Veterinary Diagnostics in Dodgeville, WI
Veterinary diagnostics help us look beneath the surface to better understand your pet’s health. Our advanced lab testing and imaging tools allow for fast, accurate results and more effective treatment.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Care
Our diagnostic tools play a crucial role in maintaining your pet’s health and detecting disease early. With state-of-the-art laboratory and imaging equipment, we can analyze internal systems, monitor organ function, and evaluate injuries — all within our hospital. This enables our team to deliver faster answers and more effective treatment recommendations for dogs, cats, and small companion animals.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Our full-service, in-house diagnostic laboratory enables us to perform a wide range of tests on blood, urine, feces, and tissue samples. These tests provide critical insight into your pet’s overall health and allow for early detection of conditions that may not yet show physical symptoms.
We use bloodwork and lab testing to identify or monitor:
- Infections and inflammation
- Diabetes, liver, and kidney disease
- Heartworm, Lyme disease, and other tick-borne illnesses
- Feline leukemia and other viral diseases
- Internal parasites and urinary tract infections
Because results are processed onsite, we can often share findings within minutes — reducing stress and ensuring timely care. Laboratory testing is also an essential step before surgeries or dental procedures requiring anesthesia, ensuring your pet’s safety at every stage.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays, also known as radiographs, are a vital component of modern veterinary imaging. At Dodgeville Veterinary Services, we use high-resolution digital radiography to examine the heart, lungs, bones, abdomen, and oral cavity. This technology provides clear, detailed images that help us detect fractures, swallowed objects, tumors, and other abnormalities quickly and accurately.
Our digital X-ray system offers several benefits:
- Immediate image viewing for faster diagnosis
- Enhanced image quality for improved accuracy
- Shorter processing time, reducing your pet’s stress
- Environmentally friendly — no harsh chemicals needed
- Easy sharing with specialists for second opinions
This technology reflects our commitment to offering the best veterinary care and ensuring your pet receives an accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure helps us evaluate organ structure and function, identify masses or fluid buildup, and even confirm pregnancies.
Our veterinarians commonly use ultrasound to examine the abdomen, heart, and reproductive organs, allowing us to detect issues that X-rays alone may not reveal. Most pets remain calm during the procedure, which typically takes 30–60 minutes and rarely requires sedation. Results are available immediately, helping us develop a treatment plan with minimal delay.
Clear Answers for Better Pet Care
Accurate diagnostics are at the heart of effective veterinary medicine. With advanced tools like in-house lab testing, digital X-rays, and ultrasound, the team at Dodgeville Veterinary Services provides precise insights that guide every stage of your pet’s care. Our experienced veterinarians use this technology to detect illness early, monitor ongoing conditions, and support the health of dogs, cats, and small pets across the greater Dodgeville area — helping families make confident, informed decisions about their companions’ well-being.
