Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pet needs lab work?
Lab work is a vital tool that helps us see what isn’t visible during a routine physical exam. We typically recommend diagnostics when we suspect conditions such as internal obstructions, tumors, infections, or organ issues. At our Springdale clinic, we never perform lab work unnecessarily—we only recommend it when it’s essential for accurately diagnosing and treating your pet’s specific health concern.
Are x-rays safe for pets?
Yes, digital x-rays are very safe. They emit only low, controlled levels of radiation, and we take every precaution to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during the process. In many cases, the diagnostic benefits of imaging far outweigh the minimal risk. Our team is trained to use this technology efficiently and carefully.
If my pet was bitten by a tick, do they need to be screened?
Yes, we strongly recommend lab work after a tick bite. Ticks can transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease, which can be fatal if left untreated. Early detection through blood screening allows us to start treatment promptly. If your pet has been bitten, bring them to our Springdale veterinarians, and we’ll determine the appropriate testing.
