Diagnostics

Cat & Dog Imaging

A physical exam may tell us that your pet is sick, but may not be able to tell us exactly what is ailing them. We also cannot obtain a comprehensive health profile without going more in depth. With our cutting-edge cat and dog imaging, diagnostics and veterinary experts, we can examine your pet internally using minimally-invasive technology*. Furthermore, this technology gives us faster, more accurate results that we can interpret to find the best diagnosis and therefore the best treatment.

For healthy pets, our diagnostics help us set a baseline for their overall health, which we can use as a benchmark for future health evaluations. These tools give us the opportunity to conduct a much more thorough exam and catch problems that might otherwise go undetected.

Our Diagnostic Tools

To fully assess your pet's health status and find potential problems, we can utilize:

What Can We Detect?

A wide range of health issues, from minor to major, can be detected with our diagnostics capabilities. We can measure blood cell count and electrolytes using our lab equipment, and identify problems such as heartworm disease and tapeworm. With cat & dog X-ray, we can find bone fractures, intestinal blockages, tumors, heart and lung problems, and indications of hip dysplasia and arthritis.

Ultrasound is most effective for studying the shape, size and texture of the internal organs in the abdominal cavity. Furthermore, it can help us detect pregnancies, cysts, tumors, bladder stones, and fluid in the abdomen. Your veterinarian may recommend an electrocardiogram if your pet has an abnormal heartbeat.

Accuracy, timeliness and quality treatment are our highest priorities when conducting diagnostic exams. Only after examining your pet will your veterinarian be able to decide whether diagnostics will be necessary.

Real Stories from Real Owners

We’ve been with Dundee Animal Hospital for about 25 years. We’ve been to all three locations and all staff are great with our pets, are efficient, thorough and trust-worthy. I can not recommend Dundee Animal Hospital enough!
Dr Lupo is the best!
Very caring and great listener. Provides thorough and appropriate testing when needed. When my Rocky was rushed in when choking on foreign object Dr. Lupo provided immediate life saving care. I will forever be grateful to this amazing vet and entire clinic. Highly recommended
Dundee Animal Hospital has taken great care of my babies since 1995!
Took my cat Luna here because she was pregnant and I felt something was off. She wasn't giving birth. I had called and also this place was recommended by other vets who were booked. Anyway, they did tell me to bring her in and even called back to make sure we were on our way. We were but we're in south elgin so it took us some time to get there. Luna wasn't progressing and after an ultrasound we were told the kitten was big and heartbeat wasn't as strong as they would like. They told us they saw 2 options, inducing Luna or going straight for c section.
We chose c section because we didn't want Luna to lose the kitten, that would have been devastating for her and us.
Well, the whole team ensured that Luna and kitten were ok.
There was a problem with financing c section but this place worked with us and payment was eventually secured.
This place truly cares about animals, it shows. They were so kind and non judgemental.
I am beyond grateful that they saved Luna's life and the kitten. My daughter would have been devastated if anything happened to Luna or the kitten.
