Diagnostic and Other Services
Digital Radiographs (X-rays)
Radiographs are used by our veterinarians to examine your pet’s internal organs, bones, or joints, and to visualize any abnormalities. All of our X-rays are digital which provides us with high-quality images that our veterinarians can look at immediately after being taken. All X-rays are then reviewed by a board-certified radiologist.
In-House Laboratory Testing
We have a full-functioning in-house laboratory. We can perform most bloodwork-related tests including chemistry panels, heartworm tests, and specific bloodwork related to Thyroid monitoring, Addison’s disease, Cushing’s disease, and diabetes.
Outside Laboratory Testing
We rely on an external laboratory for a wide range of services, including standard blood and urine tests. Depending on the test, we typically receive results within 48-72 hours. Additionally, the lab performs more complex analyses such as skin scrapings, cultures, biopsies, and other cytological examinations.
