A thorough history and physical exam are the first steps in accessing the health status of your pet or livestock. However, diagnostic testing is often needed to confirm a diagnosis and initiate an effective treatment plan. We also use diagnostic tests to monitor disease progression and/or response to treatment over time. We offer a wide range of in-house diagnostic tests with quick and accurate results, including:

​

• Fecal exams (to check for intestinal parasites/worms) 

• Urinalysis (to check for infections or crystal formation in the bladder)

• Heartworm testing

• Parvovirus testing

• Feline Leukemia and FIV testing

• Ear and skin cytology (to check for bacterial and yeast infections)

• Dermatophytosis/Ringworm testing

• Complete Blood Cell Counts (to check for signs of anemia, infection, etc)

• Blood Chemistry and Blood Electrolyte Levels (important in evaluating liver and kidney function. etc)

• Digital Radiography (can be used to evaluate the lungs and heart, the musculoskeletal system, abdominal organs, etc)

• Ultrasound (both large and small animal compatible, can be used to confirm pregnancy, evaluate abdominal organs, etc)

​

For conditions requiring more specialized testing, we can send blood and tissue sample to outside labs for evaluation (thyroid testing, Cushings testing, cancer screening, etc) and/or refer patients to a veterinary specialty center (to get a CT scan, MRI, echocardiogram, etc).
