At Greenland Veterinary Hospital, we understand that accurate diagnostics are essential for ensuring your pet’s health and well-being. While an annual wellness exam is often the first step in diagnosing health concerns, there are times when advanced diagnostic tools—such as digital X-rays, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory testing—are necessary to get a more detailed picture of your pet’s condition.
Our goal is to provide fast, reliable answers, ensuring your pet receives the treatment they need without delay. If you're noticing symptoms or have questions about your pet’s well-being, you can count on us to get to the heart of the issue.
In-House Laboratory Tests for Pets
With our fully equipped in-house laboratory, we’re able to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests with fast turnaround times. This means we can provide results in as little as 20 minutes, allowing us to start treatment quickly and efficiently. Whether it’s blood work, urinalysis, or a fecal test, we’re ready to get to the bottom of your pet’s condition.
Our in-house lab tests include:
- Comprehensive blood work (complete blood counts, chemistry panels, thyroid levels, and more)
- Urinalysis to check for kidney function, infections, and diabetes
- Fecal testing to identify intestinal parasites
- Cytology and microscopy for evaluating skin conditions, ear infections, and abnormal growths
Advanced Digital X-Rays for Cats & Dogs
Digital radiography (X-rays) is a powerful, noninvasive diagnostic tool that allows us to examine your pet’s bones and internal organs. Just like human medicine, X-rays give us a clear view of your pet’s body, helping us detect problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. Unlike traditional X-rays, digital images are instantly available, much sharper, and able to be adjusted, allowing us to gain immediate insights into your pet’s health.
Digital X-rays are essential for detecting:
- Bone fractures and injuries
- Joint damage and disease
- Foreign objects that may have been swallowed
- Bladder and kidney stones
- Certain spinal conditions
Additionally, digital X-rays can be easily shared with specialists for a second opinion, ensuring your pet gets the best possible care.
High-Definition Ultrasound for Pets
Take your pet’s diagnostics to the next level with our ultrasound technology. Ultrasound uses sound waves to produce clear, real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This noninvasive method allows us to examine the function of their organs and detect any potential abnormalities—often revealing issues that can’t be seen through X-rays alone.
With ultrasound, we can quickly identify:
- Tumors, cysts, and abnormal growths
- Bladder stones
- Kidney or liver disease
- Chronic inflammation or fluid buildup
- Pregnancy
When it comes to your pet’s health, speed and accuracy matter. If you’re concerned about your pet’s well-being or need diagnostic testing, don’t wait—contact us today to schedule an appointment.
