the art Iddex machines, which do all in house blood work,
in house heartworm testing, fecal examinations, and
urinalysis.
Laboratory testing plays an integral role in the early

provide essential information by which our veterinarians
can identify blood disorders, kidney and liver disease,
diabetes, infection, cancer, thyroid disease and other
hormonal problems.
Our extensive laboratory provides fast and accurate
information that is necessary for the well being of your pet.

YEARLY CHECK UPS

Regular wellness exams are the key to keeping your pet healthy. We recommend all
pets undergo an annual "nose to tail" wellness exam, though more frequent exams are
encouraged. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
and frequent exams can help spot health problems in your pet before they become
expensive to treat and potentially life-threatening. During an exam, we examine your
pet's nose, eyes and ears, check your pet's teeth and oral cavity, listen to your pet's
heart and lungs, carefully examine the skin and coat for any unusual lumps or swelling,
palpate the abdomen and muscles and perform an orthopedic evaluation of the bones,
joints and back.
XRAYS
X-rays are one of the most useful techniques available
for diagnosing your pet's problem quickly and
efficiently. By providing an inside snapshot of your pet's
body and organs, x-rays can aid in the diagnosis of
orthopedic problems such as fractures and hip
dysplasia, as well as arthritic changes in bones and
joints. X-rays are also used to view the heart, lungs and
abdomen, allowing for the diagnosis of heart disease,
bladder stones, tumors and other health problems. We
are equipped with the latest
digital radiographic
technology and our highly-skilled technicians are
well-trained in using radiographic equipment.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasounds can be an important, non-invasive
diagnostic tool for your pet. Used primarily for
abdominal and cardiac problems, Norwalk Veterinary
Hospital is equipped with the latest veterinary
ultrasound technology to help diagnose disease and
other health problems quickly and efficiently.
Often considered more exact than x-rays, ultrasound
provides our veterinarians with a real-time "movie" of
what is happening inside your pet's body. Ultrasounds
can provide a highly-detailed image of your pet's
organs, which leads to a fast, accurate diagnosis.
Because the procedure is non-invasive, anesthesia is
generally not required, resulting in a less-stressful,
more comfortable visit for your pet.
