Our Veterinary Diagnostic Services
There’s nothing more important to us than restoring your ailing pet to full health. That’s why our diagnostic services are designed to meet your needs for convenience, as well as your pet’s need for a fast, responsive, and accurate diagnosis. Here are the services we offer onsite:
- Complete blood work: Pinpointing certain diseases and infections is easiest with a blood sample. Red and white blood cell counts and overall blood chemistry can reveal conditions such as anemia, leukemia, allergic reactions, and bone marrow problems.
Urinalysis: A urine test can tell the vet whether your pet has a urinary tract infection, kidney problems, or other conditions.- Stool samples: A small amount of stool examined under a microscope can reveal the presence of parasites in your pet’s intestinal tract.
- X-ray: Internal images of your pet allow us to find and assess broken bones, bowel obstructions, hernias, and more.
- Ultrasound: X-rays don’t always tell the whole story. When it comes to finding infections, tumors, and abnormal fluid in or around your pet’s internal organs, ultrasounds are the best diagnostic tool.
- Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of your pet’s heart can reveal problems such as heartworms or heart murmurs.
- Endoscopy: This diagnostic test lets the vet examine your pet’s esophagus, stomach, and upper intestines without the need for exploratory surgery.
- Colonoscopy: Similar to an endoscopy, a colonoscopy is used to examine internal organs using a camera on the end of a flexible tube, in this case revealing problems with the colon, cecum, large bowel, and rectum.
Although we offer this wide range of diagnostic services, we’re careful to recommend only suitable tests. This ensures we get the results we need without placing undue stress on your pet.

- More detailed treatment plans: When our specialists are the ones performing diagnostic tests, we have a better idea of what’s making your pet sick. The accuracy and detail of the resulting treatment plan speeds up the recovery process so your pet can return to full health faster.
