Diagnostics
Warrensburg Animal Hospital
has an in-house lab, complete with CBC and Serum Chemistry machines
to process bloodwork. We also have an electrocardiograph (ECG), an
ultrasound, an endoscope and x-ray machine.

An anesthetized cat undergoes an ECG. An ECG provides information
on heart function, such as rate and rhythm and is useful in diagnosing
problems with the heart.
Below: Dr. Houtsma uses the endoscope on
a dog. The endoscope is useful for obtaining a view of the digestive
tract of the dog. For example, it can be useful in diagnosing the
cause of vomiting in an animal and can allow conditions such as ulcers
to be diagnosed.It can also be used to retrieve some objects that
an animal may have swallowed.
