Wellness Care

---

After performing the physical examination by the veterinarian, and before reaching a final diagnosis and treatment plan, he or she needs to run certain tests to determine what is the potential cause of the illness your pet is showing. 

Such tests can also reveal the start of a medical condition long before it shows clinical symptoms, thus they are important screening tools for animal wellness examinations.

veterinary CBC (complete blood count) analyzer: gives reading of white blood cells with differential count (the count of individual types that form the WBC), red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, platelet count, reticulocyte (immature red blood cells) count.

veterinary blood chemistry analyzer: measures blood level of several electrolytes such as  potassium and calcium, liver enzymes, blood proteins, glucose level, kidney function indicators and thyroid hormone levels.

Urinalysis: provides a chemical analysis of the urine measuring the content of protein, white blood cells, red blood cells and glucose. It also provides information if there are crystals in the urine and what is their exact type and mineral composition. 

Fecal analysis: provides a gross and microscopic analysis of the feces, detects the presence of parasite eggs and any other microorganisms.

rapid antigen tests for number of viruses and diseases (canine parvovirus, canine distemper virus, tick-borne diseases, heartworm, feline panleukopenia, feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus, feline toxoplasmosis)

We work with a number of local and international external laboratories for performing other diagnostics such as hormonal analysis, antibody titers, cytology, histopathology, culture and sensitivity.

 In-house diagnostic imaging includes 

computed radiography (CR): through which thoracic and abdominal x-rays can be done to assess organs in those cavities as well as performing skeletal x-rays to assess bones and joints health. 

Contrast gastrointestinal radiographic studies are also done to detect specific conditions such as gastrointestinal obstruction. 

Ultrasound: through it pregnancy can be confirmed and monitored. Other internal organs are also assessed through the use of ultrasound. Certain procedures such as acquiring samples are done under ultrasound guidance.

Doppler blood pressure measurement - for accurate diagnosis and measurement of mean systolic pressure, an important test to diagnose canine or feline hypertension (high blood pressure)

Veterinary tonometry: accurate electronic device that measures the intraocular pressure of dogs and cats without the need of anesthesia. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is the golden standard of canine/feline glaucoma diagnosis

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Diagnostic test performed to detect electrical abnormalities in cardiac conduction. It is an important diagnostic test for certain cardiac arrhythmias and electrical disturbances in the heart. 

Veterinary glucometer: measure the value of blood glucose and helps track the glucose curve 

in patients with confirmed diabetes. Our devices are specific for dogs and cats only.
