Why Diagnostic Tests Are Important For Your Pet
When your dog or cat has a health problem, our veterinarians at NA Veterinary Hospital use a variety of techniques to get to the source of the issue.
Changes in body temperature, weight, appetite and energy level can signal a problem that requires further investigation. Sensitive areas of the body or the animal’s reluctance to put weight on their limbs may signal an issue that is not visible on the surface.
In these cases, a veterinarian may advise one or more of a variety of tests that can provide information about what’s going on inside your pet’s body. In some cases, you may not even suspect your pet has a problem, but a test will reveal a health issue in the early stages so that it can be treated before it becomes a more critical health problem.
Common Veterinary Diagnostic Tests
NA Veterinary Hospital in Jerez de la Frontera offers many different diagnostic tests such as:
- Advanced Ultrasound: The image quality of the Mindray M8 equipment, for advanced ultrasound of both abdominal and musculoskeletal soft tissues, allows for high levels of diagnostic precision. It also combines with CT scans for highly accurate sample collection.
- Digital Radiography: Offers high-quality X-rays instantly, crucial for diagnosing bone, joint, and respiratory problems. The advantage is lower radiation exposure and improved image processing.
These tests are important tools that can help your veterinarian keep your cat or dog healthy throughout its life.
