Diagnostic services may include blood work, urinalysis, fecal testing, heartworm testing, cytology, digital radiography (X-rays), ultrasound, parasite screening, infectious disease testing, and other laboratory evaluations.

Bloodwork in our pets can be a valuable tool to diagnose illness, as well as monitor health. Bloodwork evaluates any possible inflammation/infection, kidney or liver issues, blood sugar and electrolytes, proteins and many other specific markers of health in our pets. CONTACT us today to discuss bloodwork options for your dog or cat.

Heart murmurs in dogs can be quite common, especially in older small breed dogs. Heart murmurs can be caused from a variety of structural changes in the heart, including degeneration of the valves. A veterinarian will often recommend an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound of the heart, to investigate the cause of a heart murmur. While a heart murmur can be an early sign of heart disease or heart failure in dogs, plenty of dogs (just like people) may have a heart murmur and live completely normal and healthy lives. If your dog has a heart murmur, reach out to our vets to discuss your pet’s individual situation and decide on a plan to keep your pet healthy.

A urinalysis evaluates your pet's urine and can help diagnose urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, bladder stones, and other medical conditions affecting the urinary system.

Digital radiographs (X-rays) allow veterinarians to evaluate bones, joints, the chest, abdomen, and other internal structures. X-rays can help diagnose fractures, arthritis, heart disease, foreign objects, tumors, and many other conditions.

Ultrasound can assist in diagnosing tumors, organ abnormalities, fluid accumulation, bladder stones, gastrointestinal disease, pregnancy, and many other medical conditions.
