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.

We take our guinea pigs here. Dr. Lupo and his staff are just so amazing! We have rescued a lot of guinea pigs, and unfortunately with the nature of some of the cases, eventually some health issues arise. The entire staff is so caring, it is clear that they love what they do! We highly recommend Dundee Animal Hospital of Elgin! They are just as wonderful with other pets too!

I've tried a few great vets in the area over the past few decades. I choose Dundee Animal Hospital because the vets are incredibly talented and experienced. Having an emergency clinic in Dundee as part of their practice group has given me peace of mind that's been irreplaceable when we've needed it- with a team that already has our medical records and history and knows our animals. Invaluable.

I brought my soul dog in for an emergency visit on a Friday night and the day I've dreaded for 12 years finally came. Kerry the emergency tech and Dr. Gurevich were so incredibly kind and empathetic to me and my girl. They gave me time and sweet, wise words and sent a beautiful card in the mail the following week. The front desk staff was also wonderful to me. I wish the circumstances were different but I very much appreciate how the staff took care every step of the way. Everyone hug your sweet furry ones for me, and if you need a place to go I wholeheartedly recommend Dundee Animal Hospital <3
