Our Diagnostic Services 

With our in-house veterinary diagnostics lab we are pleased to offer advanced diagnostic testing to allow our vets to provide an accurate diagnosis of your pet's medical issues.

• Radiography (Digital X-rays)

  Using a radiograph (also called a digital X-ray), our vet examine your pet's internal structures and systems in order to reveal information that may be otherwise invisible from outside.

  Radiography is safe, painless and non-invasive. It uses only very low doses of radiation. Because the level of radiation exposure required to perform radiography is very low, even pregnant females and very young pets can undergo this procedure. 

  Radiographs can be used to evaluate bones and organs, and diagnose conditions including broken bones, chronic arthritis, bladder stones, spinal cord diseases and some tumors. 

• Ultrasound

  With ultrasound imaging, we expose part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. 

  Because we capture ultrasound images in real-time, we can see the structure and movement of your pet's internal organs, as well as blood flowing through the blood vessels.

  This valuable technology available to us in our lab give us the chance to see your pet's condition as it develops, diagnosing them quickly and providing quality treatments. 

• Urinalysis

  Urinalysis is a key diagnostic test that provides your vet with essential insights into the physical and chemical properties of your pet's urine.

  Urinalysis is generally used to assess the health and well-being of your pet's kidneys and urinary tract. However, it can also be invaluable in detecting issues in other organ systems and can be critical to the diagnosis of diseases like diabetes.

  This is a valuable diagnostic test for both healthy and sick animals and should be included in any comprehensive evaluation of your pet's overall health. 

• Fecal Exams

  A fecal exam is the microscopic examination of your pet's feces, which can be done at our in-house vet lab in White House.

  The ultimate goal of a fecal exam is to identify and treat any GI infections that could be compromising your pet's health and even the health of your family. Fecals allow your vet to determine if your pet has intestinal parasites such as roundworms or hookworms. 

  Parasites are capable of making your pet uncomfortable, irritable and may lead to even more serious conditions. Some of these creatures may even be transmittable to other people and pets living in your home. 

  Since these parasites live in your pet’s gastrointestinal tract, they are often hidden from view. The only way to detect them is with a fecal exam.

  Annual fecal examines should be a vital part of every pet's routine wellness exam.  

• Digital Dental X-rays

  If your cat or dog is suffering periodontal disease, much of this damage occurs below the gum line where it can't be easily seen. Digital dental X-rays help our veterinarians assess your pet's oral health.

  Digital X-rays are safer for your pet. They allow our team of veterinary professionals to examine roots, bones and internal anatomy of your cat or dog's teeth.

  Digital X-rays greatly reduce the risk of harmful radiation exposure for your pet when compared to traditional X-ray technologies. We are able to use this technology to see below the surface of your pet's skin in more detail than ever before, including below their gum line in order to assess the health of each individual tooth.

  This technology allows your White House vet to see results immediately, then project them onto a computer screen to review.
