Diagnostics
When your pet is sick or injured, getting accurate answers fast makes a difference. At [HOSPITAL NAME], we offer in-house pet diagnostics in [CITY NAME], including lab work, digital X-rays, and ultrasound. Having this equipment on-site means we get results quickly, which means we can start treatment sooner.
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site lab allows us to run blood work, urinalysis, and other tests without sending samples to an outside facility. This saves time and gets your pet diagnosed and treated faster.
We can perform:
- Complete blood counts
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Pancreatic evaluation
- Pre-anesthetic bloodwork
- FeLV/FIV testing in cats
- Parvovirus testing in dogs
- Urinalysis, fecal screens, and other diagnostic tests
If your pet needs specialized testing beyond what we can do here, we’ll send samples to an outside lab and get the results back to you as soon as possible.
Digital Radiology (X-Rays)
X-rays help us see what’s going on inside your pet’s body. We use them to diagnose fractures, find foreign objects, evaluate organs, check for masses, and assess dental disease. Digital X-rays produce clear images quickly, which means less time waiting and less stress for your pet.
Some X-rays require your pet to stay completely still, which may mean sedation or brief anesthesia.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. It’s particularly useful for examining the abdomen, including organs like the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, and stomach. We also use specialized ultrasound (echocardiogram) to evaluate heart function, valve problems, and blood flow.
Ultrasound is painless and non-invasive. Some pets need light sedation to stay still during the exam, but the procedure itself doesn’t hurt.
Getting Answers
When we combine these diagnostic tools—bloodwork, X-rays, and ultrasound—we can get a complete picture of what’s happening with your pet and create an effective treatment plan.
