In-Clinic Diagnostics
The in-house diagnostic capability at Danner Veterinary Hospital provides pet owners in South
Tulsa, Bixby, and Jenks, Oklahoma with on-site routine testing to determine your pet’s overall
health. Our pets cannot tell us when something is wrong, in fact, they instinctively hide their
abnormalities. Diagnostic tests can indicate a condition that may not be obvious during an
external examination. For this reason, we conduct in-house diagnostic tests to get an accurate
picture of your pet’s overall health.
Our in-house diagnostic capabilities enable us to conduct complete blood counts (CBCs) and
full chemistry panels, measure liver and kidney function, and perform thyroid and adrenal gland
testing. We also test for heartworms, perform fecal analysis and urinalysis.
Results from diagnostic testing can detect infection and anemia, determine electrolyte status
and hydration levels, evaluate kidney, liver, and pancreas function, screen for thyroid disease,
check blood sugar levels, and more. Our in-house IDEXX snap readers allow us to get same
day results. This quick turn around time enables our knowledgeable doctor to give you a
diagnosis and start treatment on the same day. That’s all the better for quickly getting your pet
back to normal.
Danner Veterinary Hospital wants to keep your pet healthy and happy for years to come. We
recommend annual testing for most pets; senior pets may need to be seen more often. Regular
diagnostic testing provides our veterinarian with baseline information about your pet, and lets us
know if there is a significant change that indicates an underlying condition or disease.
If you feel that something is not right with your pet, don’t hesitate to call and make an
appointment today.
