Veterinary Diagnostic Tests in Zion, IL

Our Zion animal hospital uses state-of-the-art digital radiography to examine your pet’s internal structures. Digital X-rays produce clear images in seconds, allowing our veterinarians to assess a wide range of conditions.

With clear, detailed X-rays, we can evaluate:

• Heart, liver, and kidney size and shape
• Signs of pneumonia, tumors, or inflammation in the lungs
• Bone fractures or orthopedic concerns
• Foreign objects or intestinal obstructions
• Dental issues such as tooth decay or bone loss
• Abnormal fluid buildup

When soft-tissue detail is needed, our in-house ultrasound machine provides real-time images of your pet’s abdominal organs. This noninvasive tool helps us diagnose conditions that X-rays cannot fully visualize.

Ultrasound helps us detect:

• Bladder or kidney stones
• Cysts and certain tumors
• Abdominal masses
• Abnormal fluid
• Pregnancy progression
• Changes in organ structure

Our in-house lab allows us to run essential tests during your pet’s visit, speeding up diagnosis and treatment. Many results are available the same day, giving you clarity without long waits.

Common lab tests we conduct include:

• Bloodwork to assess organ function, infection, inflammation, or anemia
• Urinalysis to evaluate kidney health and detect urinary issues
• Fecal testing to identify intestinal parasites such as hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms
• Skin and cytology samples to examine cells for infections or underlying dermatological concerns
