Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a safe and effective method for examining your pet’s internal organs. It is beneficial for assessing the heart, liver, kidneys, and abdomen. Our skilled veterinarians use ultrasound to diagnose conditions such as heart disease, liver problems, and tumours.

Key Benefits of Ultrasound:

  • Detailed images of soft tissues
  • Non-invasive and painless

Urinalysis

Urinalysis is essential for evaluating your pet’s kidney function and detecting urinary tract infections. This test provides valuable information about your pet’s overall health and helps diagnose diabetes, kidney disease, and bladder stones.

Importance of Urinalysis:

  • Monitors kidney function
  • Provides insights into metabolic health

  • Helps manage chronic conditions
  • Prevents complications from untreated hypertension
