Accurate diagnosis of illness is pivotal to the success of treatment
Most illnesses have overlapping, clinical signs. To make a diagnoses we use:
- The history you provide
- The pets' presenting clinical signs
- Physical examination findings
- Our knowledge of the animal’s body and disease processes to formulate the various diagnoses possible
We may need to employ;
- Blood tests
- X-ray radiography
- Ultrasound imaging
In order to confirm the diagnosis and refine the treatment plan appropriately.
We have invested in reliable imaging and laboratory equipment and we also use efficient and rapid external laboratory facilities.
Specialist referrals
When the diagnosis is challenging and/or treatment is complicated or very specialised, we do not hesitate in seeking help from our specialist colleagues. We will contact the Royal Veterinary Collage or other private specialist referral centres in and around London or refer your pet to a specialist of your choice.
