  • Urinalysis and fecal exams
  • Cytology and skin tests

Our on-site lab means your pet gets the right treatment without delay, and you get peace of mind that answers are coming quickly.

Digital Radiology

Crystal-Clear Images for Faster Diagnoses

Pet X-rays are a crucial part of diagnosing a wide variety of conditions, from broken bones and swallowed toys to tumors and heart issues. At Colonial Animal Hospital, we use state-of-the-art digital radiology to capture detailed internal images in seconds.

Benefits of our digital X-ray system:

  • High-quality, high-resolution imaging
  • Instant image display on our monitors
  • Easy sharing with specialists for second opinions
  • Quick file transfers via email or saved to disc
  • Less radiation exposure for pets and staff

We also use digital dental radiology during pet dental procedures, allowing us to view the roots and underlying bone structures where most dental problems hide, ensuring fewer surprises in their smile.

Pet Ultrasound

See Beneath the Surface Without Surgery

While X-rays provide a still snapshot, pet ultrasound gives us a real-time, moving picture of your pet’s internal organs. This safe, non-invasive procedure uses sound waves—no radiation and usually no sedation!

Ultrasound helps us:

  • Detect internal masses, cysts, or fluid buildup
  • Examine organ structure (liver, kidneys, spleen, etc.)
  • Guide needle biopsies without surgery
  • Perform veterinary echocardiograms for pet heart exams

Have a pet with a suspected tummy ache, liver issue, or heart murmur? Ultrasound helps us visualize what we can’t feel or see, so we can diagnose and treat with confidence.

Echocardiogram

A Closer Look at Your Pet’s Heart

A veterinary echocardiogram is a specialized ultrasound of the heart that allows us to examine heart chambers, valves, and blood flow, essential for detecting conditions such as heart murmurs, heart disease, or fluid around the heart.

Whether your pet is showing signs of heart trouble or needs clearance before anesthesia, our pet heart exam helps ensure they receive safe, targeted care.
