Fast, Reliable On-Site Diagnostics in Beaumont, TX

When your pet isn’t feeling well, waiting for answers can be stressful. At Neighborhood Veterinary Centers Calder, our in-house diagnostic tools help us quickly uncover the cause of your pet’s symptoms and begin effective treatment without delay.

Our advanced equipment and lab capabilities give us the power to evaluate your pet’s condition right here in our clinic—so you spend less time waiting and more time healing.

What Are On-Site Diagnostic Tests?

On-site diagnostics are medical tests we perform in our own facility, without needing to send samples out. From bloodwork and X-rays to ultrasound and fecal analysis, these tools allow us to evaluate internal health, detect disease, and monitor ongoing conditions—all under one roof.

What Kinds of Tests Do We Offer?

NVC Calder is equipped with a full suite of diagnostic tools to help us assess your pet’s health from head to tail. Common on-site diagnostics include:

  • Bloodwork: Evaluates organ function, detects infections, and assesses overall health
  • Urinalysis: Identifies urinary tract infections, kidney issues, and metabolic disorders
  • Fecal Examination: Detects intestinal parasites and digestive abnormalities
  • Cytology: Examines cells from skin lesions, ear swabs, or masses to diagnose infections or tumors
  • Digital Radiography (X-Rays): Visualizes bones, joints, and internal organs to detect fractures, arthritis, or foreign bodies.
  • Ultrasound: Assesses soft tissue structures, including abdominal organs and the heart, to identify abnormalities

How Do Diagnostics Improve Your Pet’s Care?

When a health issue is brewing under the surface, fast diagnostics make all the difference. Here’s how we use them to support better outcomes:

  • Catch diseases early before they cause serious harm

  • Track ongoing conditions like diabetes or thyroid disease

  • Make informed decisions about surgery, medication, or supportive care

  • Check progress during treatment to ensure recovery stays on track

Do You Still Use External Labs?

Yes—if your pet needs a more complex or highly specialized test, we work with trusted external laboratories to ensure the most accurate results. This includes certain biopsies, hormone panels, and advanced infectious disease testing. You’ll always be informed about any external processing and timeline involved.

How Fast Will I Get My Pet’s Test Results?

Many of our diagnostic tests—such as bloodwork, urinalysis, and X-rays—are processed during your pet’s visit, so we can often share results the same day. If your pet needs more specialized testing, we’ll let you know the expected turnaround time.

Do Pets Need to be Sedated for X-rays or Ultrasounds?

Most pets do not need sedation for imaging, but in some cases—especially if your pet is in pain or extremely anxious—we may recommend light sedation to keep them safe and comfortable during the procedure.

How Do I Know if My Pet Needs Diagnostic Testing?

If your pet is showing signs like vomiting, lethargy, weight loss, changes in appetite, or unusual behavior, diagnostic tests can help us find the cause. We may also recommend routine testing during wellness exams, especially for senior pets or those with chronic conditions.
