Diagnosis
for Correct Treatment of Sick Pets
In a perfect world, we vets
would be sitting around doing nothing. Or maybe spending our
days fishing! Sadly, this is not to be and it is an unfortunate
fact that one day your pet will be ill and will need treatment,
fast!
 At
Chastain Veterinary Medical Group, we diagnose before we treat.
So, one of our first priorities is finding and identifying
the cause of a pet’s illness so that we may treat it correctly.
Our in-house veterinary medical diagnostic laboratory provides
us with essential information that could be critical to your
pet.
With equipment such as a flow-cytometry
based CBC machine, blood chemistry analyzer, automated urinalysis
machine, wireless ECG, electronic ocular tonometry and oscillometric
blood pressure machine, the time between examination, diagnosis
and treatment can be kept to an absolute minimum.
With this same hi-tech equipment, we
can perform same-day pre-anesthetic blood testing. This is
especially important in veterinary medicine because, unlike
human medicine, our patients can’t tell us when and how they’re
feeling poorly. Pre-anesthetic blood testing also greatly
reduces the risks associated with anesthesia and surgery.
