Diagnostics

Could your pet be battling an unseen illness or injury?

When people get sick or hurt, they go to the doctor, describe their symptoms and receive the appropriate care. With pets, it’s not always as straightforward. Because animals can’t talk, they can’t tell us when something is bothering them. 

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

Veterinary diagnostics enable us to identify and treat health concerns in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can greatly improve the chances of a positive outcome.

Laboratory

Aloha Animal Hospital’s on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many instances, we can have results in just 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 testing aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we turn to advanced imaging technology, including x-rays and ultrasound. These tools allow us to evaluate the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity. 

Diagnostic images can be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.

If your animal friend has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Give the experienced professionals at Aloha Animal Hospital a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your pet back on the path to good health again.
