We offer a comprehensive suite of in-house laboratory services, including:

  • Complete blood counts (CBC)
  • Blood chemistry panels

  • Urinalysis
  • Fecal testing for parasites
  • Cytology (ear swabs, skin scrapings, fine-needle aspirates)

Rapid Test Results When Time Matters

In urgent care or surgical situations, time is critical. Our in-house diagnostics allow us to run pre-anesthetic bloodwork or test for acute concerns—such as anemia, infection, or dehydration—within minutes. This rapid turnaround means faster diagnoses, quicker treatments, and better outcomes for your pet.

Diagnostic Imaging

Some conditions can’t be detected with lab tests alone. That’s why Mount Carmel Pet Hospital offers advanced veterinary imaging—including digital X-rays and ultrasound—to visualize your pet’s internal organs, bones, and soft tissues in a non-invasive way.

Digital Radiography (X-rays)

Used to evaluate bones, lungs, heart, abdomen, and joints. Radiographs are essential for detecting fractures, arthritis, tumors, dental disease, and swallowed objects. Digital imaging provides higher-quality results and faster turnaround than traditional film.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to provide a real-time look at soft tissues, including the liver, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and reproductive organs. It’s ideal for diagnosing fluid buildup, tumors, organ abnormalities, and pregnancy in pets.

Our team uses these tools to provide a more complete picture of your pet’s condition, often as part of a broader diagnostic workup. Combined with our lab capabilities, imaging allows us to form accurate diagnoses, guide treatment plans, and monitor progress—all with less stress and fewer delays for you and your pet.
