Pet In-House Diagnostics
Fast, Accurate Answers for Better Pet Health
When your pet isn’t feeling well, River Road Animal Hospital gets to the cause using our comprehensive veterinary diagnostics right here in our Wasaga Beach clinic. With access to in-house pet blood testing, veterinary radiology, and pet imaging — including animal X-rays, tonometry, and electrocardiography — we deliver fast, accurate answers so your pet can get the care they need without delay.
What Are In-House Diagnostic Services?
Veterinary diagnostic services are essential tools that help us uncover what’s happening beneath the surface. From internal injuries to chronic disease detection, our advanced in-house technology allows us to gather critical information quickly and effectively, typically during the same appointment.
Our diagnostic capabilities include:
Pet Blood Testing
We perform routine and emergency blood tests to assess organ function, detect infections, evaluate hydration levels, and monitor chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease. Results are typically available within minutes.
Veterinary Radiology (X-rays)
Our animal X-rays provide clear internal images of bones, joints, and organs. Whether we’re evaluating a broken bone, screening for tumours, or diagnosing digestive issues, digital radiology allows for precise and immediate insights.
Pet Imaging and Ultrasound
Ultrasound enables us to visualize soft tissues and internal organs in real time, which is ideal for detecting fluid buildup, pregnancy, or abdominal abnormalities.
Tonometry
This non-invasive test measures eye pressure and is critical in diagnosing glaucoma and other eye conditions, especially in aging pets.
Electrocardiography (ECG)
An ECG measures heart activity and helps us diagnose arrhythmias, heart disease, and other cardiovascular issues. It’s a painless and fast way to check your pet’s heart health.
Why Are Veterinary Diagnostics So Important?
Pets can’t tell us when something’s wrong. In fact, many animals instinctively hide signs of illness until it becomes severe. Diagnostic testing allows us to identify health problems early, often before symptoms appear.
Early detection means:
- More treatment options
- Less invasive interventions
- Faster recovery times
- Better long-term outcomes
Neglecting these tools can lead to missed diagnoses and unnecessary suffering. That’s why we make diagnostics a cornerstone of proactive veterinary care.
