When something about your pet's health changes, having clear answers can make all the difference. Comprehensive veterinary diagnostics in Cheyenne, WY allow our veterinarians to look beyond symptoms and better understand what your pet's body is telling us.
Our animal hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic technology, including in-house laboratory equipment, digital radiology, and ultrasound imaging. These tools allow us to evaluate illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and identify health concerns earlier so treatment decisions can be made with clarity and confidence.
If your pet needs diagnostic testing or evaluation, reach out to our team.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Prairie Hills Animal Hospital offers a wide range of in-house diagnostic testing using advanced IDEXX laboratory equipment. This allows our team to obtain many results the same day, helping us make timely decisions for pets who need prompt care.
In-house laboratory testing may include:
Complete blood counts (CBC)
Comprehensive blood chemistry panels
Urinalysis
Fecal testing for intestinal parasites
Monitoring tests for chronic conditions or medications
For less urgent situations, Prairie Hills partners with a trusted external diagnostic laboratory. This collaboration allows us to access a wider range of specialized testing while also offering diagnostic packages that help reduce costs for routine screening and monitoring.
By combining in-house testing with reference laboratory services, our team can provide both rapid answers when needed and deeper diagnostic insight for more complex cases.
X-Rays and Ultrasound
Imaging plays an important role in understanding what is happening inside your pet's body. Prairie Hills Animal Hospital offers both fully digital radiology and ultrasound imaging to evaluate internal organs, bones, and soft tissues.
Digital radiology (X-rays) allows our veterinarians to capture high-quality images within seconds, helping identify concerns such as bone injuries, foreign objects, bladder stones, or changes in the chest or abdomen. When appropriate, these images can also be reviewed by a board-certified veterinary radiologist to provide additional diagnostic insight.
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows veterinarians to visualize internal organs in real time. Ultrasound can assist in evaluating abdominal organs, identifying internal changes, guiding safe sample collection, and assessing fluid within body cavities.
Together, these diagnostic tools help our team gather detailed information so we can recommend the most appropriate next steps for your pet's care.
Supporting Diagnostics and Monitoring
In addition to laboratory testing and imaging, we have several diagnostic monitoring tools that help evaluate specific medical concerns.
These include:
Blood pressure monitoring
Electrocardiogram (EKG) and heart monitoring
Continuous vital monitoring for surgical and ICU patients
Eye pressure testing using a TonoVet device to screen for conditions such as glaucoma
Digital dental radiographs used during dental procedures to evaluate tooth roots and detect disease below the gumline
These tools allow our veterinarians to evaluate your pet's health from multiple perspectives and monitor ongoing conditions with greater precision.
Diagnostic testing helps our veterinarians move from uncertainty to understanding. If your pet needs diagnostic tests, reach out to our team.
