Diagnostics

Could your pet be suffering from an undiagnosed illness or injury?

When people get sick or hurt, they seek medical treatment and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

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

The veterinary diagnostics at Animal Medical Center of Louisa 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 laboratory makes it quick and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results the same day. This means we can have a treatment plan in place for your best friend as soon as possible.

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab testing aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we may recommend an x-ray. Our digital x-ray machine provides high quality images. These innovative tools allow us to examine the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

Images can be evaluated by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary. We work with a variety of specialists who can provide the most advanced imaging such as MRIs and cat scans, if needed.

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Give the Animal Medical Center of Louisa a call right away. We’ll work to evaluate the problem and get your companion back on the path to good health again.
