Emergency Pet Diagnostics for Rapid Assessment

When your dog or cat is experiencing a medical emergency, a fast and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic provides comprehensive emergency pet diagnostics Pearland and Houston area pet parents can rely on to quickly identify conditions and develop appropriate treatment plans during critical situations.

Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities

Our diagnostic department features state-of-the-art equipment designed for rapid emergency assessment and evaluation. Advanced in-house diagnostic abilities include everything from tonometry to assess intraocular pressure and EKG analysis to evaluate cardiac health. We provide same-visit results for most diagnostic tests, enabling our emergency veterinarians to make prompt diagnoses and treatment decisions when time is critical.

Comprehensive Laboratory Testing

Our in-house laboratory performs a wide range of stat lab work, including complete blood counts (CBCs), comprehensive chemistry panels, blood gas analysis, electrolyte assessments, blood pressure measurements, coagulation monitoring, and urinalyses. These tests rapidly identify issues with organ function, infection, anemia, and metabolic disturbances affecting critically ill pets.

Advanced Anesthetic Monitoring

We utilize human-grade anesthetic monitoring equipment for all anesthetic procedures, ensuring optimal patient safety and comfort. Our anesthetic monitoring parameters include blood oxygen levels, capnography (CO2 analysis), respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure, EKG, and body temperature.

Digital Radiographic Imaging

Our digital X-ray system produces fast, high-quality images for evaluating fractures, foreign body ingestion, bloat, pneumonia, and internal organ assessment. Digital imaging provides crisp, clear, and immediate images, which are crucial for emergencies. Digital X-ray images can be shared easily with other veterinarians, making seamless care a simple process. Additionally, our tele-radiology capabilities mean that we can get assessments by and collaborate with board-certified radiologists 24/7. 

Ultrasound Imaging 

Abdominal and cardiac ultrasound provides real-time imaging of internal organs, fluid accumulation, and soft tissue abnormalities. Ultrasound is beneficial for evaluating heart conditions, pregnancy complications, internal bleeding, internal masses, and foreign bodies.

Endoscopic Procedures

We utilize endoscopy for non-invasive examinations of the gastrointestinal tract and nasal cavities, as well as foreign body retrieval and biopsy collection. This advanced diagnostic tool enables the visualization of internal structures without the need for surgical intervention. 

Powerful Reliability 

Our facility features a backup generator that maintains most hospital operations during power outages. However, digital X-ray services may be temporarily limited due to the high power requirements of this equipment. All other diagnostic capabilities remain fully operational.
