In-House Diagnostics

In-House Diagnostics

Fast, Accurate Testing for Pets in Campbelltown

When your pet isn’t feeling their best, getting answers quickly can make all the difference. At Campbelltown Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to offer a fully equipped in-house diagnostic centre, allowing us to assess, diagnose, and treat your pet’s health concerns without unnecessary delays.

With advanced testing equipment on-site, including pathology, X-ray, and ultrasound. We can provide faster results, faster treatment, and greater peace of mind.

Why In-House Diagnostics Matter

Pets can’t tell us where it hurts and many medical conditions aren’t visible from the outside. That’s where diagnostic testing plays a vital role.

In-house diagnostics help us to:

  • Investigate illness or injury
  • Detect problems early
  • Monitor ongoing health conditions
  • Ensure your pet is fit for surgery
  • Support breeding and pregnancy care
  • Provide tailored treatment plans

Having these tools on-site means you get answers sooner, often within the same visit, so we can start helping your pet feel better, faster.

Pathology Testing (Blood & Laboratory Work)

Our modern in-house laboratory allows us to run a wide range of pathology tests with speed and accuracy.

Common tests include:

  • Complete Blood Counts (CBC)
  • Biochemistry panels (organ function)
  • Electrolyte testing
  • Pre-anaesthetic blood testing
  • Wellness screening for senior pets
  • Progesterone testing for breeding and whelping
  • Urine and faecal testing
  • Skin scrapings and cytology (skin and ear conditions)

For more complex or specialised tests, we can send samples to trusted external veterinary pathology labs, with fast turnaround times.

Digital X-Ray Imaging

Our hospital is equipped with a modern digital X-ray machine, providing clear, high-quality images to help diagnose a wide range of conditions.

X-rays are commonly used to investigate:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Joint problems and arthritis
  • Foreign bodies (swallowed items)
  • Chest and lung conditions
  • Heart and abdominal concerns
  • Dental issues (where required)

Digital X-rays allow for faster imaging, minimal exposure, and easy sharing of images for specialist referrals if needed.

Ultrasound Scanning

Ultrasound allows us to look at your pet’s internal organs in real time, providing valuable insight without the need for surgery.

We commonly use ultrasound to assess:

  • Pregnancy monitoring
  • Abdominal problems
  • Bladder and kidney health
  • Tumours or abnormal growths
  • Heart conditions (basic heart scanning)

Ultrasound is a gentle, non-invasive procedure and is suitable for pets of all shapes and sizes.

When Do We Recommend Diagnostic Testing?

Diagnostics may be recommended if your pet:

  • Is unwell and symptoms are unclear
  • Has had ongoing skin, ear, or digestive issues
  • Needs surgery or anaesthesia
  • Is a senior pet and due for a health check
  • Is part of a breeding program
  • Requires dental treatment and X-rays
  • Has suffered injury or trauma

We’ll always talk you through why a particular test is recommended and provide clear information about the process and costs involved.

Fast Results. Personalised Care.

At Campbelltown Veterinary Hospital, in-house diagnostics are part of our commitment to delivering exceptional veterinary care. It’s about more than technology it’s about making sure you and your pet have answers, clarity, and a clear path forward.
