Pet Diagnostics Services

Northern Liberties Veterinary Center is equipped with the best diagnostic technology that veterinary medicine offers.

Advanced diagnostic services are especially important in veterinary practice because your animal is not able to tell us where it hurts or how he or she feels. Veterinarians rely on various diagnostic procedures and lab tests to gain a complete picture of your pet’s health.

Blood AnalyzerDuring your pet’s annual exam at Northern Liberties Veterinary Center, we allow ample time for the veterinarian to discuss your pet’s condition and answer your questions. If a wellness exam reveals potential concerns, our advanced diagnostic equipment helps your veterinarian make a complete and accurate diagnosis. Some of our diagnostic services include:

In-House Laboratory:

Our in-house pet diagnostic laboratory allows us to detect diseases and conditions such as intestinal parasites, urinary tract infections, heartworm disease, Lyme disease and feline leukemia. Having an in-house lab makes it easier to treat ill pets in a more timely manner as well as screen healthy pets prior to dental and surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia. Routine annual and biannual pet blood testing can help us detect early signs of disease such as diabetes, changes in liver or kidney function, or simply provide a baseline for future reference.

Reference Laboratory:

For more specialized testing, NLVC has a close working relationship with the Northeast’s most comprehensive reference laboratory for diagnostic purposes. Our veterinarians usually get results within one day, so you don’t have to wait and worry about test results.

Veterinary Radiographs:

Radiographs (pet x-rays) help veterinarians diagnose many potential health problems, including medical problems affecting your pet’s lungs, heart, abdomen, oral cavity, kidneys and bladder. Pet x-rays can also help in diagnosing injuries such as fractures, joint injuries and other orthopedic conditions. As an extra precaution we routinely send our images for review by an on-call, board-certified veterinary radiologist.

Ears, Eyes, and Skin:

While blood analyzers and X-rays are very important diagnostic tools, the eyes, ears and skin often require specialized equipment and care. NLVC is fully equipped with the latest diagnostic tools to handle these specialized areas of your pet’s body.
