Full In-House Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory is equipped to perform a wide variety of diagnostic tests, allowing us to obtain results in as little as 15 minutes for critical cases. This quick turnaround time is vital for pets experiencing medical emergencies, ensuring that lifesaving treatments can begin without delay. For tests that require more extensive analysis, such as biopsies and cultures, we partner with a trusted external laboratory offering twice-daily pickup for same-day or next-day results.

Regular blood testing is also essential for pets during routine wellness exams. For pets aged 1-6 years, annual bloodwork can detect conditions like heartworm disease early. For senior pets, more frequent testing (every six months) helps monitor aging-related issues such as diabetes, kidney disease, and thyroid abnormalities.

Common Veterinary Laboratory Tests

While we can conduct many diagnostic tests in our in-house laboratory, we occasionally have to rely on the advanced tools and specialist support of outside laboratories. Here are some of the most common laboratory tests we may recommend for your pet:

  • Bloodwork

    Screens for conditions like anemia, infections, and organ dysfunction

  • Urinalysis

    Evaluates kidney health, urinary tract infections, and diabetes

  • Fecal Exams

    Detects intestinal parasites and digestive abnormalities

  • Biopsies

    Examines tissue samples to diagnose masses or skin conditions

Digital X-Rays (Radiography)

X-rays are a powerful tool for diagnosing a range of conditions, from fractures to organ abnormalities. At Advanced Pet Care of Clear Lake, we use the Sound-Eklin digital X-ray system, a trusted name in veterinary and human medicine. This cutting-edge technology provides clearer images than traditional film X-rays, enabling us to detect problems more accurately and efficiently.

To ensure the most comprehensive care, all X-ray images are reviewed by a board-certified veterinary radiologist, with detailed reports added to your pet’s medical records. Whether we’re identifying fractures, locating foreign objects, or assessing internal organ health, our X-ray capabilities provide the clarity needed for an accurate diagnosis.

Cat Dental X Ray

Dental X-Rays

Most dental diseases in pets start below the gumline, where they’re invisible to the naked eye. Our dedicated dental X-ray unit allows us to examine the roots, bones, and surrounding structures of your pet’s teeth in detail. This enables us to detect and treat issues like tooth fractures, abscesses, and periodontal disease early—before they lead to significant pain or complications.
