Diagnostic tests

As veterinarians, we often encounter situations that are unique with every furry patient. So, in order to have a clear idea of your pet’s medical condition and the progression of a disease in particular, diagnostic tools are crucial to our management.

From the X-rays to ultrasound and blood testing, discover a wide variety of diagnostic tests offered by MyOwnVet for your cat or dog.

Radiographs or X-Rays

Radiographs or X-Rays are one of the most useful diagnostic tools that allow us to examine your pet’s bones, oral cavity, abdomen or lungs.

With a new state of the art digital X-Ray machine, we can process the images and study them carefully on a computer monitor. The software allows us to get a faster and more accurate diagnostic so that your pet spends less time on the X-Ray table at our clinic. The images are easily transferable through email if a second opinion is needed.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a procedure that is usually used to assess the surface of your pet’s internal organs through a small tube inserted into their body. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique that requires shorter anaesthetic time and no surgical incision.

It is also used to investigate the causes of vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, swelling, weight loss, respiratory problems or to collect biopsy samples. Sometimes, it can be used to remove small objects.

At MyOwnVet, we commonly use endoscopy to get an accurate diagnosis when other tests are inconclusive or do not give us a complete picture of the problem.

Ultrasound

Similar to endoscopy, ultrasound is used to assess your pet’s internal organs but in a gentle, non-invasive and painless way. The specific sound waves produce a moving and real-time image of the targeted organ(s).

At MyOwnVet clinic, we evaluate the position, size, shape, tissue density and structure of internal organs with the help of the ultrasound. Also, we use it to diagnose pregnancy and even to identify tumours during a surgical biopsy.

In general, an ultrasound takes less than an hour to perform and may require sedation. Therefore, it gives us the necessary time to give a diagnostic and discuss treatment options at the time of the appointment, thus reducing your wait, stress and worry.

IDEXX Diagnostics

Our in-clinic high-performing diagnostic machines are the IDEXX laboratories – a leading world-class laboratory in Veterinary Diagnostics – latest release (IDEXX “LaserCyte Dx” and also IDEXX “Catalyst One” Machines).

These machines can perform a range of tests from simple Pre-Anaesthetic blood tests up to those tests that enable us to diagnose almost all underlying conditions your pet may have! All this at a very competitive and reasonable price.

For those tests that cannot be performed in a veterinary clinic, we send our samples to IDEXX Laboratories so that we get the most professional and accurate outcome possible.

In-clinic Cytology

At MyOwnVet, in-clinic cytology tests, using samples collected either upon consultation or in the Surgery theatre, are carefully processed.

Dr Ahmed, as you know, over the last few months we have been dealing with our Gussy Boy having Lymphoma, and the compassion and love you have shown us and our boy through this difficult time have helped us deal with a very hard loss. You looked after Gus like he was your own, you welcomed him in like he was family, and he loved you for it. Your love for animals is above what I’ve ever seen from any vet in my life, you are truly a wonderful man Ahmed, thank you for caring so much and making a tough time a little less painful and being there when we needed you.

Thank you so much for looking after him, we truly appreciate everything you have done for us and Gus. Jared, you also took Gus on as your own, its hard not to, right? Every time I spoke to you, your compassion was so soothing. He was your buddy for a couple of weeks and Gus absolutely loved going there because you guys made him part of your family. Thank you. I can’t thank you both enough for all you have done for us, Gussy Boy was a true star, and his personality rubbed off on anyone who knew him. Thank you once again

I just wanted to say thank you to Ahmed & Jared from My Own Vet for the honesty, care & compassion that they’ve shown to my family & our cat Fonzie over the last couple of weeks, including whilst we were overseas on holiday. We made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Fonze last night but the guys from My Own Vet went above & beyond the call of duty to ensure that our furry friend had the best possible yet most cost-effective treatment & was comfortable right up until the end. Ahmed & Jared’s love of animals truly shines through & we’re incredibly lucky to have them serving our community. Thanks guys.
