In-House Diagnostics
In-House Veterinary Laboratory Gibraltar, MI
Gibraltar Veterinary Hospital has the capability to perform various blood tests, pre-anesthetic bloodwork, and other types of testing on-site instead of sending samples to an outside lab. This saves time and most importantly, you don’t have to wait overnight for results—meaning your pet gets a diagnosis and needed treatment sooner.
Testing provided in the hospital includes:
Chemistry Panels:
- Liver enzyme screening
- Pancreatic evaluation
- Renal (Kidney) profiles
Wellness screenings:
- Complete blood counts
- General chemistries
- Electrolytes
- Urinalysis
- Fecal testing (parasites)
- Blood pressure
- Heartworm screening
- Glucose monitoring
Viral screenings:
- FelV, FIV in cats
- Parvovirus in dogs
While we do offer an extensive range of on-site testing, it is possible that your pet may need laboratory work beyond our scope. For those cases, we are happy to send blood work or other testing to an outside lab that will send results back to us.
Digital Radiology
Veterinary diagnostic imaging is used to discover internal disease or injury.
Radiographs, or X-rays, use electromagnetic radiation directed towards the body to highlight objects within. They can detect abnormalities including skeletal fractures, soft tissue damage, foreign bodies, and dental disease.

- Ultrasounds
Orthopedic radiographs and contrast studies require the patient to remain completely still to work correctly, necessitating sedation in most cases. Some specialized procedures may require anesthesia. The duration of sedation or anesthesia is usually short and patient recovery is swift.
