Whether your pet is due for a routine check-up or is showing signs of illness, our diagnostics help us detect issues early, tailor treatment plans, and ensure the best possible outcome for your pet’s health.
Comprehensive Diagnostics for Your Pet’s Health
Laboratory Testing
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide range of tests, including blood tests, urinalysis, and fecal examinations. These tests provide valuable insights into your pet’s overall health, allowing us to detect underlying conditions early and tailor treatment plans accordingly.
Digital X-rays
Digital radiography is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows us to examine your pet’s internal organs and bones with exceptional detail. From detecting fractures to evaluating organ size and shape, digital X-rays help us get a clearer picture of your pet’s health.
EKG (Electrocardiography)
An EKG measures the electrical activity of your pet’s heart, helping us assess heart rhythm and detect abnormalities. This non-invasive test is essential for diagnosing heart conditions and guiding treatment decisions.
PennHIP Evaluations
PennHIP evaluations are a specialized method for assessing hip joint laxity in dogs. This early screening tool helps identify dogs at risk of developing hip dysplasia, allowing for preventive measures to be taken.
Eye Pressure Testing
Monitoring eye pressure is crucial for detecting glaucoma, a serious eye condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated. Our eye pressure testing ensures early detection and prompt treatment for your pet’s eye health.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
High blood pressure (hypertension) can be a silent but dangerous condition in pets, especially older cats and dogs. Regular blood pressure monitoring helps us identify and manage this condition to prevent complications.
OFA X-rays
Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) X-rays are specialized radiographs used to evaluate joint health, particularly in breeding dogs. These X-rays assess for conditions like hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, providing valuable information for breeding programs.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging allows for non-invasive visualization of your pet’s internal organs. It helps us evaluate organ size, detect abnormalities, and guide procedures such as biopsies.
When to Consider Pet Diagnostics
- Annual Wellness Exams: Regular diagnostics, part of your pet’s annual wellness exam, can detect early signs of illness.
- Symptoms of Illness: If your pet is exhibiting symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in behavior, diagnostics can help uncover the underlying cause.
- Pre-Surgical Screening: Before undergoing surgery, diagnostics ensure your pet is healthy and prepared for the procedure.
- Senior Pet Care: As pets age, regular diagnostics become more important for early detection of age-related conditions.
