Our Diagnostic Services
At Acres Veterinary Clinic, our approach to diagnostics is thorough, collaborative, and rooted in a deep commitment to your pet’s well-being. Our diagnostic services include:
In-House and Reference Lab Testing
We offer a wide range of laboratory tests for both routine screening and illness detection, including:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Chemistry Panels
- Urinalysis
- Cytology (including fine needle aspirates for skin and ear conditions)
- Culture & Sensitivity Testing
- Histopathology for Masses and Tumors
- Endocrine Testing (e.g., thyroid, adrenal panels)
- Specialized diagnostic panels, processed through trusted reference labs
Our in-house lab allows us to deliver fast results when your pet needs answers urgently, while our partnership with outside labs enables us to offer advanced and highly specialized testing.
Veterinary Ultrasound
We use ultrasound imaging to get a real-time look inside your pet’s body, particularly the abdomen and chest. Our ultrasound services include:
- AFAST and TFAST scans for emergency cases
- Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) for rapid assessments
- Tumor and mass evaluations
- Bladder stone and urinary tract evaluations
- Guided fine needle aspirates of internal organs
For complex imaging needs, we can arrange mobile ultrasound consultations with board-certified specialists, bringing advanced care directly to our clinic.
Digital Radiography
Our digital X-ray system captures high-resolution images of your pet’s bones, joints, chest, and abdomen, helping us identify:
- Fractures and injuries
- Heart and lung abnormalities
- Gastrointestinal blockages or foreign bodies
- Bladder stones and tumors
Digital radiographs are quick, safe, and provide immediate results that we can share with you during your visit.
Why Veterinary Diagnostics Matter
Early and accurate diagnosis is key to providing the right treatment at the right time. Many conditions—from internal organ disease to infections, endocrine disorders, and cancer—show subtle or no signs until they’ve progressed. Diagnostics help us detect these issues early, guide our treatment plans, and track progress over time.
Neglecting diagnostics can lead to delayed treatment, worsening symptoms, and more invasive (and costly) care down the road. Our goal is to minimize uncertainty, maximize comfort, and ensure your pet receives the most informed care possible.
The Benefits of Veterinary Diagnostics
✓ Faster diagnoses and timely treatment
✓ Early detection of chronic disease
✓ Minimally invasive testing options
✓ Peace of mind for pet owners
✓ Collaborative, transparent care conversations
Whether your pet is coming in for a routine exam or presenting with sudden symptoms, our diagnostic tools help us give them the best chance at recovery and long-term wellness.
