At East Bentleigh Animal Care, we offer a range of advanced diagnostic tools to help us accurately diagnose and treat your pet’s condition. From non-invasive ultrasound and endoscopy to detailed CT scanning, our team is committed to providing the highest standard of care with minimal stress for your pet. These technologies help us get clear answers quickly, so we can create the most effective treatment plan.
Ultrasound Services
Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to see inside your pet’s body in real time. At East Bentleigh Animal Care, we use ultrasound to examine organs such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, and heart, as well as to detect pregnancies and investigate unexplained symptoms. It’s particularly useful for soft tissue and abdominal imaging, and often avoids the need for more invasive procedures. Our experienced team performs ultrasounds with gentle care, ensuring your pet stays calm and comfortable throughout the process. We’ll walk you through the results and recommend the next steps based on our findings.
Endoscopy Services
Endoscopy allows us to look inside your pet’s body using a small camera, without the need for major surgery. This minimally invasive procedure is commonly used to investigate chronic vomiting, diarrhoea, coughing, or to remove foreign objects. At East Bentleigh Animal Care, our endoscopy equipment gives us a clear view of your pet’s internal structures, such as the stomach, airways, and intestines. It helps us diagnose conditions quickly, with faster recovery times and less stress for your pet. If your pet requires further treatment, our team will provide a clear plan and keep you informed every step of the way.
CT Scanning
CT (Computed Tomography) scanning provides detailed 3D images of your pet’s body, offering an advanced level of diagnostic precision. At East Bentleigh Animal Care, we have our own on-site CT scanner, allowing us to quickly assess complex conditions involving the head, spine, chest, joints, or internal organs. This technology helps us detect issues such as tumours, fractures, or internal injuries with greater accuracy than traditional X-rays. Having this equipment in-clinic means faster results and seamless care, without the need for referral. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout.
