When your pet isn’t feeling well, diagnostic testing can help us get a clearer picture of what may be going on. At Village Veterinary Hospital, we offer a variety of in-house diagnostic services, allowing our veterinary team to gather important information quickly and determine the best next steps for your pet’s care.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many routine screenings right here at the hospital, often providing results within 30 minutes.
Our in-house testing capabilities include:
- Complete blood work: Chemistry panels, complete blood counts (CBC), heartworm testing, feline leukemia (FeLV) and FIV testing, specific pancreatic and kidney testing, and glucose monitoring for diabetes
- Fecal screening: Testing for parvovirus, intestinal parasites, and certain bacterial infections
- Urine testing
- Cytology: Microscopic examination of samples collected from skin or ear infections, growths or tumors, or collected fluids
Diagnostic Imaging
In addition to laboratory testing, Village Veterinary Hospital offers diagnostic imaging to help our veterinarians evaluate what may be happening inside your pet’s body.
Digital X-rays allow us to examine bones, joints, and internal structures and can be helpful when evaluating injuries, orthopedic concerns, and certain conditions affecting the chest or abdomen.
Ultrasound provides real-time images of internal organs and soft tissues, giving our veterinarians another valuable tool for investigating health concerns and gathering additional information when a physical examination or laboratory testing alone may not provide the full picture.
By having access to laboratory testing, X-rays, and ultrasound, our veterinary team can use multiple diagnostic tools to better understand your pet’s health and recommend appropriate care.
