Advanced Testing for Clear Answers
At Pinnacle Pet Health, we know that accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective veterinary care. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic services in Morgantown, WV, help us uncover the cause of your pet’s symptoms quickly and precisely — ensuring they receive the right treatment without delay.
From comprehensive blood panels to high-definition imaging, our on-site technology and partnership with IDEXX Reference Laboratories give our team access to a full spectrum of diagnostic capabilities.
Diagnostic Imaging
Sometimes, a deeper look is necessary to fully understand your pet’s condition. We offer both digital radiography (X-rays) and ultrasound imaging to provide a clear view of internal organs, bones, and soft tissues.
Radiographs (X-Rays)
Our digital radiography system produces high-resolution images that help detect fractures, arthritis, organ changes, and other conditions.
We use X-rays for:
- Abdominal and thoracic imaging
- Musculoskeletal and orthopedic evaluations
- Pregnancy confirmation
- Pre- and post-operative monitoring
- OFA certification
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging gives us real-time insight into internal organs and soft tissues. This non-invasive tool helps us visualize fluid buildup, tumors, and organ irregularities.
We also perform:
- Abdominal and thoracic ultrasounds
- Cystocentesis for sterile urine collection
- Guided biopsies for diagnostic sampling
- Pregnancy ultrasounds
In-House and Reference Laboratory Testing
Our in-house lab allows us to run many critical tests during your pet’s appointment, giving you answers within minutes. When more specialized testing is needed, we partner with IDEXX Laboratories to provide advanced results and expert analysis.
Common diagnostic tests we offer include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) – Detects infection, anemia, and inflammation.
- Chemistry Panels – Evaluate organ function and metabolic health.
- Thyroid Hormone, Phenobarbital, and Fructosamine Testing – Monitor endocrine and seizure disorders.
- Electrolytes – Assess hydration and overall metabolic balance.
