In-House Diagnostics

Clearer Answers for Better Care

When your pet isn’t feeling well, a physical examination is an important first step—but sometimes we need to look a little deeper. At East & West Animal Hospital, our modern diagnostic capabilities help us gather the information we need to better understand your pet’s health and create an appropriate treatment plan.

In-House Lab Testing

Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many common diagnostic tests quickly, including blood work, basic cytology, urinalysis, and parasite examinations. Having access to on-site testing can help us get answers sooner, whether we’re investigating an illness, monitoring an ongoing condition, establishing baseline values, or preparing your pet for surgery.

When your pet needs more specialized testing, we also work with trusted outside laboratories for diagnostics such as comprehensive thyroid and hormone panels, tick-borne disease testing, biopsies, and other advanced testing.

Digital Radiology

Digital X-rays give our veterinary team a detailed look inside your pet’s body and can be an important tool for evaluating injuries, bones and joints, internal organs, pregnancy, and other health concerns. Because digital images are available quickly and can be enhanced for closer evaluation, they can help us make informed diagnostic and treatment decisions efficiently.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of structures inside the body. This non-invasive technology can help us evaluate organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and bladder, as well as the reproductive system and other soft tissues.

Ultrasound may be useful when evaluating concerns such as heart disease, liver or kidney conditions, pancreatitis, bladder stones, masses, and pregnancy.
