In-House Diagnostics

Advanced Diagnostic for Accurate Treatment

When your pet is ill, the use of advanced imaging can be a lifesaver! Our hospital utilizes digital X-ray and ultrasound to obtain the right diagnosis quickly, allowing us to begin treatment without delay. Our radiology capabilities also include dental X-ray, which is essential for detecting hidden oral issues beneath the gumline.

Prescreening for Heritable Diseases

In addition to diagnosing illness, we can use radiology to prescreen animals for heritable conditions such as hip dysplasia or heart disease. Early detection of these issues can guide breeding decisions and help pet owners make proactive health plans. Our office is proud to be PennHIP and OFA certified, ensuring that your pet’s screening meets the highest veterinary standards.

Laboratory Testing

Testing your pet’s blood is one of the best ways to assess overall health and monitor organ function. We recommend annual routine bloodwork to help identify “silent diseases” — such as thyroid disorders or kidney disease — before symptoms appear.

Bloodwork for Sick Pets

In addition to preventive screening, we use blood tests in sick animals to diagnose and treat conditions quickly. Fast results mean faster care and a better chance at recovery.

Pre-Anesthetic Testing

Before surgery, bloodwork is a key safety measure. These tests help us determine whether your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and identify any hidden risks. Your pet’s safety is always our top priority, and we never cut corners when it comes to surgical preparation.
