At Dulham Veterinary Service, we understand that you may have questions about your pet’s health checkup. Below are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand our Ultrasound & Lab Checkup service.
Our ultrasound service uses non-invasive imaging to examine your pet’s internal organs, including the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and abdomen. It helps detect abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, or fluid buildup without causing discomfort to your pet.
Lab tests provide critical insights into your pet’s internal health. Blood work, urine analysis, and other diagnostics can detect issues like infections, organ dysfunction, or metabolic problems early, allowing for timely intervention.
A typical ultrasound and lab checkup can take 30–60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the tests required. We prioritize your pet's comfort and ensure a thorough examination.
In most cases, sedation is not necessary. However, if your pet is highly anxious or uncomfortable, we may recommend mild sedation to ensure a stress-free experience.
For healthy pets, we recommend a comprehensive checkup at least once a year. Senior pets or those with existing health issues may need more frequent visits.
