Pet Diagnostics Services in Lewisville, NC

Our diagnostic equipment makes it possible for us to understand your pet’s health on a deeper level. Since pets can’t speak for themselves, we have in-house tools that can help us do the talking for them. At Animal Hospital of Lewisville, we employ ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, and digital X-ray in order to give our patients the best care possible.

Why We Recommend Annual Lab Work

Seemingly healthy pets can have more happening below the surface than we realize. Blood, urine, and fecal testing help us see essential information about your pet's health that is otherwise undetectable.

As part of our commitment to preventive care, we recommend yearly blood and fecal screens to check for parasites and diseases (and the potential for disease). Early detection is vital for maintaining your pet’s health and helping them sidestep future issues.

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram for dogs and cats is a non-invasive medical test that uses sound waves to create an image of your pet's heart. It gives our veterinarians valuable information about its size, shape, and function.

In addition to echocardiograms, we also offer general veterinary ECG and dog or cat ECG services to evaluate your pet’s heart rhythm and electrical activity. These tools help us assess heart valves, contractions, blood flow patterns, and detect abnormalities such as heart murmurs, valve disorders, or heart muscle diseases, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is a painless and non-invasive way for us to see your pet's internal organs and other structures. Ultrasound can be used to diagnose:

Foreign bodies
Cysts
Cancerous tumors
GI tract obstructions
Heart conditions
Pregnancies
Fluid in the abdomen or around the heart

Ultrasound can be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools, and most pets tolerate it well.

The vets and staff are second to none. They treat all of our animals like their own. In addition, we are always done super quickly! They are punctual but offer the best and most thorough care possible. I never feel like my questions don’t matter! We work primarily with Dr. Journell and she’s the best!

- Joanna M

Dr. Journell is seriously the best. She kept our baby bear happy and strong for two years after he was diagnosed with heart failure. She understood what was right for him and what was to much for his body to handle. My husband and I love all the staff as well, always friendly and understanding.

- Casey J

The friendliest staff, cleanest facilities & competent, caring vets. My dog is as excited to come here as he is to go to the dog park, which makes my life much easier than if he was nervous and scared and I had to drag him there.

Digital X-Ray

Digital X-ray imaging has many advantages over traditional film X-ray, including:

Much less radiation
Higher-quality images
Faster processing with the ability to email X-ray images out to other doctors or specialists within minutes
A shorter and easier procedure for pets

With X-ray we can diagnose foreign bodies, broken bones, arthritis, and more.

In-House Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory allows our medical team to test and receive accurate results on your pet's necessary blood work, fecal analysis, and cytology, all without having to send to an outside laboratory, costing you additional time and money.

We can find problems earlier and and start your pet on any their treatment, medications, or therapies faster, helping your pet on the road to recovery.
