Diagnostic Testing

At Goosetown Animal Hospital, we are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools that enable us to understand your pet’s health beyond what can be seen during a routine physical examination. Whether your pet is in for a routine check-up or experiencing symptoms of illness or injury, our skilled team is prepared to conduct thorough diagnostic evaluations to ensure timely, accurate, and affordable pet care.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Services

While routine, nose-to-tail examinations provide valuable insights into your pet’s overall health, some conditions require more detailed investigation to detect. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic capabilities are crucial for both preventive health care and for identifying the underlying causes of acute or chronic symptoms.

Routine Screening

Regular diagnostics during wellness visits can help in the early detection of diseases, potentially preventing serious health issues. These screenings include tests for:
• Heartworms
• Intestinal parasites
• Kidney disease
• Liver disease
• Thyroid dysfunction
