Routine Diagnostics
Dr. Kate provides routine diagnostic services, such as bloodwork, urinalysis, culture and sensitivity testing, in-house cytologies, biopsies, vaccine titers, etc. Results are communicated in a timely fashion, preferably via email so that her clients have a written copy of the test results and Dr. Kate's analysis and recommendations.
Specialty Diagnostics Veterinary medicine has benefited from advances in human medicine. No longer are the maladies of dogs and cats limited to "best guess" diagnosis and treatment. Now it is common for a dog or cat to have an ultrasound, echocardiogram, CT scan, or MRI as part of the diagnostic process. When necessary Dr. Kate refers her patients to area specialists for these advanced type of diagnostic tests.
Surgery and Xrays
Dr. Kate refers patients needing surgeries and xrays to area clinics. Most of the clinics in the greater Portland area are receptive to Dr. Kate's patients. Occasionally, if a surgery can be done with just a sedative plus local anesthetic, Dr. Kate will recommend an at-home surgery. Vaccinations
Dr. Kate analyzes each patient's lifestyle to determine the most frugal and yet the most protective vaccination protocol for that individual. Vaccine titers are also available as a means of determining whether certain boosters are necessary or not. | |
