Noticing any lump or suspicious lesion on our furry friend? Don’t wait for it to subside and get it biopsied soon.

What: It can be done both externally and internally by surgically removing tissue from the body to get analysed by the pathologist.

When: A small piece, or a slice can be tested when surgical removal of entire mass seems critical and invasive.

How: By giving local anaesthesia to the pet, a portion of the mass is carved out for sample testing.

Why: To avoid penetration of the unwanted mass through vital organs and excessive blood loss, biopsy is a prerequisite for mass/tumour removal surgeries.

Your pet faces frequent digestive problems with stomach aches and irregular bowel movements. Endoscopy would find the real monster for you.

What: It provides a full-colour view of the oesophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine and colon. Inflammation, abnormal swelling, masses, and areas of scarring can be observed.

When: Performed for stomach aches and indigestive complaints by pet parents.

How: A minimally invasive process to evaluate organs from inside without any incision.

Why: It aids veterinarians in observing the mass or critical scarring in a 3D format without disturbing it.

High frequency sound waves help in creating images of pet’s internal organs and targeted tissues.

What: To examine the pet’s internal before surgery and evaluate the tissue / organ condition

When: Recommended in examining heart disease, trauma, gastrointestinal or pregnancy

How: Non-invasive procedure where sedation is generally not recommended until advised by the veterinarian.

Why: Evaluating pregnancies, foetal health, heart conditions, abdominal organs, identification of cysts and tumours.

Cytology is often used to diagnose growths or masses (tumours) found on the surface of the body, assess bodily fluids, internal organs (liver, lung, lymph nodes, kidney), and abnormal fluids accumulating in the chest and abdomen.

What: It is directly performed on the mass where a needle is inserted into the tissue and the plunger of syringe is pulled back to create suction that withdraws or aspirate cells from unwanted tissue.

When: Non-invasive technique is used for preliminary evaluating a working diagnosis and a plan for surgery. It can be used during surgery to assess tumour.

How: Techniques like skin scraping, impression smear, cotton tipped swabs, lavage can be used to collect sample.

Why: It helps veterinarians in deciding a surgical plan for tumour/mass removal.

Just like us, pets heart problems increase with age. Veterinarians can detect early on about possible heart conditions and advise a treatment plan.

What: Electrocardiography (ECG) helps in determining accurate heart rate.

When: Heart murmurs, irregular heartbeats, respiratory issues, weakness, restlessness, intolerance of physical activities.

How: ECG helps in amplifying the heartbeat and generates a report for evaluation. By placing the device on the vein and heart to check pulse count.

Why: Abnormalities in heartbeat can aid in diagnosing symptoms.

A non-invasive imaging technique uses ultrasound waves to create a two-dimensional image of the heart, allowing diagnosis to be accurate.

What: Evaluates heart size and performance, points out blood clots, valve functions, or any anomalies.

When: It is used while giving cardiac treatment to the pet, especially for chronic heart patients. Symptoms: shortness of breath or irregular heartbeats.

How: Uses sound vibrations to create a 2D image of the heart. The entire structure can be monitored in real time.

Why: As per the breed of the pet and the recommended size of heart, any abnormalities, genetic condition or discomfort in heart muscles can be detected pre-emptively.

Consistency of pooping is necessary for a healthy pet.

What: Faecal floatation is one of the common techniques used that spins the tube in a centrifugal (circular) manner in a laboratory or taking it on a slide to test under microscope.

When: Recommended for routine wellness check-ups, unexplained weight loss, tiredness, loss of appetite, or suspected infections.

How: A small blood sample is collected and analysed using advanced diagnostic technology for quick and precise results.

Why: Helps in the early detection of diseases like anaemia, diabetes, liver/kidney disorders, and infections, ensuring timely medical intervention.

Discomfort in the abdominal area, it can be due to number of reasons. Let’s find out the exact one.

What: Allows quick diagnosis of intestinal obstructions or pancreatic challenges, or food infection. Evaluates soft tissue structure in musculoskeletal system, abdomen and thorax.

When: Suffering from vomiting or diarrhoea

How: Sound waves are used to create imagery of the pet’s target areas. Movement of organs, blood flow and structure of organ is checked.

Why: Identification of abnormalities in blood and urine samples would encourage an ultrasound for getting an image of pet’s internal system.

Faced brain or spinal injuries, sudden fall in an irrational manner hurting the pet in sensitive areas can be tested using MRI.

What: MRI can point the root of ailment or injury point in a 3D manner. For cancer patients, radiology can be targeted to the exact tumour area reducing further exposure of radiation.

When: frequent seizure, sudden behavioural shift, stroke, cancerous tumour or spinal ailments.

How: For a pet that seems to be hyperactive is sedated before getting MRI because the process demands stillness to take 3D image of the internal organs.
