Medical Assessment

To ensure a proper diagnosis, we often need to examine your pet. We begin a medical assessment by checking the below areas for any abnormalities:

  • eyes
  • ears
  • skin
  • cardiovascular
  • neurological
  • gastrointestinal
  • musculoskeletal

We will perform blood and/or urine tests as necessary to check multiple systems to include:

  • kidneys
  • liver
  • pancreas
  • endocrine
  • thyroid
  • adrenal glands

Based on your pet’s condition, we may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as radiography (x-rays), endoscopy (internal scoping), ultrasound, or biopsy.

If you’re concerned that something may be wrong with your pet, please call us to schedule a medical assessment. Depending on the symptoms, we may ask you to bring in your pet right away.
