Diagnostic

These are just a few tests we do, please contact us for any other inquiries.

Cytology tests are essential diagnostic tools in veterinary medicine, used to examine individual cells from various body sites to diagnose conditions such as infections, inflammations, and cancers. Common applications include skin cytology to identify infections or tumors, ear cytology to detect ear infections, and fine-needle aspirates to evaluate lumps or masses. These tests are minimally invasive, providing rapid and accurate results to guide effective treatment plans for your pet.

Ultrasound is a versatile and non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to create detailed images of your pet's internal structures using high-frequency sound waves. This is essential for diagnosing a wide range of conditions, including abdominal issues, heart diseases, and reproductive problems.

One application of ultrasound is ultrasound-guided cystocentesis. This procedure involves using ultrasound to guide a needle into the urinary bladder to collect a sterile urine sample. It is particularly useful for diagnosing urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and other urinary conditions. Ultrasound-guided cystocentesis is minimally invasive and provides a more accurate and sterile sample compared to other methods.

X-rays are a vital diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine, allowing us to visualize the internal structures of your pet's body.

This non-invasive imaging technique helps us diagnose a wide range of conditions, from bone fractures and joint issues to internal organ abnormalities and foreign objects. By providing detailed images of your pet's skeletal system, chest, abdomen, and other areas, X-rays enable us to make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans.

Our clinic uses X-ray to capture high-quality images while minimizing exposure to radiation, ensuring the safety and well-being of your pet.

In addition to our in-house diagnostic capabilities, we work with external laboratories such as AVD (Asia Veterinary Diagnostics) and IDEXX for comprehensive testing services which is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

AVD and IDEXX offer services including comprehensive blood panels, endocrine testing and serum allergy testing, as well as infectious disease panels and histopathology for tissue samples.

Blood typing and cross-matching are critical procedures in veterinary medicine, especially when your pet requires a blood transfusion. These tests ensure that your pet receives compatible blood, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions and improving the success of the transfusion.

Blood typing determines your pet's blood type, which is essential for identifying suitable donors and is crucial in emergency situations and planned surgeries where a transfusion might be necessary.

Cross-matching involves mixing a sample of your pet's blood with a sample from a potential donor to check for compatibility, helping to detect any incompatibilities that might not be evident through blood typing alone. This ensures the safety and effectiveness of the transfusion.

Our clinic is equipped to perform both blood typing and cross-matching, providing peace of mind that your pet will receive the best possible care during a transfusion. Whether it's for an emergency or a planned procedure, these tests are vital for the health and safety of your pet.

Dental X-rays are a vital component of comprehensive veterinary dental care, allowing us to see beneath the surface of your pet's teeth and gums.

At our clinic, we use digital dental radiography to diagnose and treat a variety of oral health issues that are not visible during a regular dental examination. This includes detecting tooth fractures, periodontal disease, infections, and other abnormalities.

Digital dental X-rays provide high-resolution images with minimal radiation exposure, ensuring your pet's safety while delivering precise diagnostic information.

Regular dental check-ups, including X-rays, are essential for maintaining your pet's oral health and preventing more serious conditions.

Monitoring your pet's blood pressure is an important aspect of their overall health care. Just like in humans, high or low blood pressure in pets can indicate underlying health issues that need to be addressed. Our clinic offers blood pressure check services to help detect and manage these conditions early.

Regular blood pressure checks are crucial for pets with certain health conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, and endocrine disorders. During the check, we use non-invasive methods to measure your pet's blood pressure accurately and comfortably. This allows us to monitor their cardiovascular health and make informed decisions about their treatment and care.

If your pet is diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure) or hypotension (low blood pressure), we will work with you to manage their condition effectively.

Ensuring your pet's eye health is crucial for their overall well-being. Our clinic offers specialized eye tests to diagnose and manage various ocular conditions, helping to maintain your pet's vision and comfort.

Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Measurement with Tono-vet: This test measures the pressure inside your pet's eyes using a Tono-Pen, a handheld device that provides quick and accurate readings. Monitoring IOP is essential for detecting and managing glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

Fluorescein Eye Stain: This test involves applying a special dye to your pet's eye to highlight any corneal ulcers, scratches, or other surface abnormalities. The dye makes these issues visible under a blue light, allowing for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Fecal tests are essential for diagnosing gastrointestinal issues and detecting parasites in your pet. Our clinic offers fecal testing to ensure your pet's digestive health is in top condition.

The Fecal Float test involves mixing a small sample of your pet's feces with a special solution that causes parasite eggs to float to the surface, which is then examined under a microscope to identify intestinal parasites.

Additionally, the Fecal Smear test spreads a thin layer of feces on a microscope slide to examine for the presence of parasites, bacteria, and other microorganisms, helping diagnose infections and other gastrointestinal issues.

Regular fecal testing is crucial for maintaining your pet's health and preventing the spread of parasites.

We offer a range of in-house tests using advanced equipment like the ProCyte One Hematology Analyzer, IDEXX Catalyst One Chemistry Analyzer, and Vcheck Machine, delivering quick, reliable insights into your pet’s health.

Our diagnostic services include:

FeLV/FIV Combo Test for feline viruses
4DX Test for heartworm and tick-borne diseases in dogs
fPLI & cPLI for pancreatitis diagnosis
VacciCheck to assess immunity levels
CBC & Blood Chemistry Panels for overall health and pre-anesthetic checks

These tools allow us to diagnose conditions swiftly and begin treatment without delay, keeping your pet’s care timely and efficient.
