Diagnostics
Expert Diagnostic Care
We provide advanced diagnostic services to quickly and accurately assess your pet’s health. Using radiography (X-rays), clinical pathology, and ultrasonography, we can detect conditions affecting bones, organs, and tissues.
These tools give us a complete picture of your pet’s health and guide us in creating tailored treatment plans.
Diagnostic Services
Radiography (X-rays)
Radiography (X-rays) is one of the most valuable tools in veterinary diagnostics, allowing us to see what’s happening inside your pet beyond a physical examination. It helps detect issues with bones, joints, the chest, or abdomen, and provides clear insight into conditions that may not be visible otherwise. For the most accurate results, pets are often gently sedated or placed under anaesthesia to keep them completely still during imaging.
Once the radiographs are taken, our veterinary team reviews the images in detail, explains the findings to you, and advises on the most effective treatment plan.
Clinical Pathology
Clinical pathology is the backbone of modern veterinary diagnostics, revealing what’s happening inside your pet through analysis of blood, urine, bodily fluids, and tissue samples. Our laboratory performs tests such as haematology, biochemistry, cytology, and urinalysis to identify imbalances, disease, infections, and organ health. Because these tests detect subtle changes before symptoms appear, they guide early diagnosis, help monitor disease progression, and inform the best treatment plan.
All results are reviewed by our veterinary team, who will explain what they mean for your pet and recommend next steps tailored to their needs.
Ultrasonography
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to safely visualise the soft tissues and internal organs of your pet in real time. It’s a non-invasive diagnostic tool ideal for assessing the abdomen, chest, reproductive organs, and areas that don’t show well on X-rays. During the procedure, a small area of fur is gently clipped and gel is applied so the ultrasound probe can move smoothly. In many cases, sedation is minimal or not required, but in some instances, mild sedation ensures clearer images by keeping your pet calm and still.
Once the scan is complete, the images are interpreted immediately and discussed with you—giving insight into the next steps or treatments needed.
