If you ever wonder about your pet’s health and whether they’re hiding any underlying issues, we might be able to help you find answers. Daleville Animal Hospital offers exceptional pet diagnostics in the form of a full in-house laboratory, digital X-ray equipment, ultrasounds, and echocardiograms. We take pride in not just being able to care for your pet, but also in having the ability to uncover some mysteries about their health. Diagnostics also play an important role in helping pet owners understand their companions, so they can make better healthcare decisions on their behalf.

X-Rays, Ultrasounds, and Echocardiograms
Other advanced tools we use include digital radiography, ultrasound, and echocardiography. Digital radiography (X-ray) allows us to evaluate concerns such as broken bones, arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, and conditions affecting the heart and lungs.
Ultrasound gives us a closer look at what’s happening internally, helping us assess organs, check for fluid in the abdomen, and monitor cysts or tumors. When a more in-depth evaluation is needed, we can share imaging with a board-certified radiologist for additional insight.
We also offer echocardiograms (i.e., heart ultrasounds) to assess heart structure and function. These studies are performed in-house, and the images are reviewed by a cardiology team at IDEXX. Their specialists provide detailed interpretation and recommendations, allowing us to guide your pet’s care with input from a board-certified cardiologist.
X-ray, ultrasound, and our in-house lab all play a part in the early detection of disease and keeping your cherished pet healthy. If they’re due for a checkup, give us a call today at (334) 598-1117.
