On-Site Veterinary Diagnostics & Imaging in Eustis, FL
Because our four-legged family members cannot tell us where it hurts, advanced veterinary diagnostics are absolutely essential for practicing precise, effective veterinary medicine. At Eustis Veterinary Hospital we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools—including an advanced on-site laboratory and digital radiography—to look beneath the surface and gather a clear picture of your pet’s internal health.
Led by Dr. Christine Cassidy and Dr. Jennifer Stenger, our Lake County medical practice focuses on fast, highly accurate testing. Whether your pet is undergoing routine baseline screening or requiring immediate diagnostic answers during a same-day sick visit, our advanced technology provides results in minutes, not days.

When a pet is ill, injured, or preparing for general anesthesia, waiting days for outside lab results can delay critical care. Our sophisticated internal laboratory allows us to run comprehensive test panels immediately while you wait, giving our doctors the data they need to build an instantaneous treatment plan.
Our core laboratory diagnostic capabilities include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Measures red and white blood cells alongside platelets, allowing us to screen for anemia, underlying infections, inflammation, and blood clotting capabilities.
- Blood Chemistry Profiles: Evaluates essential organ function in real time, screening for kidney disease, liver abnormalities, blood sugar imbalances, and electrolyte levels.
- Urinalysis Testing: Analyzes urine health to detect painful urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder crystals, kidney function issues, and signs of early diabetes.
- Specialized Parasite Screenings: Rapid testing to detect heartworm disease, tick-borne illnesses (such as Lyme or Ehrlichia), and internal intestinal parasites that could compromise your pet or family’s wellness.
State-of-the-Art Digital Radiography (X-Rays)
Digital X-rays are a safe, non-invasive, and incredibly fast imaging tool used to visualize your pet’s internal skeletal and soft-tissue structures. Unlike old-fashioned film X-rays, our digital radiography system produces high-definition, crystal-clear images on a computer monitor within seconds.
We routinely utilize digital imaging to evaluate and diagnose:
- Orthopedic Conditions: Pinpointing bone fractures, joint dislocations, spinal abnormalities, and signs of degenerative arthritis or mobility changes.
- Abdominal Internal Organs: Screening for the size, shape, and position of organs, as well as detecting swallowed foreign objects, bladder stones, or unusual masses.
- Cardiopulmonary Function: Assessing the heart and lungs to screen for enlargement, fluid accumulation, or respiratory disease.
Proactive Screening for Long-Term Comfort
Diagnostics are not just for sick pets. Running regular baseline blood work during your pet’s annual wellness exams is the most effective way to practice preventative medicine. By tracking your pet’s unique lab trends over time, we can catch subtle internal changes long before external symptoms appear, allowing us to implement simple lifestyle adjustments or medications that add years to their life.
