As pets age, their health needs change. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we offer geriatric panels to monitor your senior pet’s health. These comprehensive tests evaluate organ function, detect diseases, and help manage conditions like arthritis or kidney disease. Early detection through regular geriatric screenings allows us to provide personalized care and improve your pet’s quality of life.
Skin Scraping
Skin scraping is a diagnostic tool used to detect skin conditions such as mites, fungal infections, and other irritants. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we use skin scraping to diagnose conditions like mange or ringworm. This simple, non-invasive test helps our veterinarians quickly identify the root cause of skin issues and develop a treatment plan to restore your pet’s comfort.
Radiology
Radiology (X-rays) is essential for diagnosing a variety of internal conditions, including fractures, tumors, and digestive blockages. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we use advanced veterinary radiology to capture detailed images of your pet’s internal structures. These non-invasive images allow our veterinarians to accurately diagnose injuries or illnesses and create a tailored treatment plan for your pet.
Tonometry
Tonometry is a diagnostic test that measures the pressure inside your pet’s eyes to detect conditions like glaucoma. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we use tonometry to assess your pet’s eye health and prevent vision loss from high intraocular pressure. Early detection and treatment of glaucoma can significantly improve your pet’s long-term ocular health.
Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to visualize your pet’s internal organs. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we perform ultrasounds to diagnose conditions affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, and more. This advanced diagnostic tool helps our veterinarians detect tumors, fluid buildup, or other internal issues, allowing for early intervention and treatment.
Endocrinology (Hormones)
Hormonal imbalances can cause a wide range of health issues in pets. At Killarney Animal Hospital, our endocrinology services include testing for conditions such as diabetes, Addison’s disease, and Cushing’s disease. By diagnosing hormone-related conditions early, we can provide targeted treatments that help regulate your pet’s hormone levels and improve their overall well-being.
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a routine diagnostic test that evaluates your pet’s overall health by examining red and white blood cells, as well as platelets. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we use CBC tests to detect infections, anemia, and immune disorders. This test provides critical information to guide our treatment plans, ensuring your pet receives the care they need.
Progesterone Testing
For breeders or those managing reproductive health, progesterone testing is essential for determining the optimal time for breeding. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we offer progesterone testing to monitor hormone levels and predict ovulation in female pets. This service increases the chances of successful mating and helps ensure the health and safety of both the mother and offspring.
Urinalysis
Urinalysis is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess your pet’s kidney and urinary tract health. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we perform urinalysis to detect infections, kidney disease, bladder stones, and other internal conditions. This test allows our veterinarians to diagnose and treat urinary issues early, helping your pet maintain overall health and comfort.
Biochemistry
Biochemistry panels provide valuable insight into your pet’s organ function, including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we use biochemistry tests to diagnose metabolic diseases and monitor conditions like diabetes or liver disease. These comprehensive blood tests help us create personalized treatment plans for your pet’s ongoing care.
Clotting Factor Diagnostic
Clotting factor diagnostics are critical for pets with bleeding disorders or those undergoing surgery. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we offer clotting factor testing to assess your pet’s blood clotting ability. This test ensures your pet’s safety during procedures and helps diagnose conditions like hemophilia or Von Willebrand’s disease, allowing us to manage their health effectively.
Microscopic Evaluation of Ear Mites/Ear Cytology
Ear infections and mite infestations can cause discomfort and hearing loss in pets. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we perform ear cytology and microscopic evaluations to diagnose ear mites, bacterial infections, and yeast infections. These diagnostic tools allow us to identify the cause of ear problems and provide effective treatments to restore your pet’s ear health.
Lactate Testing
Lactate testing measures the level of lactate in your pet’s blood, which can indicate tissue oxygenation and overall health. At Killarney Animal Hospital, we use lactate testing to assess critical conditions, such as shock or heart failure, ensuring that we can provide timely and accurate treatment in emergencies. This test helps us monitor your pet’s recovery and response to treatment.
