Diagnostics

At the heart of quality medicine is ongoing monitoring of life changes in your pet. Regular blood testing and urine testing for parasites and body functions can give Mandel Veterinary Hospital’s doctors early information that will improve and prolong the life of your pet. Our medical laboratory facility picks up specimens several times daily, and our doctors and technicians call you with the results of those tests. When necessary, there are certified consultants available to review the results.

Additionally, our in-house laboratory equipment allows us to provide you with rapid results on cortisol levels, bile acids, blood glucose, kidney and liver functions, complete blood counts, thyroid levels, platelet counts and cytologies.

We also run giardia and centrifugal fecal tests, health panels, geriatric or pediatric screens and cholesterol profiles.

We are affiliated with Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFFA) and Penn HIP. Traditional x-rays as well as complete dental x-ray capability are available.

Other diagnostic tools available for our staff to provide you with quality care for your pet include eye pressure tonemetry, Doppler blood pressure equipment, and Cardiopet® electrocardiograms — which include an in depth review by board certified cardiologists.
