Pet diagnostics, with answers the same visit

Our laboratory, X-ray and ultrasound are in this building. Most results come back inside the same appointment — which is the difference between treating your pet today and waiting until Thursday.

What we can run here

Each one with a realistic turnaround, not a hopeful one. Where something has to go to an outside laboratory, we say so at the time.

A microscope in use at the in-house laboratory bench Most results in under an hour In-house blood laboratory Haematology and biochemistry run here, in the building, while you wait. Kidney and liver function, blood sugar, infection markers and anaesthetic pre-op screens.
An ultrasound scan being carried out, the image on the screen beside the table Images ready in minutes Digital X-ray Bones, chest and abdomen, taken and read on the spot. Digital plates mean we can lighten, enlarge and re-angle an image without re-taking it and re-sedating your pet.
An ultrasound probe on a calm patient Same visit Ultrasound scanning Soft tissue, bladder, pregnancy and fluid in the abdomen — the things an X-ray cannot show. No sedation needed for most scans.
A microscope slide being prepared in the in-house laboratory Same visit Urine & faecal testing Urinary crystals, infection, kidney concentration, and the worm eggs a faecal float picks up that a general wormer might miss.
A microscope slide being prepared in the in-house laboratory While you wait Skin & ear cytology Scrapes, tape strips and swabs read under the microscope here — mites, yeast or bacteria, which decides the treatment entirely.
A rapid test kit being read 10–20 minutes Rapid infectious disease tests In-clinic kits for parvovirus, feline leukaemia and FIV, and tick-borne disease — answers in minutes when the answer changes what happens next.
Why it matters where the test is run

Speed is not a luxury in diagnostics

Plenty of clinics offer the same tests. The question worth asking is where they are run and how long you wait.

A sick animal cannot wait three days Sending bloods to an outside laboratory costs days. For a collapsed cat or a vomiting puppy, the diagnosis arriving on Thursday is not a diagnosis.
One visit instead of three Examined, tested and treated in the same appointment. You are not driving back and forth with an unwell animal in a hot car.
The vet who examined reads the result Not a report emailed from elsewhere and interpreted second-hand. The person who felt the abdomen is the person looking at the scan.
Anaesthetic pre-op screening Before any sedation we can check kidney and liver function that morning — which is how an anaesthetic risk gets found before it becomes an anaesthetic problem.
You see the images We put the X-ray or scan on the screen and show you what we are looking at. It is your pet and your decision; you should be able to see the reason for it.
Written results, not verbal only You leave with the numbers. If you move, travel, or see another vet, the history travels with you instead of living in our files.
Worth testing for

When a test actually changes something

We will also tell you when a test is not worth doing. A result that would not change the treatment is a result you paid for twice.

Before an anaesthetic Pre-op bloods on older pets, and on any pet with a history worth checking.
Unexplained weight loss In cats especially, this is where thyroid, kidney and diabetes separate out.
Drinking and urinating more One of the clearest early signals, and one of the most ignored.
Vomiting that keeps returning Imaging rules out an obstruction or a swallowed object before it becomes surgery.
Limping that will not settle X-ray distinguishes a soft-tissue strain from something structural.
Senior wellness checks A yearly blood panel from around seven catches things while they are still cheap to manage.
Cannot get here with them?

We collect, test, and bring them home.

Our own vehicle picks your pet up, the tests are run here, and we call you with the results before they are back at your door. For an anxious cat or an owner without a car, this is often the difference between the test happening and not.

Questions owners ask

Will my pet need sedation?

Usually not. Most X-rays and nearly all ultrasound scans are done with gentle handling alone. Where sedation genuinely is needed — a painful limb, a chest film that must be perfectly still — we tell you first and explain why.

How long do results take?

In-house bloods are usually back within the hour, X-ray images in minutes, and rapid test kits in ten to twenty minutes. A small number of specialised tests do go to an external laboratory, and we will say so at the time.

Can I get the images and results to take away?

Yes. Ask and we will send the images and the written report — useful if you are relocating, seeing a specialist, or simply want your pet’s history in one place.

Do you do diagnostics for birds?

Yes. Avian work needs different handling and different reference ranges, and it is a real part of what we do rather than an afterthought.

My pet seems fine — is a blood test worth it?

For a young healthy animal, not routinely. From around seven, or before any anaesthetic, a baseline panel is genuinely worth having: it is far easier to spot a change when there is something to compare against.

Can you read results from another clinic?

Bring them. A second opinion on an existing result is a fair thing to ask for, and having the earlier numbers usually makes the current ones far more useful.

Tell us what you are seeing.

We will tell you whether it needs testing, which test would actually answer it, and what the turnaround is — before you come in.
