Common Questions About Pet Diagnostics
Pet owners throughout Madison Heights often ask how diagnostic tools help their pets get faster, more accurate care. Here, the veterinarians at Oak Animal Hospital explain what to expect from our imaging and laboratory services.
Why are diagnostic tests important for pets?
Diagnostic tests provide insights that can’t be seen through a physical exam alone. At Oak Animal Hospital in Madison Heights, our imaging and laboratory tools enable us to identify illnesses, injuries, or organ changes early — when treatment is most effective.
Do you offer same-day test results?
Yes. Our in-house laboratory can process most blood work, chemistry panels, and cytology samples the same day, ensuring your pet receives timely care and minimizing stress for both pets and owners.
What can X-rays and ultrasounds detect?
X-rays show details of bones and dense tissues, while ultrasounds reveal organs and soft tissue structures. Together, they help diagnose fractures, tumors, fluid buildup, and internal abnormalities with precision.
Will my pet need sedation for imaging?
Most X-rays and ultrasounds can be performed while your pet is awake. For anxious pets or complex imaging, light sedation may be used to keep them comfortable and still.
How often should my pet have lab tests?
Annual blood work is recommended for most pets, with additional testing for seniors or those with chronic conditions. Routine screening helps detect issues before symptoms appear, supporting preventive care.
