At Ravenwood Veterinary Clinic, we understand that your pet is more than just an animal—they’re family. That’s why we offer comprehensive pet diagnostics in Eagle River, Alaska, designed to get to the root of health concerns quickly and accurately. Early and precise detection of illness is vital to maintaining your pet’s health, and our advanced veterinary diagnostic tools help us do just that. Whether it’s a routine wellness check or a deeper investigation into unexplained symptoms, our team is here to provide expert, compassionate care every step of the way.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Services
Our diagnostic services are an essential part of the care we provide. These services help our veterinarians assess your pet’s internal health, identify any abnormalities, and create customized treatment plans.
In-House Laboratory Testing Many routine lab tests can be performed on-site, often with same-day results. This is crucial for urgent care needs or when immediate answers are needed. Our lab tests include:
-
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
-
Blood chemistry panels (kidney, liver, glucose levels)
-
Electrolyte analysis
-
Heartworm and FeLV (feline leukemia) tests
-
Urinalysis and fecal exams
-
Cytology and parasite screening
For more complex cases, we partner with IDEXX Laboratories in Washington State. Results typically return within 24 hours, and our veterinarians consult with board-certified experts to interpret any complicated findings.
Advanced Imaging
We offer both digital radiology (X-rays) and ultrasound imaging, which are safe, non-invasive methods to assess your pet’s internal organs, bones, and tissues. These tools are especially useful in diagnosing injuries, tumors, digestive issues, and dental conditions.
For specialized cases, we collaborate with Southland Veterinary Services to have X-rays reviewed by a board-certified veterinary radiologist within 24 hours, ensuring thorough, expert evaluation.
Why Diagnostics Matter for Your Pet’s Health
Veterinary diagnostics are often the first step in identifying underlying health issues. Detecting disease in its early stages can dramatically improve treatment outcomes, reduce costs, and, most importantly, prolong your pet’s quality of life.
Delaying or skipping diagnostics can lead to worsening conditions that could have been treated more easily if caught early. For instance, untreated kidney issues, diabetes, or infections can escalate quickly without proper lab testing.
