What is EKG?

An EKG is one of the most commonly used and safest diagnostic tools for assessing the health of your pet's heart. This device records the electrical impulses of your pet's heartbeat and amplifies them 3000 times to obtain a reading that can be used to assess the condition. You can be calm because we will get the most accurate results for your pet, without feeling any discomfort.

Here are some indicators when we will recommend a examination:
  • A heart rhythm that is difficult to hear clearly on auscultation
  • Potential irregular heart rhythm
  • Treatment monitoring
  • In preparation for and during general anesthesia
  • Fainting or respiratory symptoms
