Medical Services for Pets in Winston-Salem, NC
At Midway Animal Clinic, we are dedicated to providing fast, accurate, and compassionate care. Our full suite of in-house medical services allows us to quickly assess your pet’s condition and begin appropriate treatment without delay, because every moment matters when it comes to your pet’s health.
Digital X-Ray Imaging
Our advanced digital X-ray equipment enables us to capture detailed images of your pet’s bones, joints, chest, and abdomen within seconds. This tool is invaluable for identifying fractures, arthritis, tumors, foreign objects, and other internal issues that may not be detectable during a physical exam.
Because the images are digital, they can be enhanced and shared instantly with specialists when needed, streamlining the diagnostic process and allowing us to begin treatment more efficiently.
While X-rays are painless, sedation is often helpful for dogs to minimize fear and anxiety during the procedure.
Veterinary Ultrasound and Echocardiograms
Ultrasound is a painless way to examine soft tissue structures such as the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, intestines, and reproductive organs. We use ultrasound to investigate symptoms like unexplained weight loss, abnormalities of blood work or x-rays, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, and screening for cancer.
This real-time imaging technique enables us to visualize movement within the body, such as blood flow and organ function, allowing us to make more informed decisions about your pet’s care.
Echocardiograms are a non-invasive ultrasound used to help assess your pet's heart function. By using this type of advanced imaging, we can diagnose heart conditions early and monitor ongoing cardiac health.
An echocardiogram can help to identify a range of heart problems, such as:
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Congestive heart failure
- Heart murmur
- Congenital heart defects (present from birth)
- Abnormal blood flow
- Potential blood clots
- And more
We partner with an ultrasonographer who visits our clinic to capture diagnostic images, which a board-certified veterinary cardiologist then reviews. This approach allows us to provide specialty-level cardiac care for our patients without the need to visit a specialty hospital.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Our fully equipped in-house lab allows us to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests, including:
- Complete blood counts (CBC)
- Blood chemistry panels
- Urinalysis (urine testing)
- Heartworm and tick-borne disease screening
Having these resources on-site means we can deliver results in less than an hour for many tests, which is especially critical in emergency or urgent care situations. Rapid testing helps us reach a diagnosis quickly and begin appropriate treatment without waiting for external labs.
