DIAGNOSTICS

Could an undetected illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people become sick or hurt, they visit the doctor, explain 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 tell us when something is bothering them. 

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

Veterinary diagnostics enable our team 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

Breton Veterinary Hospital’s on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results in just a few minutes. This means we can establish a treatment plan before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical checkup and laboratory work aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we rely on advanced imaging technology including radiology, digital thermal imaging, and x-rays. This allows 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 deemed necessary.

If your best friend has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Call Breton Veterinary Hospital right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your pet back on the path to good health again.
