In-House Laboratory Testing
Our in-house laboratory testing services are extensive and include fecal exams, blood chemistries, complete blood count (CBC), electrolytes, parasite and tick-borne diseases. In addition, we test for feline leukemia, feline HIV/AIDS, and heartworm disease in both cats and dogs. Having these capabilities on-site means faster results, leading to quicker treatment decisions.
Annual blood and fecal checks play a crucial role in maintaining your pet's health. These tests help us catch diseases early, often before symptoms appear. Blood tests can detect conditions like kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and more. Fecal exams are vital for identifying parasites that can affect your pet's health and even pose a risk to human family members.
Additionally, we have advanced technology that allows us to connect with a board-certified pathologist for quicker definitive diagnoses for cytology tests. This includes masses, blood smears, and fluid samples.
Partnering with a Board-Certified Pathologist
Our Imagyst testing equipment allows us to partner with a remote, board-certified pathologist for faster and more thorough diagnostics for our cancer patients and more. With the aid of their invaluable expertise and ability to analyze test samples in real time, we can diagnose a wide range of complex issues and deliver outstanding and timely care to pets.
Cat and Dog Ultrasound
While not a specialist, Dr. Mills has undergone additional education and accrued years of experience diagnosing complex problems with ultrasound. Many local practices refer their patients to Dr. Mills for abdominal ultrasounds and echocardiograms. Our ultrasound technology allows us to conduct detailed exams without the need for invasive procedures and is a highly effective tool for diagnosing conditions of the heart and abdominal organs.
Digital Dental X-rays and Full Body X-rays
Oral health is a key component of your pet's overall health. With digital dental X-rays, we can spot dental issues that are concealed below the gum line and provide more effective dental treatment.
We can also perform full body X-rays to examine your pet's bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, and other areas for injuries or illnesses, and monitor ongoing conditions.
At Mills Animal Hospital, we believe in preventative care to ensure your pet lives a long, happy, and healthy life. Our comprehensive diagnostic services are here to support every stage of their journey. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, give us a call at (770) 903-5995!
