Pet Laboratory Diagnostics in Arlington, TX
Accurate diagnosis is an essential part of veterinary medicine. At Sanford Oaks Animal Clinic, we provide comprehensive pet diagnostics in Arlington, TX to help identify health concerns and guide treatment. Our diagnostic capabilities include in-house laboratory testing, digital radiography, dental X-rays, and ultrasound imaging—all available under one roof for faster results and timely care.
In-House Laboratory Testing for Rapid Results
Our on-site laboratory allows us to perform many essential tests during your pet’s visit. This service is especially important for pets experiencing sudden or severe symptoms, as it enables our team to gather results within minutes. With prompt information, we can begin treatment without unnecessary delays.
In-house diagnostics may be used to check for:
- Blood cell abnormalities
- Liver and kidney disease
- Electrolyte imbalances
- Infections and inflammation
- Blood glucose irregularities
- Urinary tract issues
For wellness exams or routine screenings, we may send samples to a trusted external laboratory for more comprehensive analysis. These results help us monitor your pet’s baseline health and identify early signs of disease, even in pets who appear outwardly healthy.
Digital Radiography and Dental X-Rays
Digital radiography is a valuable diagnostic tool that allows us to examine your pet’s bones, joints, and internal organs with clarity and efficiency. Our digital X-ray equipment produces high-resolution images with less exposure time, making the process safer and more comfortable for your pet.
We use radiographs to evaluate:
- Bone fractures and joint disorders
- Changes in heart or lung structure
- Gastrointestinal obstructions
- Signs of cancer, including tumors or abnormal masses
- Foreign body detection
Dental X-rays are also available to assess issues below the gumline, such as root infections, bone loss, or fractured teeth. These images support more accurate treatment planning and help prevent dental problems from progressing unnoticed.
Ultrasound Imaging for Soft Tissue Evaluation
Ultrasound provides real-time imaging of soft tissue structures and is especially useful for examining the abdomen and cardiovascular system. Unlike X-rays, which provide static images, ultrasound creates dynamic footage, allowing us to observe organ movement and blood flow.
Ultrasound may be used to:
- Evaluate liver, spleen, bladder, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract
- Monitor pregnancies
- Detect fluid accumulation or cysts
- Identify tumors or internal growths
- Guide needle biopsies with precision
This non-invasive diagnostic method supports thorough internal assessments without the need for surgical intervention.
Why Pet Diagnostics Matter
Early detection is key to managing many health conditions in pets. With timely diagnostic services, we can begin treatment sooner, monitor changes more accurately, and support better outcomes. Whether your pet is here for an annual checkup or showing signs of illness, our diagnostic tools help us deliver informed, effective care.
