Physical Exam
Complete Medical Assessment begins with a thorough physical examination whereby your pet’s eyes, ears, skin, heart, lungs, neurological, gastrointestinal and skeletal system are examined for any abnormalities.
As your pet ages, part of an annual physical exam will include diagnostic tests. These tests help determine how well the organs and systems of the body are functioning. These tests include:
- Blood tests can be performed as necessary to assess the proper functioning of your pet’s kidneys, liver, pancreas, and endocrine system including the thyroid gland and adrenal glands.
- Urine tests can detect similar problems.
- Depending on your pet’s condition, we may recommend further diagnostic tests such as radiography (X-rays), endoscopy (internal scoping), ultrasound or surgery.
