Comprehensive Diagnostics for Cats and Dogs
Our diagnostic capabilities allow us to uncover the cause of your pet’s symptoms quickly, ensuring timely and effective care. Whether your pet is experiencing unexplained weight loss, vomiting, limping, or changes in appetite, our team uses a combination of laboratory testing and imaging to find the answers.
These services are essential to preventive medicine, helping identify issues such as infections, organ dysfunction, or internal injuries before they become serious.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Our in-house lab gives us the ability to analyze your pet’s samples within minutes — without the delay of sending them to an outside facility. This means faster results, quicker diagnoses, and more immediate care.
We perform a wide range of lab tests, including:
- Complete blood counts (CBC) and chemistry panels
- Urinalysis and fecal exams
- Heartworm, tick-borne, and other parasite testing
- Cytology and basic pathology
With rapid results available during your pet’s visit, our veterinarians can make informed decisions and start treatment right away if needed. This approach is especially valuable for sick pets, emergencies, or pre-surgical screenings.
Imaging
Sometimes, what’s going on inside your pet can’t be seen through physical exams or lab results alone. Our clinic uses advanced imaging technology to visualize bones, organs, and soft tissues in detail — allowing us to diagnose conditions accurately and noninvasively.
Digital X-Rays
Our digital X-rays provide clear, detailed images of your pet’s internal structures, helping us detect fractures, arthritis, tumors, and foreign objects. Digital imaging allows for instant review and precise adjustments to ensure the best possible clarity. It also exposes pets to less radiation than traditional film X-rays and makes sharing results easier if a specialist review is needed.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging gives us a real-time view of your pet’s internal organs and blood flow. This gentle, noninvasive diagnostic tool is especially useful for examining the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and reproductive system. We use ultrasound to identify internal abnormalities, guide procedures, and confirm diagnoses without the need for surgery.
