When humans feel sick or get hurt, they go to the doctor, explain the situation and receive the appropriate care. With pets, things aren’t always this straightforward. Because animals can’t speak, they can’t notify us when something is bothering them.
What’s more, many animals are able to mask the signs of illness, allowing it to develop and worsen undetected.
The veterinary diagnostic services at Omaha Animal Medical Group allow us to identify and treat health problems in a timely manner. Faster diagnosis of illness and injury can vastly improve the chances of a positive outcome.
Our convenient on-site diagnostic laboratory makes it fast and efficient to run a wide variety of tests. In many cases, we can have results in mere minutes. This means we can have a treatment plan in place before you and your best friend even leave the exam room.
When a checkup and lab work aren’t enough to reach a diagnosis, we rely on advanced imaging technology to get the answers we need. Tools like x-rays and ultrasound let us examine the bones and internal organs, identifying injuries, diagnosing illness and determining its severity.
Images can be evaluated by our team in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.
If your pet has been acting a bit out of sorts lately, don’t take chances. Give us a call right away. We’ll get to the bottom of the problem and get your loved one back on the path to good health again.
