Veterinary Diagnostics in Pensacola, FL
At Coastal Sunrise Animal Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your pet’s health quickly and precisely. From routine lab testing to imaging technologies, our team provides the insight needed to identify underlying conditions and guide personalized care.
Clear Answers for Better Pet Health
Because pets can’t tell us when something’s wrong, diagnostic testing allows us to see what’s happening inside their bodies. These tests help our veterinarians detect illness early, monitor ongoing conditions, and confirm your pet’s overall wellness. Early diagnosis can make a significant difference—allowing for faster treatment, less discomfort, and better long-term outcomes.
Whether your pet needs a simple blood test or more advanced imaging, our diagnostic services are designed to deliver clear answers and compassionate care.
In-House Laboratory Testing
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide range of lab tests quickly and efficiently, providing same-day results for most routine screenings. This enables our veterinarians to diagnose and begin treatment without delay.
Common laboratory tests include:
- Routine bloodwork (CBC, chemistry panels)
- Urinalysis to assess kidney and urinary health
- Fecal testing to detect parasites
- Cytology and biopsy for skin and tissue evaluations
- Heartworm and tick-borne disease screening
Regular lab testing is essential for preventive care, especially for senior pets or those managing chronic conditions. Our team reviews every result carefully, explaining what the findings mean for your pet’s ongoing health plan.
Diagnostic Imaging
When a physical exam or lab work isn’t enough to pinpoint a problem, diagnostic imaging helps us see inside your pet’s body safely and noninvasively. Coastal Sunrise Animal Hospital offers digital radiology, ultrasound, and endoscopy to provide a complete picture of your pet’s internal health.
Digital Radiology (X-Rays)
We use digital X-rays for clear, detailed images with minimal exposure to radiation. This technology allows us to detect broken bones, organ irregularities, bladder stones, and other internal conditions quickly and accurately. Results are available almost instantly, enabling our veterinarians to begin treatment right away.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal organs. This gentle, painless diagnostic tool is especially valuable for evaluating the heart, liver, kidneys, and abdomen. It helps us detect tumors, cysts, and fluid buildup without the need for surgery or sedation in most cases.
Ultrasound also plays a vital role in monitoring pregnancies and guiding certain medical procedures.
Endoscopy
When further investigation is needed, endoscopy allows us to examine your pet’s gastrointestinal tract or airways using a small, flexible camera. This minimally invasive procedure helps diagnose issues such as chronic vomiting, swallowing difficulties, or foreign body ingestion—often without requiring surgery.
