We emphasize precise diagnosis and treatment for your beloved pets, and our practice is fully equipped with cutting-edge technology to guarantee the highest level of care possible.

What Are Advanced Diagnostic Tests For Pets?

Advanced diagnostic tests for pets encompass a range of cutting-edge procedures, including diagnostic ultrasound, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, arthroscopy, and more. These tests allow us to peer inside your pet’s body, identifying and diagnosing health issues that may not be visible through traditional methods. Our commitment to advanced animal care means your pet receives the highest medical attention. Whether your pet is experiencing a mysterious ailment or you simply want to ensure their overall health, our advanced vet clinic is here to serve you.

How Does State of the Heart Veterinary Care Provide These Services?

State of the Heart Veterinary Care has a wide range of traveling veterinary specialists who perform advanced diagnostic services within our hospital. If one of our doctors advises an advanced diagnostic procedure, an appointment with one of these specialists would be scheduled. By providing specialty veterinary care within the clinic, we aim to minimize the costly overhead charges of receiving this care within a traditional specialty referral center.

Advanced Diagnostic Tests Available at State of the Heart Vet

Echocardiogram 

An echocardiogram uses ultrasound technology to visualize and thus examine your pet’s heart. This diagnostic modality allows for the evaluation of heart structure as well as function. It is considered the “gold standard” in terms of diagnosing heart-related disorders. 

ECG (Electrocardiogram)

Detecting and monitoring cardiac health helps us provide optimal care for your pets. Our ECG services allow us to assess the heart’s electrical activity, aiding in the diagnosis of various cardiac conditions and ensuring timely intervention when necessary.

Ultrasound Imaging

Our advanced ultrasound imaging capabilities provide detailed insights into your pet’s internal organs and structures. From identifying abnormalities to guiding minimally invasive procedures, ultrasound imaging plays a vital role in our diagnostic approach, enabling us to deliver targeted and effective treatments.

Blood Pressure Services

Monitoring blood pressure is important for evaluating cardiovascular health and detecting conditions such as hypertension in pets. Our blood pressure services utilize advanced techniques to accurately measure blood pressure levels, helping us proactively assess your pet’s overall well-being and manage underlying health issues.

Endoscopic Services

Endoscopy involves the use of a long, thin camera called an endoscope. This device can be guided through the gastrointestinal system to allow visualization of the interior of the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, esophagus, and back of the throat.  Numerous disorders of these organs can be diagnosed by use of this procedure.

Rhinoscopy

Rhinoscopy involves using a rigid endoscope to visualize the interior of the nasal canal, thus allowing diagnosis of various disorders of the nose.  Furthermore, it is often used to remove foreign bodies that are “stuck” in the nose. 

Orthopedic Surgeries

Our traveling board-certified small animal surgeon provides numerous specialty orthopedic surgeries at State of the Heart, including fracture repairs, TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy for knee ligament tears), and surgeries to correct knee cap dislocations.
