Veterinary Diagnostic & Imaging in Conway, AR
Fast, Accurate Answers with In-House Lab Testing, X-Rays, and Ultrasound
When your pet is sick, injured, or showing subtle signs of illness, timely and accurate diagnostics are essential. At St. Francis Veterinary Clinic, we’re proud to offer advanced veterinary diagnostic and imaging services in Conway, AR, including our fully equipped in-house lab, digital pet radiology, and ultrasound. These tools allow us to quickly identify what’s going on inside your pet’s body — so we can begin the right treatment without delay.
In-House Laboratory Diagnostics
Our veterinary in-house lab is one of the most valuable tools in our commitment to responsive, high-quality care. With on-site testing capabilities, we can provide real-time results for a wide range of diagnostic panels, helping us detect and treat conditions quickly and effectively.
From routine bloodwork to urgent health concerns, our in-house lab supports your pet’s health in the following ways:
- Faster diagnosis in emergencies or sudden illnesses
- Pre-anesthetic screening to ensure safe surgical procedures
- Senior pet care, where quick insights are critical for aging pets
- Monitoring chronic conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and thyroid disorders
Common Procedures Performed In-House Include
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Blood Chemistry Panel
- Blood Gas Analysis
- Urinalysis
- Fecal Testing (for parasites and digestive health)
- Electrolyte Testing
- Thyroid Function Testing (T4)
- Diabetes Monitoring (Glucose, Fructosamine)
- Infectious Disease Screening (such as heartworm, tick-borne diseases
These tests provide vital insights into organ function, immune response, metabolic balance, and overall health. Fast and accurate results from our in-house lab mean your pet can get the care they need without delay — minimizing stress and improving outcomes.
Veterinary Imaging Services: Radiology, Ultrasound & Cardiology
In addition to lab testing, our veterinary imaging capabilities allow us to visualize your pet’s internal systems without the need for invasive procedures. Diagnostic imaging is painless, safe, and incredibly informative — especially when symptoms don’t tell the whole story.
We offer the following advanced imaging services:
Digital Pet X-Rays (Radiology)
Pet radiology helps us examine bones, joints, the spine, chest, and abdomen for fractures, tumors, fluid buildup, or foreign objects. This is a critical tool for both injury assessment and internal health evaluation.
Veterinary Ultrasound
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. This allows us to examine the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and gastrointestinal tract with precision — ideal for diagnosing soft tissue conditions and monitoring pregnancies.
Cardiology Diagnostics
We can assess heart function through non-invasive means, identifying murmurs, irregular rhythms, and signs of congestive heart failure. Early detection is especially vital for senior pets and breeds prone to heart conditions.
Each diagnostic image is reviewed by our experienced veterinarians, and when necessary, we collaborate with veterinary specialists for further insight.
Why Veterinary Diagnostics Matter
Veterinary diagnostic and imaging services provide the foundation for accurate treatment. Pets often hide signs of pain or illness; what appears minor may signal a more serious underlying issue. Without proper diagnostics, problems like kidney disease, cancer, heart failure, or internal injuries could go undetected.
By using in-house lab testing and veterinary imaging, we can:
- Detect health problems before they become severe
- Monitor chronic illnesses with precision
- Minimize the need for exploratory surgery
- Reduce stress and wait times for pet owners
- Provide faster, more effective care plans
Early detection leads to better outcomes — and often, longer, healthier lives for your beloved pets.
