Pet Testing & Diagnostics

Early detection using diagnostic testing provides a complete picture of your pet’s health, improving outcomes, and providing baseline results.

As a pet owner, you might recognize when your pet is not feeling well. But it’s difficult to determine why.

Our staff is committed to helping you get a full picture of your pet’s health through laboratory and diagnostic testing.

From preventative screenings to sophisticated diagnostics.

Radiology (X-Rays)

Using radiography, we are able to produce high-quality diagnostic images of your pet’s tissues, organs, and bones. X-rays help us look for arthritis, broken bones, foreign objects, dental issues, enlarged organs, or respiratory dysfunction.

Ultrasound

Using sound waves, ultrasound technology allows us to generate images of your pet’s internal body structures, such as muscles, tendons, joints, internal organs, and blood vessels. Ultrasound images are often ordered alongside x-rays, to get a more complete picture of your pet’s health.

Tonometry

This non-invasive diagnostic test measures the intraocular pressure inside your pet’s eye and is used to test for glaucoma and uveitis. Increased pressure in your pet’s eye can be dangerous and tonometry is an easy way to check the pressure without having to sedate your pet.

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is a continuous series of very low-dose x-ray images that let veterinarians see images of the inside of your pet's body while in motion. Unlike X-rays, wherein your cat or dog usually has to be put under anesthesia in order to keep them still enough to take clear images of their internal structures, fluoroscopy can capture an 'X-ray movie' to watch and replay to diagnose internal conditions that X-rays might miss.

CT Scans

Computerized Tomography (CT) scans for dogs, and cats are computer-enhanced x-ray procedures most often used to evaluate complex body parts, such as the head, chest, some joints, and various internal organs. CT scans show different levels of tissue density and produce more detailed images than x-rays.

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An EKG is a painless test used to diagnose cardiac abnormalities, such as an enlarged heart, heart murmur, congestive heart failure, or irregular heart rhythm. EKGs can also help determine if your pet’s heart is strong enough to undergo anesthesia and is often used as a pre-surgical test.

Endoscopy

An endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure that provides a minimally invasive way to diagnose gastrointestinal (GI) conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and gastrointestinal lymphoma. Using an endoscope, your pet’s doctor can view pictures of your pet’s mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and digestive tract.
