In-House Veterinary Laboratory
Our fully equipped, on-site laboratory ensures fast, accurate test results when you need them most. From complete blood counts to urinalysis and microscopic evaluations, we can provide critical diagnostic information in as little as 20 minutes.
Our lab testing capabilities include:
Bloodwork
Different blood panels allow us to check for anemia, infection, inflammation, or organ dysfunction.
Fecal Exam
A small amount of your pet’s feces can reveal hidden parasitic infections.
Urinalysis
A two-part urinalysis helps identify urinary tract infections, kidney issues, or diabetes.
Microscopic Analysis
Samples from lumps and bumps, ears, skin, and fluid aid in diagnosing infections, parasites, skin conditions, or cancerous processes.
Digital Pet X-Rays
Digital X-rays allow us to safely and noninvasively examine your pet’s internal structures. This advanced imaging technology provides clear, detailed images that help us evaluate bones, joints, and internal organs like the heart, lungs, and abdomen. X-rays can reveal a variety of conditions, such as:
- Fractures
- Bladder stones
- Foreign objects your pet may have swallowed
- Certain spinal cord issues
- Abnormal organ sizes or shapes
- Masses and tumors
Key advantages of digital X-rays include:
- High Resolution: Digital X-rays produce high-resolution images, allowing us to identify issues with greater precision and accuracy.
- Fast Results: Digital images are available almost immediately, helping us make quicker diagnoses.
- Easy Sharing: If needed, we can email your pet’s X-rays to specialists or other veterinary professionals for interpretation or referrals.
Pet Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound technology uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time, 3D images of your pet’s internal organs. This noninvasive, painless diagnostic tool allows us to examine organs like the liver, kidneys, spleen, and bladder from multiple angles, giving us a complete picture of your pet’s health.
With ultrasound, we can diagnose conditions such as:
- Tumors and cysts
- Inflammation or fluid buildup
- Bladder or kidney stones
- Internal abnormalities affecting organ function
- Pregnancy, including monitoring fetal development and heartbeats
Ultrasound imaging is especially valuable for assessing how organs are functioning in real time, enabling us to detect issues that may not appear in other diagnostic tests.
We combine compassionate care with cutting-edge technology to deliver the best outcomes for your pet. If they’re showing signs of illness or you’d like to schedule a preventive diagnostic screening, contact us. Together, we’ll keep your pet happy and healthy for years to come!
