Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?
When humans get sick or injured, they visit the doctor, describe their symptoms, and receive the appropriate care. With our animal family members, it’s not always this straightforward. Because pets can’t speak, they can’t always alert us when something is bothering them.
What’s more, animals are often good at masking the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
Veterinary diagnostics enable the team at Animal Hospital of Crested Butte to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Laboratory
Our in-house laboratory makes it quick and easy to perform a wide variety of diagnostic tests. In many cases, we can have results in mere minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your best friend even leave the exam room.
Imaging
When a physical exam and lab work aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, such as ultrasound and x-ray. These tools enable us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity.
Digital images can be analyzed by our doctors 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. Contact the experienced team at Animal Hospital of Crested Butte right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
