Advanced Diagnostic Services

At Westside, we’re proud to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to quickly and accurately assess your pet’s health. From cutting-edge imaging to comprehensive lab testing, we’re equipped to get to the root of health concerns and ensure your pet receives the best care possible.

X-rays: Digital Radiography

Gone are the days of traditional film X-rays—our clinic uses Digital Radiography for more precise, efficient, and accessible imaging.

Crystal-Clear Imaging

Digital X-rays provide much higher resolution than their traditional counterparts, allowing our team to detect even the smallest abnormalities with confidence.

Speedy Results

Faster imaging means quicker diagnoses, reducing the time you and your pet spend waiting for answers.

Seamless Specialist Collaboration

With DICOM transfer technology, we can electronically send X-rays to offsite veterinary specialists, like those at Auburn University, for immediate evaluation. This collaboration allows us to deliver advanced diagnostic insights and tailor treatment plans for your pet right away.

In-House Laboratory

Our fully equipped in-house lab offers a wide range of diagnostic tests to help us quickly pinpoint health issues.

Parasite Detection

We conduct intestinal parasite exams to check for common problems like worms and other parasitic infections.

Heartworm Testing

Regular heartworm screening ensures early detection and timely treatment of this serious condition.

Feline Testing

For our feline friends, we offer tests for feline leukemia and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) to catch these illnesses early.

Comprehensive Bloodwork

CBC (Complete Blood Count)

Evaluates overall health and checks for infections, anemia, and other underlying conditions.

Electrolytes

Monitors key minerals that impact hydration, organ function, and overall balance in the body.

Blood Chemistries

Measures liver, kidney, and other organ function, helping us detect issues like liver disease, kidney problems, or diabetes.

By combining advanced imaging with detailed lab testing, our diagnostic services are designed to provide a thorough understanding of your pet’s health. This proactive approach allows us to catch problems early, develop effective treatment plans, and keep your pet feeling their best.
