Comprehensive Internal Medicine Review

For complex cases, we offer a Comprehensive Internal Medicine Review. This service includes an abdominal ultrasound and a full case review by a board-certified internist, considering the patient’s entire medical history. This is especially useful for protracted or challenging cases where the primary veterinarian would benefit from additional guidance from an internal medicine specialist.

Laboratory Services

At your veterinarian’s request, we collect and submit a variety of laboratory samples to assist with diagnosis and treatment. These may include collecting cells from concerning organs using ultrasound-guided cytology, which can potentially offer a definitive diagnosis. We use the Vetscan Imagyst to submit tissue samples, allowing us to obtain vital results within hours instead of days.

Pricing of laboratory services is available upon request as there are so many available we can’t include them all on our website!
