In-Clinic Diagnostics

Center Veterinary Hospital’s in-house diagnostics laboratory and digital radiography capabilities provide pet owners with an efficient diagnosing process for their pets. We can process many test results on site, typically within 10 to 30 minutes. This is especially beneficial for critical illness and injury cases that need prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Our in-house diagnostic capabilities enable us to perform a variety of tests that help identify your pet’s condition quickly and accurately. Some of the tests that we conduct include 4Dx that tests for heartworm disease and 3 common tick-borne diseases such as Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma. We perform Feline Combo testing (FeLV, FIV, and Feline Heartworm disease), Snap CPL for pancreatitis, urinalysis and fecal centrifugation, ear and aspiration cytology, CBC (complete blood count), chemistry, electrolytes, liver, and kidney panels, as well as digital radiographs.

Some health conditions may not be obvious during an external examination. For this reason, we recommend blood work at your pet’s annual check-up to provide a consistent record of your pet’s health history. Should any significant changes show up in the test results, we would be able to identify potential health issues before they become a major issue. We also conduct blood work screenings for pets who are scheduled for surgery to ensure there are no underlying issues that may result in complications.
