In-House Diagnostics

Timely Diagnostics for Clear Answers and Confident Care

When a pet isn’t feeling their best, getting answers quickly can make all the difference. Early diagnosis allows treatment to begin sooner and can help prevent minor concerns from becoming more serious. At Beachwood Animal Clinic, we use advanced in-house diagnostic technology to evaluate health concerns, monitor ongoing conditions, and support preventive care—all with speed, accuracy, and compassion.

Because many tests are performed on-site, results are often available the same day. This means less waiting, faster treatment decisions, and quicker peace of mind for you and your pet.

In-House Diagnostic Testing

Our on-site laboratory allows our veterinary team to run many essential tests efficiently, including:

• Complete blood counts and chemistry panels
• Liver and kidney function testing
• Pancreatic evaluations
• Blood gas analysis
• Urinalysis
• Parvovirus testing for dogs
• FeLV/FIV screening for cats
• Pre-anesthetic bloodwork prior to surgery

For more specialized diagnostics, we work with trusted outside laboratories. Results are sent directly to our team, allowing us to review findings promptly and discuss next steps with you.

Digital Radiology (X-Rays)

Digital X-ray technology provides clear, detailed images of your pet’s bones, organs, and soft tissues. Radiographs are commonly used to evaluate injuries, arthritis, swallowed objects, dental issues, and internal changes. In some cases, light sedation may be recommended to keep your pet comfortable and still during imaging. Recovery is typically smooth and quick.

Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound offers a non-invasive, real-time view of internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and intestines. This tool helps identify concerns like masses, fluid accumulation, or blockages that may not be visible on X-rays alone. When used together, ultrasound and radiology provide a more complete understanding of your pet’s condition.

What Makes Our Diagnostic Care Different

At Beachwood Animal Clinic, diagnostics go beyond test results. Our veterinarians carefully interpret each finding and take time to explain what it means in clear, straightforward terms. Our goal is to give you confidence, clarity, and a well-informed treatment plan tailored to your pet.

If your pet is showing signs of illness or needs further evaluation, contact Beachwood Animal Clinic to schedule a diagnostic visit and get the answers you need—without unnecessary delays.
