Pet Diagnostics

Early detection and precise diagnosis are key to effective treatment. Cypress St Animal Hospital provides advanced diagnostic services, including geriatric panels, radiology, tonometry, endocrinology, and ultrasonography. Our in-house lab conducts tests like urinalysis, biochemistry, clotting factor diagnosis, and lactate testing. We also offer microchip evaluation for ear mites and specialized snap testing for quick and reliable results.

Geriatric Panels

At Cypress St Animal Hospital, we provide geriatric panels to assess the health of aging pets. These tests help detect early signs of organ dysfunction, arthritis, and metabolic disorders. By monitoring key health indicators, we create tailored care plans to ensure senior pets maintain their comfort, mobility, and overall well-being as they age.

Skin Scraping

Skin issues can affect a pet’s health and comfort. Cypress St Animal Hospital performs skin scraping to diagnose parasites, bacterial infections, and fungal conditions. This procedure helps identify underlying dermatological issues, allowing for targeted treatments that alleviate discomfort, reduce itching, and improve skin and coat health for a happier, healthier pet.

Radiology

Cypress St Animal Hospital offers radiology services to examine bones, joints, and internal organs. X-rays help detect fractures, tumors, foreign objects, and respiratory issues. Our imaging services assist in diagnosing conditions that may not be visible externally, ensuring pets receive appropriate treatment for injuries, illnesses, or congenital abnormalities.

Tonometry

Eye health is essential for pets. At Cypress St Animal Hospital, we use tonometry to measure intraocular pressure and detect glaucoma or other ocular conditions. Early diagnosis allows for effective treatment, helping to prevent vision loss and discomfort. Regular eye exams ensure pets maintain good eyesight and overall eye health.

Ultrasonography

At Cypress St Animal Hospital, we offer ultrasonography to assess internal organs, diagnose pregnancies, and detect abnormalities in the heart, liver, kidneys, and abdomen. This imaging technique provides detailed, real-time visuals that help veterinarians evaluate internal health conditions, guiding appropriate treatment and monitoring of chronic diseases.

Endocrinology

Hormonal imbalances can lead to serious health issues in pets. Cypress St Animal Hospital provides endocrinology testing to diagnose conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and adrenal diseases. Identifying these imbalances early allows for effective management, ensuring pets maintain stable hormone levels and a good quality of life.

Progesterone Testing

For breeding purposes, Cypress St Animal Hospital offers progesterone testing to determine the optimal timing for mating. Accurate hormone level monitoring helps improve breeding success and ensures the health of both the mother and future litter. Our team provides guidance throughout the process to support responsible breeding practices.

Urinalysis

Urinary health is essential for a pet’s well-being. Cypress St Animal Hospital conducts urinalysis to detect infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. This test helps veterinarians diagnose conditions early, allowing for timely treatment that improves overall kidney and bladder health.

Biochemistry

At Cypress St Animal Hospital, our biochemistry tests evaluate organ function, including liver and kidney health. These tests provide insight into metabolic conditions and help diagnose illnesses that may not present obvious symptoms. Routine biochemistry screenings contribute to early disease detection and long-term pet wellness.

Clotting Factor Diagnosis

Blood clotting disorders can pose serious risks to pets. Cypress St Animal Hospital offers clotting factor diagnosis to assess blood clotting ability and detect conditions such as hemophilia or vitamin K deficiencies. Early detection ensures pets receive appropriate treatment to prevent excessive bleeding and related complications.

Microchip Evaluation for Ear Mites

At Cypress St Animal Hospital, we use microchip evaluation to detect ear mites, which can cause itching, infections, and discomfort. This diagnostic tool helps identify infestations quickly, allowing for effective treatment that relieves symptoms and prevents complications like secondary infections or ear damage.

Lactate Testing

Cypress St Animal Hospital provides lactate testing to assess oxygen levels in a pet’s bloodstream. This test helps evaluate conditions such as shock, respiratory distress, or organ failure. By monitoring lactate levels, veterinarians can determine a pet’s overall stability and make informed treatment decisions.
