Diagnostics & x-Rays in Maple Grove

When it comes to your pet’s health, having answers quickly and accurately can make all the difference. Maple Grove Pet Hospital uses advanced diagnostic tools for precise and effective care. These tools include digital radiology, comprehensive blood analysis, and urinalysis. They help evaluate a pet’s health and create a personalized treatment plan. The tools also help detect potential problems early, ensuring the best possible outcome for your pet. Whether your pet is feeling under the weather or simply needs routine testing, our team has the technology and expertise to help.

Pets can’t tell us where it hurts, and they often mask signs of illness. Diagnostic testing can provide the answers you need to understand your furry friend’s health. At our Maple Grove Pet Hospital, our approach to diagnostics is built on trust, compassion, and medical excellence. Accurate testing helps our team uncover what’s happening beneath the surface so we can better understand your pet’s overall health.

Whether your companion is experiencing subtle changes in behavior or more obvious symptoms, diagnostics allow us to make informed decisions tailored to their unique condition. From digital imaging to lab work, we prioritize fast, accurate results so you can feel confident in the next steps for your pet’s care.

We are proud to offer a full range of diagnostic services in-house, allowing us to evaluate your pet’s condition quickly and comfortably. With advanced imaging and laboratory capabilities under one roof, we’re equipped to deliver thorough, efficient care when it matters most.

Digital X-rays are an essential tool in veterinary diagnostics. They are commonly used to identify broken bones, arthritis, swallowed foreign objects, tumors, and other internal issues that may not be visible during a physical exam. The images are available almost instantly and can be easily enhanced for better visualization, helping us make timely and informed decisions. This non-invasive imaging option is a key component in diagnosing many conditions safely and effectively.

Ultrasound imaging provides a closer look at your pet’s internal organs using painless, non-invasive sound wave technology. It allows us to assess soft tissues such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, and heart in real-time. This tool is especially useful for investigating unexplained symptoms, monitoring chronic conditions, or evaluating changes in organ size or texture. Ultrasound imaging offers a more complete understanding of your pet’s internal health.

Our in-house laboratory gives us the ability to conduct a wide range of diagnostic tests on-site, often with same-day results. We routinely perform bloodwork analysis, urinalysis, and fecal exams to screen for infection, inflammation, parasites, and metabolic issues. These tests provide valuable insights into how your pet’s organs are functioning and whether further evaluation may be needed. With fast, reliable lab testing available in our hospital, we’re able to move quickly to get you the answers you need.

For cases that require deeper investigation, we offer access to advanced imaging options that provide detailed visuals of complex internal structures. These tools are especially helpful when evaluating neurological, orthopedic, or internal concerns that aren’t easily detected through standard imaging. Advanced diagnostics allow us to approach each case with greater precision, offering a more complete view of what’s happening inside your pet’s body.

Diagnostic testing may be recommended if your pet is showing signs of illness, injury, or behavioral changes, or as part of their ongoing wellness care. Even subtle shifts in behavior or appetite can point to underlying issues that benefit from closer examination. While every patient is different, some common signs that may warrant diagnostic testing include:

• Unexplained weight loss or gain
• Changes in appetite, thirst, or urination habits
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Lethargy or decreased energy levels
• Coughing, sneezing, or breathing issues
• Swelling, lumps, or skin abnormalities
• Limping or signs of discomfort
• Suspected toxin ingestion
• Pre-anesthetic screening or wellness bloodwork
