- Laboratory ServicesDespite the very best preventive care, your pet can become sick. When this happens, we are here to provide advanced diagnostic services, including comprehensive internal medicine consultations, ultrasound, electrocardiograms, fluoroscopy and endoscopy that may not be available at your family veterinarian's hospital. Once completed, we will share the results with your family veterinarian to help formulate a treatment plan to return your companion to good health as soon as possible.
- X-RayOne of the newest additions of advanced diagnostic tools is our Vimago CT machine. We are the only veterinary practice in the Merrimack Valley/Southern New Hampshire area with this equipment. This mobile robotic scanner can take nose to tail high definition, computed tomography-fluoroscopy-digital radiography pictures in a single session. The Vimago can accommodate the tiniest pets, as small as 2 ounces, or as large as 200 pounds. Most CT scans will require general anesthesia, but because of the speed of our machine, sedation can be used in certain cases. This revolutionary equipment is available for use throughout the hospital and has already helped save and improve the lives of our patients.

But as they age, recognize that they aren't as strong as they once were. This doesn’t mean they can't be outside and play, just be conscientious of time and make sure they have plenty of warm blankets and treats when they come indoors.
