While most routine lab work is outsourced, we can provide immediate results in cases of acute illness or emergencies. This allows us to diagnose and initiate treatment initial treatment promptly, rather than waiting for 24 hours or more for results.
Alongside immediate access to lab results, having imaging capabilities readily available is often crucial. New Canaan Veterinary Hospital boasts digital radiography technology, surpassing the traditional cassette and film (analog) process.
Furthermore, Dr. Potenza is a seasoned ultrasonographer, and our hospital offers this service on-site when needed. Radiography and ultrasonography complement each other as diagnostic techniques, each offering valuable information that enhances our diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
