In-House Laboratory Testing for Cats & Dogs

Our in-house lab is built for speed and accuracy—giving our veterinarians real-time insights that guide better, faster care. Whether it’s a subtle shift in kidney values or a sudden drop in blood pressure, we don’t wait for outside labs to make critical decisions.

Common diagnostic lab tests we perform include:

Same-day results

Get blood work results within minutes, often during your pet’s visit.

Complete blood count (CBC)

Checks for infection, anemia, inflammation, or immune conditions.

Blood chemistry panels

Assesses kidney, liver, and metabolic function, electrolytes, and glucose levels.

Urinalysis

Evaluates hydration, kidney health, urinary tract infections, and more.

Cytology

Microscopic evaluation of cells from masses, fluids, or aspirates to help diagnose tumors, infections, or inflammation.

Clotting profiles

Essential for surgical planning or assessing trauma cases.

Snap tests

Rapid in-house testing for conditions like parvovirus, pancreatitis, feline leukemia/FIV, and heartworm disease.

These tools allow us to make decisions on the spot, monitor critical patients in real time, and pivot quickly when something changes.

Diagnostic Imaging for Frisco Pets

Our soft tissue surgery expertise includes advanced procedures for the lungs, heart, liver, bladder, and more. These surgeries help pets with conditions ranging from congenital defects to chronic diseases. Some of the most common soft tissue surgeries we perform include:

Digital radiography (X-rays)

Digital X-rays provide fast, high-resolution images with lower radiation exposure—ideal for everything from broken bones to heart enlargement to intestinal blockages.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound offers noninvasive, real-time imaging of the abdomen, heart (echocardiography), and other soft tissues.

High-speed 128-slice CT scanner

This state-of-the-art CT scans your pet in under 10 seconds, delivering crystal-clear, cross-sectional images of bones, soft tissue, and internal organs. CT scans are important for surgical planning, trauma evaluation, and cancer diagnostics.

Minimally Invasive Imaging & Scopes for Pets

Some problems can’t be diagnosed with imaging alone—so we go a step further with minimally invasive scoping techniques that offer a closer look without the need for large surgical openings. With various scopes, we’re able to conduct:

  • Arthroscopy
  • Thoracoscopy
  • Laparoscopy
  • Bronchoscopy
  • Cystoscopy
  • Rhinoscopy
  • Colonoscopy

And, with three different fluoroscopy systems in-house, we can also guide delicate procedures in real time—such as tracheal stenting, catheter placements, and foreign body retrieval.
