Detecting issues quickly and accurately with state-of-the-art medical technology.
At Noah's Ark Animal Hospital, we know that pets cannot tell us when they are feeling unwell. That is why we utilize advanced veterinary diagnostics to uncover underlying health issues quickly. Our experienced veterinarians detect medical conditions early, ensuring your pet receives the most effective and timely care possible.
We tailor our diagnostic approach to your pet's specific needs using our advanced in-house laboratory and imaging suite.
CBC and chemistry panels to evaluate organ function (liver, kidneys) and detect hidden infections.
High-resolution X-rays to safely and non-invasively examine bones, joints, and vital internal organs.
Essential urinalysis and fecal screenings to identify infections, diabetes, and internal parasites.
Common diagnostic tests include bloodwork, urinalysis, X-rays, ultrasounds, fecal exams, and biopsies to assess your pet's health condition.
