Fast, Accurate Testing for Better Care
When your pet isn’t feeling well, getting clear answers quickly is essential. At Red Barn Veterinary Medical Center in Howell, MI, we offer a full range of diagnostic services to help us detect illness, monitor chronic conditions, and guide treatment—all with efficiency and compassion.
In-House Lab Testing
Our in-house laboratory allows us to run many common tests right here at the clinic, so you don’t have to wait days for results. We use these tools to evaluate bloodwork, urinalysis, fecal samples, and more—giving us the insights needed to act quickly and confidently.
Digital Imaging Services
We also offer diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, to visualize bones, organs, and soft tissue structures. These tools are essential for diagnosing injuries, identifying blockages, or assessing internal conditions that may not be visible during a physical exam.
When to Consider Diagnostic Testing
If your pet is showing signs of illness—such as vomiting, lethargy, limping, or appetite changes—diagnostics can help identify the underlying issue. They’re also useful for pre-surgical screening, monitoring senior pets, or tracking ongoing health conditions.
