Diagnostics and Imaging
Diagnostic and Imaging Services in Port Orchard, WA
If your pet isn't acting like themselves, it can be worrying, and often frustrating, when you can't figure out why. At Wild Hearts Veterinary Clinic in Port Orchard, WA, our diagnostic and imaging services are designed to get to the bottom of what's going on. From subtle behavior changes to more obvious symptoms, we use a combination of in-house labs, advanced imaging, and experienced clinical evaluation to find real answers and get your pet feeling better faster.
In-House Lab Testing for Quick, Accurate Results
Having lab services available right here in our Port Orchard clinic means we can often get results the same day, so your pet doesn't have to wait for answers. Some of our tests include:
Chemistry panels to evaluate organ function and overall metabolic health.
Complete blood counts (CBC) to check for infection, inflammation, and blood-related conditions.
Urinalysis to assess kidney function and detect urinary tract issues.
Fecal testing to screen for intestinal parasites and digestive concerns.
Skin scrapes to identify mites, infections, and other skin conditions.
These tests, combined with a physical exam, give our veterinarians a clear picture of your pet's health.
AI-Assisted Diagnostics for Precise Evaluation
Alongside our experienced veterinary team’s clinical evaluation, we use an AI microscope tool, sometimes called an "imagist," to enhance the accuracy and speed of certain diagnostics. This technology assists with ear cytologies, urinalysis, and mass identifications, giving our team a fast, detailed evaluation of masses and other findings. It's one more way we ensure your pet's diagnosis is thorough and precise.
Radiology and X-Rays for a Deeper Look
Some issues can't be found through labs alone. Our in-house radiology and X-ray services allow us to take a closer look at your pet's bones, organs, and internal structures, which helps us identify injuries, obstructions, growths, and other issues that need attention. X-rays are often a key piece of the puzzle when diagnosing the cause of your pet's symptoms.
Ultrasound Services for Advanced Imaging
For cases that require a more detailed look, we offer ultrasound imaging in our Port Orchard clinic. We also partner with a trusted radiologist who comes in house to perform more advanced, detailed ultrasound evaluations. This collaborative approach ensures your pet receives thorough, expert-level imaging without the stress of an outside referral.
