You know your cat better than anyone, but you may not recognize when they are feeling unwell. Cats are notorious for concealing pain and sickness. Typically, once they do show clinical signs, that means their condition has gotten worse. To help prevent your feline from developing a hard-to-treat illness, we recommend routine exams, laboratory testing, and using other diagnostic tools to monitor their health and screen for underlying disease. In addition to our in-house lab, our Woodbury, MN clinic also uses an advanced diagnostic laboratory, digital x-ray, and ultrasound to evaluate health and diagnose problems more accurately.
Routine testing is an important aspect of your cat’s wellness care. To schedule an exam or test, request an appointment online or give us a call at 651-705-PURR.
