Diagnostics

Finding out why your pet is ill

No matter how thorough our vets are, some diagnoses require more than just a physical examination alone.  That’s why we offer:

  • On-site laboratories – for blood and urine analysis providing routine health monitoring and pre-anaesthesia safety checks.  Immediate critical information allows us to respond quickly in emergency situations.
  • Specialist external laboratories in the UK and USA – for more comprehensive investigations.
    Allergy blood testing – for allergic skin disease.
  • Digital radiography.
  • Ultrasound scanners enable us to carry out detailed examinations of internal organs without the need for general anaesthesia.
  • MRI scanning enables us to image the brain, spine and internal organs non-invasively in magnificent detail.
  • Endoscopy cameras – enable us to look directly inside the intestinal tract and airway to assess changes, take biopsies and sometimes retrieve foreign objects.
  • Electrocardiograms (ECG) – enable us to assess and monitor heart rhythms by measuring electrical impulses.
  • Arthroscopy cameras – allow us to look inside joints, investigating and treating lameness.
