Our pets can’t tell us when they feel sick, but they can show us. If they’re not racing to their food bowl like usual, or if they’re skipping a game of catch to curl up on the couch, there’s a good chance something is causing them pain. Getting to the root of the problem as quickly as possible is key to returning them back to their bouncy, slobbery selves.
Whether your pet makes an emergency visit to Hawthorne Animal Hospital’s 24/7 ER department or pops in for a wellness checkup, our team delivers state-of-the-art diagnostic medical testing, including radiology and ultrasounds, to pinpoint any health concerns on the spot. With accurate information in hand, we can ensure we’re treating the right problem, easing pain for your pet, and saving you time and money down the road.
