Veterinary Diagnostics in Clifton Park, NY

What do you think a general physical examination of your pet will reveal about their overall health? Will it provide us with sufficient information to diagnose an illness or injury? For a complete assessment of your pet’s health status, we need to utilize our diagnostics equipment, which can help us detect a wide variety of underlying issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. Just as we need routine blood work to check thyroid, blood sugar levels, and more, our pets can also greatly benefit from this service.

Our doctors and technicians here in Clifton Park are highly trained and qualified to perform various laboratory tests and imaging procedures to ensure a full evaluation of your pet's health status. With accurate and timely diagnoses, we can efficiently treat a large number of issues.

Digital X-ray and Ultrasound

Digital X-ray allows us to produce higher-quality images of your pet’s bones and internal organs, and results in shorter radiation exposure times and higher efficiency. We can look for bone fractures, tumors, foreign bodies, and other issues with this technology.

Ultrasound uses sound wave echoes to produce a clear, real-time image of the abdominal cavity and soft-tissue organs. Like X-ray, this imaging tool is noninvasive and painless. Ultrasound helps us diagnose pregnancies and detect cysts, tumors, and abdominal fluid. We can also study the shape, size, and texture of the internal organs.
