Advanced Diagnostics for Total Peace of Mind

 

When your pet isn't feeling their best, they can't tell us where it hurts. That’s why we utilize the latest medical technology to see what’s happening beneath the surface. At Niskayuna Animal Hospital, our diagnostic suite provides rapid, accurate answers, allowing us to begin the right treatment plan immediately.
What We Offer

Veterinary Diagnostics

In order to accurately identify veterinary illnesses, we have to know exactly what is happening inside your pet. Our advanced diagnostic suite provides the high-definition answers needed to begin the right treatment plan immediately.
  • In-House Veterinary Laboratory

When your pet is facing an unexpected illness or urgent medical situation, waiting days for outside laboratory results isn't an option. Our fully equipped, state-of-the-art on-site veterinary laboratory allows our medical team to run comprehensive diagnostic profiles right here in our clinic. Within minutes, we obtain critical baseline data to accurately diagnose metabolic changes, underlying infections, or toxicity issues.

    • Complete Blood Counts (CBC): Quickly detects hidden inflammation, anemia, and active immune responses.

    • Comprehensive Blood Chemistry Profiles: Evaluates vital organ functions, including the kidneys, liver, and pancreas.

    • Urinalysis & Metabolic Screenings: Provides critical insight into diabetes, urinary tract health, and hydration levels during urgent care visits.

  • High-Definition Digital Radiography (X-Rays)
Vaccinations

We utilize modern digital pet X-rays to obtain clear, high-resolution internal images in a matter of seconds. Unlike traditional film X-rays, our advanced digital system drastically reduces radiation exposure and eliminates the need for stressful, prolonged positioning. This completely painless, non-invasive imaging tool gives our veterinarians an immediate window into your pet’s internal anatomy, making it an indispensable asset for routine evaluations and emergency trauma care alike.

  • Skeletal & Orthopedic Assessments: Instantly pinpoints bone fractures, joint arthritis, and structural abnormalities.

  • Cardiopulmonary & Chest Imaging: Evaluates heart size, detects fluid in the lungs, and monitors respiratory conditions.

  • Abdominal Screenings: Rapidly identifies swallowed foreign objects, internal blockages, and abnormal organ enlargement.

  • State-of-the-Art Veterinary Ultrasound

For complex internal medical conditions, veterinary ultrasound provides a safe, real-time look into your pet's body without the need for invasive exploratory surgery. Using gentle, specialized sound waves, our high-frequency ultrasound technology visualizes the detailed, three-dimensional internal architecture of your pet's abdominal and thoracic organs. This allows our clinical team to safely evaluate blood flow, detect subtle tissue alterations, and catch early-stage chronic illnesses that standard X-rays might miss.

  • Real-Time Organ Evaluation: Assesses the detailed structures of the liver, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder.

  • Guided Diagnostic Sampling: Allows for safe, ultra-precise, fluid aspirations and biopsies when necessary.

  • Stress-Free Environment: Performed in a calm, dimmed room to keep your dog or cat completely relaxed throughout the procedure.

Niskayuna Animal Hospital provides compassionate medical, surgical, and dental care for cats and dogs in a calm, professional environment. Our dedicated team treats every pet like family, serving the Niskayuna and Greater Schenectady community with integrity. We are committed to excellence in animal health and lifelong wellness.
