Veterinary Diagnostics & Internal Medicine

Animals can’t tell us where it hurts, so diagnosing an illness often means putting together several pieces of the puzzle. Our veterinarian starts with a thorough physical exam and your animal’s medical history, then recommends the diagnostic tests that will provide the clearest answers.

Our mixed practice cares for dogs, cats, horses, cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, llamas, and alpacas. Whether you have a family pet, a hobby farm, or a food production operation, our veterinary team provides straightforward recommendations and personalized care.

In-House Veterinary Laboratory

In-House Veterinary Laboratory

Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many diagnostic tests without waiting days for results. Faster answers help us begin treatment sooner and monitor ongoing conditions more effectively.

Common tests include:

Complete blood count (CBC), which evaluates blood cells

Blood chemistry panels to assess organ function

Urinalysis (urine testing)

Fecal testing for intestinal parasites

Routine bloodwork for wellness and senior pets

Reference Laboratory Testing

Some conditions require specialized testing. When needed, we work with trusted veterinary reference laboratories to investigate complex illnesses, hormone disorders, infectious diseases, and other medical concerns that require advanced analysis.

Veterinary Ultrasound

Ultrasound gives our veterinarian a detailed look at soft tissues and internal organs without surgery. It can help evaluate the liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, reproductive organs, and other abdominal structures.

Ultrasound is commonly recommended for:

Persistent vomiting or diarrhea

Unexplained weight loss

Abdominal pain

Fluid accumulation

Pregnancy evaluation

Internal organ assessment

Digital Radiology & Portable X-Ray

Radiographs (X-rays) allow us to examine bones, joints, the chest, and parts of the abdomen. They are helpful for diagnosing fractures, arthritis, lung disease, heart enlargement, and certain digestive problems.

For large animal patients, portable X-ray equipment allows our veterinarian to perform diagnostic imaging in appropriate situations outside the clinic.

Internal Medicine Services

Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and managing diseases that affect the body’s organs and hormone systems. Many of these conditions require long-term monitoring, medication adjustments, and regular follow-up visits.

Our veterinary team works closely with pet owners and livestock producers to create realistic treatment plans and explain each diagnosis in plain language.

Internal Medicine Services

Veterinary Dermatology

Skin problems can have many causes, including allergies, parasites, infections, or hormonal disease. If your animal has ongoing itching, hair loss, recurring ear infections, or irritated skin, diagnostic testing can help identify what’s causing the problem instead of simply treating the symptoms.

Endocrine Disease Management

Hormonal disorders often develop gradually, making them easy to overlook at first. Our veterinarian diagnoses and manages several endocrine diseases, including:

Cushing’s disease, which causes excessive cortisol production.

Addison’s disease, where the body doesn’t produce enough important hormones.

Hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid that commonly affects dogs.

Hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid most often seen in cats.

Diabetes mellitus, which affects how the body regulates blood sugar.

These conditions often require ongoing bloodwork, medication, and regular monitoring to help your animal maintain a good quality of life.
