Diagnostic services
Leesville Animal Hospital is set up for both complete outpatient and hospital care for your pet. Through the combination of our in-house laboratory, outside medical laboratories and our own x-ray equipment and electrocardiograph, we have the ability to do most diagnostic work-ups required for your pet's good health.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound is similar to an x-ray, but provides real time evaluation of your pet's internal organs. With access to board-certified radiology specialists, we can provide an extremely high level of advanced imaging services on-site so you know your pet is being evaluated by experts in the field. Ultrasounds can locate foreign bodies in the intestine without costly and time consuming x-ray procedures, leading to earlier intervention and surgical removal. An ultrasound examination is less invasive, less stressful and more comfortable for your pet.
Endoscopy
An endoscopy allows our veterinarians to look inside your pet using a series of small cameras attached to a flexible tube. This lets the doctor look inside a body cavity or organ and diagnose a problem without invasive surgery. An endoscopy allows biopsies, cultures and removal of foreign objects from the lungs, stomach or intestines. Endoscopies are less stressful than standard surgery and allow for a quicker recovery time for your pet.
On-site laboratory
Our laboratory can perform a variety of diagnostic procedures for your pet, including blood counts, serum chemistries, electrolytes, cross-matching and parasite identification. These procedures allow us to help diagnose disease and acute symptoms easily, without causing stress or discomfort to your pet.
