A dog with a dark coat is energetically digging into the ground in a green field, dirt flying from its paws. The scene, reminiscent of a vet's recommendation for daily exercise, is bathed in warm sunlight, with a distant landscape and power lines visible in the background.

Diagnostic Services

Digital X-Rays (Radiology)

Digital X-rays, or radiology, are essential for revealing internal structures, detecting fractures, and assessing the overall health of your pet. This non-invasive imaging technique produces high-quality images, enabling our veterinarians to diagnose bone fractures, joint problems, and internal organ abnormalities.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is used to evaluate the heart’s electrical activity. This non-invasive procedure is vital for detecting irregular heartbeats, spotting heart diseases, and evaluating overall cardiac function. Keeping an eye on your pet’s heart health with ECG is particularly crucial for breeds prone to heart issues. It enables early detection and the adoption of suitable strategies to uphold a healthy cardiovascular system.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a vital, non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing soft tissues, detecting organ abnormalities, and monitoring pregnancies in pets. Its real-time imaging aids accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, making it invaluable in veterinary care. At Town & Country Animal Hospital, our experienced team relies on ultrasound to enhance our understanding of your pet’s health, ensuring top-notch care.

In-House Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory enables swift analysis of diverse samples. By offering key diagnostic services such as blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening, we can assess organ function, detect infections, and identify parasites promptly. These tests aid in understanding your pet’s unique health needs, allowing us to provide timely interventions and ensure their well-being.
