In-house lab work

We have a fully equipped laboratory on-site, which allows us to perform a variety of tests quickly and accurately. This includes complete blood counts (CBCs), chemistries to check organ function, and urinalysis. We also work closely with larger outside laboratories for more specialized testing, when needed.

Radiographs (X-rays)

Radiographs are a valuable tool for diagnosing a variety of conditions, including fractures, foreign bodies, and tumors. We use digital X-ray technology, which provides us with high-quality images that help us to make accurate diagnoses. Our highly trained veterinarians read your pet’s radiograph during the appointment but also rely on AI (artificial intelligence) technology for a second look to make sure we are not missing any important details. We also partner with board-certified radiologists to review radiographs for more complicated cases.

Dental Radiographs (X-rays)

Dental X-rays are essential for evaluating the health of your pet's oral cavity. They can help us to detect problems below the gumline such as periodontal disease, feline resorptive lesions, tooth root abscesses, tumors and more. This allows us to effectively treat any painful oral disease your pet may be experiencing.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions, including heart disease, kidney disease, and tumors. Our in-clinic ultrasound is used most often to obtain urine samples, to assess for pregnancy or diagnose tumors. We also work with a local board-certified radiologist for more extensive ultrasounds of the abdomen, if warranted.

Cytology

Cytology is used to examine cells under the microscope. We most often use this to diagnose ear and skin infections and sometimes tumors or cancer. Often a diagnosis can be made in the clinic but some samples need to be sent to an outside lab for a board-certified pathologist to make the diagnosis.
