X-Ray Diagnostics
At Hartsdale Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer advanced digital x-ray technology to support accurate, efficient diagnoses for your pet. X-rays are essential for identifying conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bone fractures, structural abnormalities, tumors, and more.
Our use of digital x-rays reduces exposure time for your pet, providing faster results with significantly less radiation. The high-resolution images allow our veterinarians to make well-informed decisions and easily share results with pet owners or specialists when needed.
What truly sets us apart is not just our technology, but our skilled team of veterinary professionals. Their training and experience ensure each image is expertly analyzed, helping us deliver the most accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment for your pet’s unique health needs—all right here at Hartsdale, NY.
In-House Laboratory
At Hartsdale Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to provide in-house diagnostic laboratory services at our Hartsdale, NY facility. Our on-site lab allows us to perform a wide range of essential tests—such as Complete Blood Count (CBC), blood chemistry panels, and screenings for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)—with speed and accuracy.
Having an in-house lab means faster results and better control over the testing process. For more complex or specialized diagnostics, we partner with a trusted external laboratory to ensure your pet receives the most advanced testing and care available.
Common diagnostic tests may include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Blood Chemistry Panel
- Urinalysis
- Heartworm Test
- Thyroid Function Test
- Electrolytes Testing
- Fecal Ova and Parasite Exam
- Feline Leukemia (FeLV)
- Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
Why These Tests Matter:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures red and white blood cells to help diagnose conditions like anemia, infection, and clotting disorders.
- Blood Chemistry Panel: Evaluates organ function (such as liver and kidneys) through a series of biochemical tests.
- Thyroid Tests: Detects thyroid imbalances that may affect metabolism—especially common in senior pets.
- Electrolytes Testing: Assesses hydration status and essential salt levels in the body.
- Urinalysis: Identifies potential kidney disease or urinary tract infections through urine sample analysis.
- Fecal Tests: Detects internal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. For best results, bring a fresh stool sample to your pet’s annual exam.
Allergy & Dermatology
Allergies and skin conditions can leave your pet feeling itchy, irritated, and uncomfortable. At Hartsdale Veterinary Hospital, our experienced veterinary team is specially trained in diagnosing and treating dermatological issues that may affect your pet’s skin, coat, ears, eyes, and paws. Many of these conditions can be chronic, so building a trusting, ongoing relationship with your veterinarian is key to long-term relief.
Our primary goal is to identify the underlying cause of your pet’s discomfort and provide effective, lasting relief. This begins with a thorough physical examination at our Hartsdale, NY facility. Depending on the case, we may also rely on owner-provided history, blood work, or a combination of diagnostic tools to determine the source of the problem—whether it’s an allergy, infection, or other skin-related issue.
Common Signs of Dermatological Issues in Pets
If your pet is experiencing a skin-related condition, you may notice one or more of the following symptoms:
- Excessive biting, licking, or chewing at the skin
- Frequent itching or scratching
- Red, irritated, or watery eyes
- Changes in behavior, such as increased irritability or aggression
- Flaky skin, rashes, or hair loss
- Seeking more or less attention than usual
If you observe any of these signs, it’s important to schedule an evaluation to help your pet find relief and prevent the condition from worsening.
Pet Ultrasound
At Hartsdale Veterinary Hospital, we utilize advanced ultrasound technology at our Hartsdale, NY facility to provide real-time, detailed images of your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize structures inside the body by capturing the echoes that bounce back from internal tissues.
Unlike X-rays, which are best for viewing bones, ultrasounds allow us to assess soft tissue structures such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, heart, and intestines with greater precision. This makes it especially valuable in diagnosing abdominal concerns, organ irregularities, and certain soft tissue injuries.
Ultrasound helps our veterinarians evaluate organ size, shape, movement, and overall function, and detect abnormalities such as masses, cysts, or fluid buildup. By offering this advanced imaging service in-house, we can quickly and accurately diagnose health concerns and begin appropriate treatment without delay—ensuring the best possible care for your pet.
