Diagnostics

Diagnostics 

A wide range of diagnostic tests are available to ensure accurate assessment and optimal care for exotic and avian species.

​

•Fecal Test: Detects intestinal parasites and other gastrointestinal issues such as dysbiosis in parrot, helping us identify infections early and tailor appropriate treatments.

​

•Bacterial and Fungal Culture: Identifies bacterial or fungal infections from samples such as skin, oral cavity, or lesions, allowing for targeted antimicrobial therapy.

​

•Blood Test: Provides valuable information on organ function, inflammation and overall health. Blood panels help detect early signs of disease even in seemingly healthy animals.

​

•Viral Detection (PCR): Detects specific viral pathogens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, allowing rapid and precise diagnosis of viral infections.

​

•Radiographs (X-rays): Enables visualization of bones, organs, and internal structures to assess fractures, tumors, respiratory or digestive issues, and other conditions.

​

•Ultrasound: Provides real-time imaging of soft tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs, aiding in the diagnosis of internal abnormalities.
