Diagnostic testing plays a vital role in understanding your pets health.
Early detection allows us to identify concerns sooner, improve treatment outcomes, and establish baseline information for future care.
As a pet parent, you may notice when something “isn’t quite right” with your pet, but determining the cause is not always straightforward. That is where diagnostic testing comes in. At Coastal Animal Hospital, our veterinary team is committed to providing a complete picture of your pets health through advanced laboratory and diagnostic services, helping us make informed decisions and deliver the best possible care.

From preventative screenings to sophisticated diagnostics.
Blood & Lab Tests
Knowing when your pet is unwell is one of the most challenging parts of pet care. Annual blood and lab tests help determine a normal baseline for your pet's health. Monitoring these results over time allows us to diagnose problems early, increasing the likelihood of timely intervention and recovery so your pet can live their best life.
Tonometry
Tonometry is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the pressure inside your pet’s eyes. Increased pressure in your pet’s eyes can be dangerous and can lead to diseases like glaucoma and uveitis. Tonometry is an easy way to check the pressure of your pet's eyes without having to sedate them.
Ultrasound
Using sound waves, a vet ultrasound generates images of the inside of your pet's body, such as muscles, tendons, joints, organs, and blood vessels. Ultrasound images are often ordered by your vet alongside x-rays, to get a more complete picture of your pet’s health.
Video Otoendoscopy
Video otoendoscopy is a sophisticated tool that empowers our veterinarians to safely and effectively explore deep within your pet's ear canal. Using the video otoendoscopy also helps with the management of simple and chronic ear infections and allows us to safely view the internal parts of the middle ear and eardrum. This advanced technique enhances our ability to perform thorough ear cleanings and flushings with greater safety.
