be analyzed by our vets 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 us a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your furry family member back on the path to good health again.
