Veterinary In-House Laboratory

Our on-site ABAXXIS laboratory allows us to perform many essential diagnostic tests with quick turnaround times, helping us diagnose and treat your pet without unnecessary delays.

Our in-house testing capabilities include:

  • Infectious disease screening to diagnose heartworm disease, FIV, feline leukemia, Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and parvovirus.
  • Organ function and metabolic testing to evaluate liver, kidney, and overall organ health.
  • Complete blood count (CBC) to detect infections, anemia, and immune conditions.
  • Electrolyte levels and clotting times, which are important for pets undergoing surgery or experiencing medical distress.
  • Skin and cytology testing to diagnose infections, allergies, and abnormal cell growth.

For specialized tests such as biopsies, cultures, fecals, and urinalysis, we partner with a trusted in-state laboratory that provides fast and reliable results. In emergency cases, we can expedite lab work to ensure timely treatment.

Pet Digital X-Rays

Our digital X-ray technology offers a safer, faster, and more detailed look inside your pet’s body compared to traditional film X-rays. We use digital X-rays to assess a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Bone injuries and abnormalities, such as fractures, joint issues, and hereditary orthopedic conditions
  • Soft tissue issues, such as heart size and shape changes, lung disease, and bladder issues
  • Internal diseases like constipation, fluid buildup, and signs of organ dysfunction

While some issues, like spinal disc disease or soft tissue masses, may require additional imaging, X-rays provide a critical first step in diagnosing many conditions.

Pet Ultrasound

Ultrasound technology allows us to see inside your pet’s body in real-time, providing more detailed imaging than X-rays alone. It helps us examine:

  • The chest cavity and heart for abnormalities or fluid buildup
  • The abdomen for organ function, tumors, or blockages
  • Blood flow and movement within organs to detect potential issues

Unlike X-rays, which provide a stacked image of overlapping structures, ultrasound allows us to focus on individual organs without interference, giving us a more precise diagnosis.
