Radiology, Lab Testing for Dogs & Cats in Ann Arbor, MI
In the event that your beloved companion requires immediate medical attention, it is equally essential to have access to dependable and state-of-the-art diagnostic resources to assist in identifying and addressing their condition. The Animal Urgent Center is committed to delivering all-encompassing and empathetic care that fills the void between standard veterinary practices and urgent medical intervention.
Within our facility, we house a dedicated testing laboratory, and cutting-edge digital X-ray, and ultrasound technology (limited to assessment of abnormal fluid accumulations in dogs and cats). These advanced tools empower us to cultivate a comprehensive comprehension of your pet's well-being, enabling us to administer the utmost level of urgent medical attention possible while maintaining the highest standards of care. We are currently in the process of enhancing our diagnostic services to encompass complete abdominal and cardiac ultrasound capabilities. We are hoping to make these additional services available to our clientele soon.
Our In-House Lab Allows for Faster & More Accurate Testing
At Animal Urgent Center, we perform all our laboratory tests in house with cutting-edge analyzing tools. We can run a wide range of blood, fecal, and urine tests, and get results back in just a few minutes. This is essential for urgent medical situations where time is of the essence, and we want to be able to treat your pet as quickly as possible!
X-Ray & Ultrasound
Our imaging equipment includes digital radiography (X-ray) and ultrasound. X-ray is ideal for viewing the bones, joints, and chest cavity. We can use it to diagnose broken bones, inflammation of the joints, foreign bodies, and abnormalities of the heart and lungs.
Ultrasound uses sound waves to help our veterinary team view real-time, moving images of the abdominal organs and blood vessels. Cysts, tumors, fluid buildup, and pregnancies can be diagnosed and monitored using this technology. Light sedation may be required for us to perform an ultrasound procedure, as your pet needs to stay very still.
We will let you know if your pet needs to be sedated for any procedures and answer all your questions before proceeding.
