Radioiodine Therapy
I-131 is the best and safest treatment for hyperthyroid cats. I-131 is a painless and efficient way to cure hyperthyroidism in cats and restore his or her health and quality of life. A four day hospital stay is required during which your cat will be cared for by our highly trained technical staff. Webcams will allow you to view your cat online while they are here. After treatment you will need to follow some specific guidelines. Our staff will discuss these procedures with you prior to your appointment.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to provide real-time images of organs in the body. Ultrasound is a common procedure in human medicine, and has several veterinary applications. Ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsies (the extraction of tissue for testing) are sometimes performed by the radiologist and can provide an immediate diagnosis.
Cytopathology
Our pathologists are dedicated to providing detailed cytology reports of the highest quality with the most information possible from the specimens provided by your veterinarian. Cytopathology is fast, inexpensive, minimally invasive, safe and accurate.
Why Refer to a Radiologist
An American College of Veterinary Radiology (board certified) veterinary radiologist diagnoses diseases by obtaining and interpreting medical images. Our radiologists will correlate medical image findings with other examinations and tests, recommend further examinations or treatments, and consult with your primary care veterinarian to provide you with the answers you need to make important medical decisions for your pet.
