Diagnostics

Diagnostic testing enables our Lewiston Veterinary team to determine your pet’s health status and diagnose disease. Our expertly trained veterinary professionals ensure your pet gets the care it deserves by offering a wide range of testing. From wellness screening tests to advanced imaging techniques, our diagnostic capabilities support a range of pet health needs.

Tumor biopsies
Hormone testing
Fungal testing
Culture and sensitivity testing
Cancer screening

Routine wellness checks
PCR and infectious disease testing
Urinary stone analysis
Heartworm Testing

In-house laboratory testing is a convenient option that allows our team to diagnose many pet illnesses while you wait. Our laboratory capabilities include essential blood and urine testing, fecal parasite checks, skin and ear cytology testing, and more. In-house test results enable us to obtain critical health information in minutes, allowing us to formulate and begin a treatment plan without delay.

We partner with top-tier reference laboratories for specialized and non-urgent tests. Reference labs provide comprehensive diagnostic services, including blood panels, histopathology, cultures, and more, to help us reach an accurate diagnosis. Tests sent to Zoetis and Boehinger complement our in-house laboratory by providing a more complete picture of your pet’s health. Common tests we send out to reference laboratories include:

X-Ray

X-rays are a vital diagnostic tool for examining your pet's bones, joints, chest, abdomen, bladder, and other internal structures. Our hospital uses digital X-ray technology, which provides instant, high-quality images. Our veterinarians can interpret initial X-ray studies and may send images to a radiology specialist for expert review. Reasons we may take X-rays of your pet include:

Suspected fracture or soft tissue injury
Vomiting
Urinary tract problems
Abnormal abdominal palpation
Heart murmur
Coughing or difficulty breathing

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed, three-dimensional, real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. At LVC, we use ultrasound to evaluate abdominal organs, collect urine, monitor hospitalized patients, confirm pregnancy, and more.
