What Are Veterinary Diagnostic Services?

Diagnostics include a range of tools and tests that allow us to examine your pet’s internal health without invasive procedures. These services are essential for:

The Importance of Early Detection

Pets are experts at hiding discomfort, which makes early detection critical. Many conditions — including kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and infections — may not show outward signs until the disease has progressed.

Routine screening and prompt diagnostics help us:

Identify hidden health issues
Start treatment before conditions worsen
Monitor chronic diseases more effectively
Improve your pet’s long-term outcome and quality of life

Whether your pet is showing symptoms or is simply due for a wellness screening, diagnostic testing plays a vital role in preventive care.

Pet Blood Testing: A Key Tool for Pet Health

Bloodwork allows us to assess your pet’s organ function, blood cell counts, and internal systems with just a small sample.

Common reasons for pet blood tests include:

Annual wellness exams
Pre-anesthetic screening
Identifying causes of vomiting, lethargy, or weight loss
Monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease

We offer both in-house and reference lab services to ensure your pet gets fast, reliable results and the highest standard of care.

Diagnostic Imaging Services

Imaging allows us to examine your pet’s internal structures without the need for invasive procedures. At Florence Veterinary Hospital, we offer both digital radiography (X-rays) and ultrasound to diagnose a wide range of conditions quickly and accurately.

Digital X-rays help us evaluate bones, joints, the chest, and abdominal organs with exceptional clarity, while ultrasound imaging provides real-time views of soft tissues such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and bladder.
