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.
