Get the Right Advice on Your Pet’s Care With Advanced Diagnostics You Can Trust

When your pet is sick or injured, getting the right answers and treatment plans in place as quickly as possible is a crucial step toward healing. Deep diagnostic capabilities like blood testing, urinalysis and fecal examination, and digital radiology help us find answers for your pet’s ailments accurately and efficiently.

From diagnosing disease to monitoring progression and treatment response, and even screening for underlying diseases in animals that appear healthy, the Mount Airy Veterinary Associates team will be with you and your pet every step of the way. Learn more about our diagnostic capabilities and schedule an appointment below.

Digital Radiology

Radiographs (x-rays) provide an immediate diagnostic tool for many conditions and are usually interpreted by the examining doctor. From Mount Airy Veterinary Associates, images are then electronically transmitted to radiologists at Synergy Veterinary Imaging Partners (SVIP) for review.

Our partnership with SVIP allows us to enhance the quality of care for our patients, by giving them access to board-certified radiologists that return accurate, high-quality reports efficiently. This allows Mount Airy Veterinary Associates doctors to confidently diagnose your pet faster whenever a serious problem arises, leading to treatment starting sooner.

Lab Work

Blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, skin sample examinations, and several other testing procedures require full processing in a lab in order to properly diagnose your pet. Our on-site lab processes many common tests, while more complex lab work is outsourced to an outside accredited veterinary laboratory with quick turnaround times.

At Mount Airy Veterinary Associates, we have the ability to check certain blood tests on-site and frequently use our in-house lab to examine ear swabs, skin samples, skin scrapings, and fine needle aspirates. For the rest of our lab work, we rely on an outside laboratory and typically get test results back within a few business days, allowing us to create and execute a comprehensive treatment plan quickly.
