Diagnosis and treatment of animal urological diseases in Los Angeles
Animal urology is a field in which we apply the most modern methods of research and treatment. But the observation of the guardian plays a significant role. Bring your pet in for an examination immediately if you notice these signs:
- Frequent or difficult urination.
- Urinary incontinence.
- Blood in the urine.
- Constant thirst or ignoring the water bowl.
The disorders that veterinary urologists specialize in are easier to treat if their symptoms are noticed in the early stages of development. Being vigilant will save your pet's health, and perhaps even life.
How are animals examined at Veterinary Hospital Animal Clinic International?
When dogs, cats, and other animals with suspected urological problems are brought to our veterinary hospital, our best veterinarians begin diagnostics. Patients are prescribed such examinations as:
- Urinalysis.
- Ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder.
- Clinical and biochemical blood tests.
- Bacteriological culture to identify pathogenic microflora.
These studies show whether the pet has a genetic pathology, kidney damage due to poisoning, urolithiasis, pyelonephritis, leptospirosis, cystitis, tumor process, urethral blockage, which prevents the excretion of urine from the body. If necessary, surgical intervention will be performed. Whenever possible, we prefer minimally invasive surgery with an endoscope.
Urological problems can arise in animals from improper housing, relevant genetics or changes at the cellular level. With the help of modern equipment and our own laboratory, our veterinarians in Los Angeles localize the disorder and select the best method to eliminate it. After the treatment, the guardian will be informed how to promote the pet's quick recovery and prevent the disease from recurring.
