Diagnostic Imaging & Radiology
When your pet shows signs of illness or discomfort, advanced diagnostics allow us to look beyond what’s visible. From unexplained limping and abdominal swelling to sudden changes in appetite, our team uses precise testing to identify the underlying cause—so we can deliver timely, targeted treatment with confidence.
The Importance of Early Diagnosis
Early identification of medical conditions gives your pet the greatest opportunity for effective treatment and recovery. With advanced imaging technologies such as X-ray and ultrasound, we can detect health concerns in their early stages—often before symptoms become severe. This timely insight allows us to diagnose internal conditions accurately and create targeted treatment plans with confidence.
In-House Digital Radiology and Pet Imaging
At Lakeside Pet Hospital, we provide on-site digital X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound services to support accurate and timely diagnosis. These advanced imaging tools are commonly used to identify:
-
Masses or tumors
-
Bladder stones
-
Gastrointestinal blockages
-
Heart and lung abnormalities
-
Dental disease
X-rays are particularly valuable in emergency situations and injury assessments, while ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate soft tissues and organ function in detail. For complex cases, we collaborate with a board-certified specialist to ensure precise ultrasound interpretation
