Diagnostics

We offer several options for client convenience of pet supply delivery. We have both an in-clinic pharmacy and an online pharmacy for medication, food, and treats, with doorstep delivery convenience.

Digital radiographs (x-rays) provide fast diagnosis of issues and are available for viewing immediately on-screen without the processing time of traditional film x-rays. This helps our team get to work with a treatment plan for your pets. Common reasons for dogs and cats to have radiographs are broken bones, heart disease, foreign objects, respiratory issues, and cancer diagnosis.

Seemingly healthy pets can have more happening below the surface than we realize. Blood, urine, and fecal testing help us see essential information about your pet's health that is otherwise undetectable.

As part of our commitment to preventive care, we recommend yearly blood and fecal screens to check for parasites and diseases (and the potential for disease). Early detection is vital for maintaining your pet’s health and helping them sidestep future issues.

Rapid results allow us to quickly diagnose and start treatment for a sick pet and perform pre-anesthetic blood testing.

Pet ultrasound is an excellent tool that views the body's soft tissues to capture details that X-rays cannot. Please see our ultrasound page for more information. This technology gives Cahaba Valley a major advantage in diagnosing and treating disease, internal injury, and other health problems.
