Sick Pet Services

When your pet is not feeling their best, we start with asking questions and getting the full picture of what is going on. Then our veterinarians will perform a full physical exam which includes all 12 body systems. This exam gives us a starting off point for creating a treatment plan to help get the pep back in your pet's step!  

With patients who can't tell us how they're feeling, diagnostic testing is an incredibly valuable asset to diagnosing illnesses. We are equipped with an in-house laboratory to get your pet's tests results quickly to get them feeling better as soon as possible! We are able to run a variety of blood, urine, fecal/internal parasite and histopathology tests. After your pet's physical exam, our knowledgeable veterinarians will recommend the appropriate testing for your pet. 

Digital x-rays or radiographs are a valuable tool in veterinary medicine, as they allow our veterinarians to quickly and accurately diagnose a variety of conditions in animals. We may recommend x-rays to diagnose conditions such as intestinal obstructions, orthopedic issues/injuries, heart disease in dogs, urinary stones, and more. Having digital x-rays means that we get results instantly and can figure out a treatment plan for your pet within the same day.

At Heartland we have an ultrasound that we use for basic imaging. However, for complex ultrasound we are fortunate to be able to utilize a mobile ultrasound service for diagnostic imaging. This service allows your pet to have their ultrasound done here with us, and we are able to provide short wait times for urgent imaging.
