When your pet does become sick or injured, we are fully prepared to take on any challenge. The potential difficulty in zeroing in on the source of a pet’s problem can be daunting, but we have developed great expertise in this area over the years and are often sought out for second opinions on particularly challenging cases. We also have earned tremendous respect from the clinicians at the veterinary teaching hospital at the University of Tennessee, based on a long history of thoughtful and careful diagnostics and treatment.
Diagnosis starts with a careful comprehensive physical examination, followed by whatever laboratory tests might be deemed necessary at that point. We have a fully equipped in-house laboratory that allows us to evaluate basic blood work and urinalysis results on the same day a pet is presented to us. We also have the option of using many outside laboratories for more in-depth evaluations of your pet’s health status.
