Urgent Sick & Injured Visits
Full-Body Digital & Dental Radiography
Pinery Veterinary Center uses full-body digital radiography to diagnose and monitor a wide range of internal conditions, including:
- Orthopedic issues: Diagnosing fractures, arthritis, hip dysplasia, and joint dislocations.
- Foreign bodies: Locating ingested objects in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Cardiopulmonary health: Checking for an enlarged heart, fluid accumulation, or tumors in the chest and lungs.
- Urinary problems: Identifying bladder or kidney stones.
- Dental health: Examining the internal anatomy of teeth and the jawbones.
- Cancer screening: Detecting tumors in bones and organs.
In-House Laboratory - Blood, Urine, and Fecal
Pinery Veterinary Center features a state-of-the-art facility and equipment that includes an in-house veterinary lab to perform crucial diagnostic tests, offering rapid results that can guide immediate treatment. Key categories of our in-house lab equipment include blood and urine analyzers, centrifuges, microscopes, and sterilization tools.
In-House Ultrasound Imaging
Pinery Veterinary Center offers in-house ultrasound services, which provides immediate, non-invasive diagnostic imaging for pets. This allows our veterinarians to quickly and accurately assess a pet's internal health, and in some cases avoids the need for an external referral. For pet owners, this can mean a faster diagnosis and a more convenient experience.
Benefits for pets and pet owners
- Immediate results: In-house ultrasound provides real-time images, so your veterinarian can discuss findings with you immediately, rather than waiting for results from an outside facility.
- Enhanced patient care: This service allows for closer monitoring of your pets condition and a more tailored and timely treatment plan.
- Reduced stress: Keeping diagnostics in-house is often less stressful for pets, who might experience anxiety when traveling or being in a new environment.
Endoscopic Procedures
What It Is
- An endoscope uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end.
- It allows veterinarians to visually examine internal organs like the esophagus and stomach without making large surgical incisions.
How It Works
- The endoscope is inserted into a natural opening in the pet's body, such as the mouth or anus.
- The camera transmits high-quality images to a video monitor, providing a real-time view of the internal structures.
- Vets can use the scope to take biopsies (tissue samples) for further analysis by a pathologist.
- Tools can also be passed through the endoscope to remove foreign objects, dilate strictures, or perform other minor procedures.
Common Uses
- Gastrointestinal Issues: Diagnosing and treating chronic vomiting, inflammation, or blockages in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
- Foreign Object Retrieval: Sometimes we are able to remove swallowed objects without the need for surgery.
