Advanced Diagnostic Care
When something feels off with your pet, getting answers quickly matters. At West Niagara Animal Hospital, our diagnostic and imaging services help us identify concerns early and develop effective treatment plans.
Our Capabilities
Diagnostic Tools Designed for Early Detection
Our in-house diagnostic services allow us to evaluate your pet’s health efficiently, often during the same visit. This means fewer delays, less stress, and faster next steps.
In-House Laboratory Testing
We perform bloodwork, urinalysis, and other lab tests on-site to assess organ function, detect infections, and monitor ongoing conditions.
Ultrasound Imaging
Point-of-Care Ultrasound is available in clinic for sterile urine collection, pregnancy diagnosis and FAST scans in urgent cases. Comprehensive ultrasounds are available by appointment. Ultrasound can help support the diagnosis of internal conditions without invasive procedures.
Digital X-Rays
Radiographs help us evaluate bones, joints, lungs, and abdominal organs. Digital imaging provides clear results quickly while minimizing discomfort. Board-Certified Veterinary Radiologists can be consulted when needed.
Diagnostic & Imaging FAQs
Here are answers to some common questions about diagnostic care at West Niagara Animal Hospital.
Why does my pet need diagnostic testing?
Diagnostics help us identify the underlying cause of illness or discomfort, allowing for targeted treatment instead of guesswork.
Will results be available the same day?
Many in-house tests provide same-day results. Some specialized tests may take longer, and we’ll always keep you informed.
Will my pet need sedation?
Sedation may be recommended for your pet’s comfort or safety, and to ensure the best diagnostic imaging quality. This will be discussed with you beforehand by our veterinary team.
