Pet Diagnostics in Chesapeake, VA
When a pet shows signs of illness or discomfort, diagnosing the issue can be challenging since animals cannot communicate their symptoms. At Barker Animal Hospital, we use a range of diagnostic tools to understand your pet’s health condition fully. Our aim is to provide accurate diagnoses to ensure your pet receives the appropriate care promptly.
In-House Laboratory
Having an on-site diagnostic laboratory allows us to perform a variety of tests quickly and efficiently. This capability is crucial for both routine health screenings and urgent cases. The benefits of our in-house laboratory include:
- Rapid Results: Many tests, including blood work and urinalysis, can be completed within minutes. This swift turnaround helps us develop a treatment plan before you leave the exam room.
- Critical Care: For critical situations, having immediate test results allows us to address health issues as soon as possible.
- Routine Screenings: Regular health screenings are part of your pet’s wellness care, ensuring early detection of potential problems.
Digital Radiology (X-Ray)
X-ray imaging is essential for diagnosing a range of conditions, from fractures to internal injuries. Our digital radiology services offer:
- Detailed Imaging: X-rays provide a clear view of your pet’s bones and internal structures. This helps us identify and assess injuries and diseases.
- Real-Time Analysis: Images can be reviewed in real-time, allowing for quick decision-making. If needed, images can be shared electronically with specialists for further consultation.

- High-Quality Images: Our ultrasound system creates detailed images that help in diagnosing conditions affecting internal organs.
