Diagnostics 

Blood work provides an in-depth look at your pet’s internal functions and is an essential diagnostic tool for a variety of situations. Our state-of-the-art analyzers allow us to perform standard blood testing on-site. This allows for quick and accurate results so we can begin treatment or approve pets for anesthesia without delay. Blood work may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including routine health assessments, pre-anesthetic evaluation, therapeutic monitoring, and illness or emergency.

Some specialized tests require precise equipment and expertise only a reference laboratory can provide. Our partnership with top-tier veterinary reference labs ensures advanced testing, assessment, and specialist review are always within reach. When needed, our veterinarians consult with pathologists and internal medicine specialists for expert insights and treatment recommendations.

Digital radiography (X-ray) provides nearly instantaneous high-resolution images of your pet’s anatomy with great clarity and detail. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-rays are instantly available for review and sharing. This allows our team to send your pet’s electronic images to a veterinary radiologist for rapid, expert interpretation. X-rays help identify fractures, airway conditions, bone and joint issues, certain tumors, and select soft tissue abnormalities.

Ultrasound uses painless sound waves to generate a real-time dynamic image of your pet’s soft tissues, including musculoskeletal structures, abdominal organs, and the heart. Several of our veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) have attained advanced ultrasonography training, allowing us to immediately assess numerous conditions. Our skilled RVTs also assist with ultrasound imaging procedures by ensuring patient safety and comfort throughout the process. Ultrasound is non-invasive, meaning we can often examine pets without surgery, sedation, or unnecessary stress. This is especially useful for emergencies and pets who can’t handle anesthesia. In addition to visual assessment, we can also perform ultrasound-guided procedures, such as sterile urine collection, which requires no sedation, and biopsies, which may require sedation or anesthesia for your pet’s comfort and safety. For complex cases, ultrasound images can be forwarded to a veterinary radiologist for comprehensive review and analysis.

Endoscopy provides a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for pets with conditions affecting the respiratory, digestive, or urinary tract. Using a small camera on a flexible tube, veterinarians can view the pet’s internal anatomy in real-time to diagnose conditions, collect images or videos, and perform biopsy or foreign body removal. To ensure patient comfort, safety, and stillness, pets are sedated or placed under general anesthesia for endoscopic procedures.
