At Pine Hollow Veterinary Services, we have the most state-of-the-art diagnostic analyzers. We can run our diagnostics in the hospital and have results within 20 minutes. With these analyzers, we can quickly and accurately diagnose a wide variety of illnesses and diseases. We do not feel you and your pet should have to wait for results from an outside lab that could take days to get back. Your pet is our number one priority and we want to get to the bottom of any illness as quickly as possible.
Pine Hollow Veterinary Services uses a variety of services and in-house lab analyzers to diagnose and monitor pets, including:
| Service | Analyzer |
|---|---|
| Urinalysis - Evaluates urine to diagnose urinary tract problems, such as measuring the urine's specific gravity, appearance, and pH. | SediVue DX - Provides conclusive urine sediment results, advanced bacteria detection, and high-quality images. |
| Complete Blood Count (CBC) - Examines red and white blood cells and platelets to detect bleeding disorders, infections, anemia, and hydration levels. | ProCyte DX/Catalyst - Runs a CBC which predicts better outcomes for a patient and is one the most valuable diagnostic tools. Changes on a CBC are sensitive markers of deviation from health and can be seen before disease becomes clinically evident. |
| Cytology - Examines cell shape, arrangement, and function to better treat patients. | Microscopes - Can be used to examine samples such as blood, urine, feces, skin scrapings, and perform impressions. |
| Electrocardiography (ECG) - A non-invasive test that diagnoses abnormalities in the functioning of the heart muscle. | Cardiopet ECG - Runs an ECG during routine visits or preanesthetic screening that can offer lifesaving detection of patients with heart murmurs, arrhythmias, and other abnormalities. |
