Cotati Small Animal Hospital
DIAGNOSTIC AND LAB SERVICES
At Cotati Small Animal, we offer comprehensive surgical services supported by advanced technology to ensure the best possible care for your pet. Our in-house tools allow us to accurately diagnose your pet's condition in real time, enabling us to plan and execute personalized treatments with precision and care.
We provide thorough parasite testing to help ensure your pet's health and well-being. Fecal testing is crucial for detecting intestinal parasites as it helps in early detection of asymptomatic infections, aids us in preventing complications such as malnutrition and anemia, and monitors the effectiveness of treatments. We also offer comprehensive heartworm testing, which screens for heartworm disease as well as three tick-borne diseases: Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis.
Our team understand that some conditions require advanced expertise so to provide the best care for your pet, we offer access to a team of traveling specialists who come to our facility. They can perform advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures, including echocardiograms, endoscopies, bronchoscopies, ultrasounds, and specialized surgeries. This service ensures your pet receives high-quality, specialized care without the need for additional travel, making it easier to address complex issues!
We often use radiology and radiographs to provide detailed imaging of your pet’s internal structures. This diagnostic tool helps us identify fractures, tumors, and other abnormalities that may not be visible during a physical exam. Our advanced imaging technology allows us to assess your pet’s condition with precision and develop an effective treatment plan. Whether it’s for routine evaluations or complex cases, our radiology services are essential for accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care.
Dental radiographs are a vital component of your pet’s oral health care. While a regular dental exam can assess the visible parts of your pet’s teeth and gums, dental radiographs allow us to see beneath the surface. This advanced imaging technology helps us detect hidden issues such as tooth root infections, bone loss, and other problems that aren’t visible during a standard oral examination. By identifying these issues early, we can provide more effective treatments, prevent further complications, and ensure your pet’s mouth stays healthy and pain-free!
With our on-site lab equipment, we have the ability to promptly run blood work, urinalysis, fecal exams, and other diagnostic tests, leading to faster results and quicker treatments. This capability not only helps us address health concerns but also supports ongoing monitoring of chronic conditions, early detection of infections, and assessment of organ function. By providing comprehensive and timely diagnostic services, we can proactively manage your pet’s health and make informed decisions to keep them healthy and happy.
When we need to investigate a suspicious lump, lesion, or any unusual tissue in your pet, our biopsy services provide essential insights. A biopsy involves taking a small tissue sample, which is examined under a microscope to detect signs of conditions like tumors, infections, or other abnormalities. While many biopsies are processed in-house for quick results, sometimes we may need to send the sample to a specialized lab for more detailed analysis. This ensures the most accurate diagnosis, so a precise and effective treatment plan can be created for your pet's needs.
