Why pets diagnostic is so important and what does it tell us
Vetcare clinic offers a variety of diagnostic tests to help diagnose health issues:
Blood and Urine Tests
Check organ function, detect infections, and diagnose metabolic conditions
Imaging
X-rays, ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans visualize bones, joints, and internal organs to diagnose fractures, tumors, and other conditions.
Microbiology and Parasitology
Identify infections and parasites through cultures, sensitivity testing, and fecal exams.
Cytology and Histopathology
Diagnose infections, inflammation, cancer, and other tissue abnormalities by examining cells and tissues under a microscope.
Endocrinology
Measures hormone levels to diagnose endocrine diseases like diabetes and thyroid disorders.
Allergy Testing
Identifies allergens causing reactions in animals through techniques like PCR and allergy tests.

ENDOSCOPY – VIDEO ENDOSCOPY
Endoscopy allows a visual examination of internal organs and body parts without invasive exploratory surgery. It was first described in the early 1800’s, but it was not until the late 1800’s that optical lenses were developed which could be used in viewing devices and endoscopy could start to be used. Endoscopy is performed with either a rigid or flexible fiberoptic instrument. Flexible endoscopes such as those used in the examination of the stomach consist of a long, flexible insertion tube with a bending tip at the end that enters the body, an eyepiece, and a control section.
The tip of the endoscope is manipulated using a control knob in the hand piece. In addition to the fiber bundles which provide the light source, two channels are present within the endoscope. One channel permits various endoscopic tools to be passed and fluids to be suctioned or samples taken. The other allows air or water to be passed into the stomach/intestine to insufflate (inject air into the area), or wash away mucus from the viewing port. Special video cameras can be attached to the endoscopes which allow viewing of the exam on a television screen, as well as recording the exam on video. The rigid endoscope cannot be used in some areas, such as the stomach because it does not have the bending tip, so it cannot be flexed to allow examination of all parts of the stomach.
FLOUROSCOPY
Fluoroscopy is a non-invasive procedure which uses x-rays to help capture and monitor video images of specific parts of the body while they are in motion. Animal Imaging’s new radiology suite uses fluoroscopy for flow studies using barium contrast, myelograms, and for studies where changes over time are important –as with collapsing tracheas. Organic iodine contrasting agents are used for special vascular urine flow studies.
Fluoroscopy facilitates the placement of tracheal stents. These expanding Nitinol stents are helpful in managing select collapsing trachea cases.
