What We Offer
Our hospital-grade diagnostics and monitoring systems include:
- In-House Labwork: CBC, chemistry panels, glucose testing, electrolyte panels, and urinalysis
- Emergency Vet Bloodwork: Rapid results to guide treatment and monitor ongoing changes
- Digital Radiology (X-rays): Fast imaging to evaluate broken bones, internal bleeding, or foreign bodies
- Pet Oxygen Cages: Controlled environments for respiratory distress or trauma recovery
- Blood Transfusions: For anemia, trauma, or toxin-induced blood loss
- Continuous Vital Monitoring: Heart rate, heart rhythm, oxygen saturation, respiration, temperature, and more
We work quickly to identify the root cause of symptoms and begin immediate intervention — all while keeping pet owners informed.
When Are Diagnostics Needed?
Even if injuries aren’t visible, internal conditions can progress rapidly. We recommend immediate diagnostics if your pet is:
- Weak, lethargic, or collapsed
- Having difficulty breathing
- Vomiting or experiencing diarrhea
- Bleeding or suspected to have internal trauma
- Acting confused, twitching, or showing signs of poisoning
- Post-surgical or post-trauma and requires monitoring
All patients in our care are closely watched and monitored throughout the night, with updates provided to pet parents and referring veterinarians.
