The in-house diagnostic capability at Southern Hills Animal Hospital provides on-site routine testing to determine your pet’s overall health. Our pets cannot tell us when something is wrong, in fact, they instinctively hide their abnormalities. Diagnostic tests can indicate a condition that may not be obvious from the outside.
Our in-house diagnostic capabilities enable us to conduct complete blood counts (CBCs) and full chemistry panels, measure liver and kidney function, and perform thyroid and adrenal gland testing. We also test for heartworms, perform fecal analysis and urinalysis. Our state-of-the-art lab facilities provide us with fast results on many of our tests. This enables our knowledgeable veterinarians to give you a diagnosis and start treatment on the same day. That’s all the better for quickly getting your pet back to normal.
At Southern Hills Animal Hospital, we want to keep your pet healthy and happy for years to come. We recommend annual testing for most pets; senior pets may need to be seen more often. Regular diagnostic testing provides our veterinarians with baseline information about your pet, and lets us know if there is a significant change that indicates an underlying condition or disease.
If you feel that something is not right with your pet, don’t hesitate to call and make an appointment today. Our service area encompasses Shreveport, Bossier City, and everywhere in between.
