When it comes to diagnosing your animal's health problems a complete history and physical exam is how we start. Our hospital is equipped with a in house clinical laboratory and we can perform complete blood counts, serum chemistries, thyroid levels.
We can perform quick in house screens for important diseases such as heartworm/Lyme/anaplasmosis/Ehrlicia. Also we can test for feline leukemia and feline AIDS.
Advanced testing such as allergy sensitivities are sent out to referral laboratories. We can test for common food allergies and regional environmental allergens as well as indoor allergens.
We have full digital radiology (X-ray) services including small animal, dental and mobile for large animals. Telemedicine services are available for referral evaluation of radiographs, ultrasounds and microscopic cytology by board certified veterinary radiologists/pathologists.
Endoscopic exam is also available for small and large animals. We have an in house EKG as well as a telemedicine service for evaluation of your animal's heart by a board certified veterinary cardiologist.
We highly recommend referrals when necessary for advanced diagnostic or surgical procedures which we cannot provide. Referrals for very advanced care are usually made to the closest facilities available. Many of our patients go to Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialists.
