Diagnostics

Could an illness or injury be plaguing your pet?

When people get sick or injured, they visit the doctor, explain their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t always let us know when something is bothering them. 

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

Veterinary diagnostics help us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Quicker diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Winchester Veterinary Clinic’s on-site blood work capabilities makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results within minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your pet even leave the exam room. 

Imaging

When a physical exam and lab work aren’t sufficient to reach a definitive diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, such as x-rays and ultrasound. These tools allow us to examine the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

Images can be evaluated in real-time by our doctors or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.

If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Give the caring crew at Winchester Veterinary Clinic a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your best friend back on the path to good health again.
