Pet Diagnostic Services We Offer
When your pet is sick or injured, a thorough physical exam and a detailed history of the symptoms you’ve noted at home are crucial first steps. If the diagnosis isn’t immediately clear, our veterinarian may recommend specific diagnostic tests, which can include:
Veterinary Lab Testing
Blood and/or urine samples can be collected for baseline blood counts, organ function tests, and infectious disease screenings. Point-of-care tests provide results on-site, while some samples may need to be sent to reference labs if urgent results aren't needed.
X-Ray & Ultrasound Imaging
X-rays and ultrasounds help diagnose various conditions, including gastrointestinal obstructions, tumors, fluid accumulation, urinary stones, and bone/joint disorders. While gentle restraint is often sufficient, sedation may be required for some procedures.
Microscopy
Useful for evaluating ear swabs, skin impressions, scrapes, and tumor biopsies, these tests assist in diagnosing dermatologic and otic (ear) conditions.
Ocular Evaluations
Tests such as the Schirmer Tear Test for tear production, fluorescein staining for corneal injuries, and tonometry for intraocular pressure can be vital for diagnosing eye conditions.
Diagnostic testing is essential for developing an effective treatment plan, allowing our veterinarian to target the underlying issues and evaluate treatment success probabilities. We’ll explain the purpose of each diagnostic test and help prioritize which may be most beneficial for your pet’s specific situation.
