Before your pet can be successfully treated for any malady, he or she must be accurately diagnosed, which is not as easy as it sounds. Our veterinarians have the reputation of providing some of the most precise pet diagnostics in Ottawa.
The first step in proper diagnostics is a good thorough history and full physical exam.
