The Importance of Lab Testing

We regularly perform blood and fecal tests with our in-house lab equipment, which can provide us with critical information about your pet’s health. Results can be obtained quickly with our in-house testing machines, but we also have the option of sending out samples to external laboratories if we need a more comprehensive profile.

Annual testing is important for both dogs and cats, because it can alert us to internal parasites, abnormal organ function, and the onset of an infection. Without routine testing, we would not be able to catch, and treat, these issues as effectively.

Digital X-ray for Dogs and Cats

Pets with acute or chronic illness or injury may need further workups for us to determine the best course of treatment. Our digital radiography equipment allows us to perform a non-invasive internal exam of your pet, which can help us diagnose issues such as:

  • Bone fractures
  • Inflamed joints
  • Tumors
  • Foreign bodies in the abdomen
  • Disease of the heart and lungs
  • Bone deformities

Ultrasonography

Another of our highly-advanced tools is our ultrasound machine, which uses sound waves to provide us with real-time images of the abdominal and thoracic organs. With ultrasound, we can evaluate the organs in better detail, and evaluate their size, shape, and overall appearance.
