Pets can’t tell us when they feel unwell — and many instinctively hide discomfort. That’s why fast, accurate diagnostic testing is essential for detecting illness early and providing effective treatment. At Sleepy Hollow Animal Hospital, our advanced in-house diagnostics allow us to uncover the cause of your pet’s symptoms quickly and begin the right treatment without delay.
When pets show signs of illness, an accurate diagnosis is the foundation for proper care. Our diagnostic tools help us identify underlying diseases, track organ function, detect infections, and monitor treatment progress — all with minimal stress for your pet.
Identify illness early, even when pets hide symptoms
Determine the cause of pain, vomiting, lethargy, or behavior changes
Measure organ function and overall health
Guide treatment plans with precise, data-based insights
Evaluate how well ongoing treatments are working
Our hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic technology that provides results within minutes — not days. This helps reduce anxiety for both you and your pet and allows our team to take immediate action when needed.
These tests provide detailed information about:
Red and white blood cells
Platelets and reticulocytes
Liver and kidney function
Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride)
Blood sugar, proteins, calcium, and more
These values not only help diagnose conditions but also monitor ongoing treatments.
Performed daily to detect:
Intestinal parasites (fecal exams)
Ear infections (swabs and cytology)
Skin mites or infections (skin scrapes)
Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray system produces instant, high-quality images. These can be:
Reviewed immediately by our veterinarians
Sent electronically to a board-certified radiologist when specialist input is required
For more advanced imaging and internal evaluations, we partner with a mobile board-certified veterinary internist who visits our hospital regularly.
A board-certified veterinary cardiologist provides advanced heart diagnostics when needed, including:
Echocardiograms
Chest X-rays
Electrocardiograms (EKGs)
For rare or highly complex conditions, we utilize a nationally recognized reference laboratory. This gives us access to:
Pathologists
Cytologists
Microbiologists
Specialized test results are securely transmitted directly into your pet’s medical record, ensuring fast interpretation and timely treatment recommendations.
