Wait … We’ve got even More New Medical Technology

In addition to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the RAPS Animal hospital also just purchased an ultrasound machine – thanks to a very generous donation from a supporter.

Having an ultrasound machine in the hospital will allow doctors to provide more timely and responsive care to animals.
 
“An X-ray is two dimensions and ultrasound is three dimensions,” says Dr. Guy Arad, one of the veterinarians at the RAPS Animal Hospital. “We are able to see through and visualize the organs, measure them, check the texture of the organs, find abnormalities, growths, cancers.”
 
Under the guidance of the ultrasound, Dr. Arad says, vets can take samples in real time. 
 
“For example, if you have a lesion in the liver, you can aim a needle and take a sample without doing surgery,” he says. 
 
The ultrasound machine and the hyperbaric oxygen therapy are the latest additions to the state-of-the-art hospital, which is about to celebrate its first birthday Feb. 12. The fully equipped facility offers an entire range of diagnostics that can provide almost instant results of blood tests, organ functions, chemistry, urine analysis and more.
