Detailed Diagnostic Testing for Cats in Vancouver, WA
At Feline Medical Clinic, we know how good cats are at hiding when they don’t feel well. Because of this natural feline instinct, many illnesses go unnoticed until they’re more advanced and harder to treat. That’s why diagnostic testing plays such a vital role in our approach to feline care. From routine health screenings to urgent medical evaluations, we use lab testing, imaging, and advanced diagnostic tools to uncover what your cat can’t tell us.

Lab Work for Cats
Our diagnostic lab services are designed to detect problems early, before your cat shows symptoms, and to guide treatment when illness is present. Even if your cat seems perfectly healthy, routine diagnostic screenings are important at every life stage, and especially essential as they age.
Our diagnostic lab services include:
X-Rays and Ultrasound for Cats
Some health concerns can’t be diagnosed with lab work alone. That’s why we offer advanced imaging tools to get a deeper look at what’s going on inside your cat’s body, without discomfort or invasive procedures.
Digital Radiographs
X-rays allow us to evaluate your cat’s bones, lungs, heart, and internal organs. We use them to check for broken bones, tumors, arthritis, swallowed objects, heart or lung disease, and more. X-rays are fast, noninvasive, and extremely useful in both emergency and chronic care settings.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound allows us to see soft tissues and organ function in real time. It’s often used to evaluate the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and lymph nodes. Ultrasounds can also guide us when taking sterile samples of fluid or tissue.
Prioritizing Preventive Care and Early Detection
Routine screenings and diagnostic testing aren't just for sick cats; they’re a critical part of keeping healthy cats well. Especially as your cat enters their senior years, early detection of chronic conditions allows us to start treatment sooner, manage symptoms more effectively, and ensure a better quality of life for longer.
