Veterinary Diagnostics & Labwork in Aurora, CO
At Seven Hills Veterinary Hospital, we provide advanced veterinary diagnostics and labwork in Aurora, CO to help identify illnesses, monitor ongoing conditions, and support timely treatment for pets.
Diagnostic testing plays an important role in veterinary medicine by allowing our team to better understand what is happening inside your pet’s body — often before visible symptoms appear.
Our hospital combines in-house laboratory testing with advanced imaging technology to provide accurate, efficient diagnostic care for dogs and cats.
In-House Veterinary Laboratory Testing
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform many diagnostic tests quickly and efficiently. Testing may include:

Early detection can help support timely treatment and long-term health management.
Diagnostic Imaging for Pets
In addition to laboratory testing, our hospital offers advanced diagnostic imaging services to help evaluate internal structures without surgery. Imaging services may include:
- Digital radiology
- Ultrasound
- Dental radiographs
These tools help veterinarians assess:
- Bones and joints
- Internal organs
- Ingested foreign objects
- Tumors or masses
- Heart and lung conditions
Diagnostic imaging is often used alongside laboratory testing to create a more complete understanding of your pet’s health.
Veterinary Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that allows veterinarians to examine areas inside the body using a small camera attached to a flexible tube. Endoscopy may help evaluate:
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Chronic vomiting
- Foreign objects
- Respiratory concerns
- Tissue abnormalities
In some cases, tissue samples may also be collected for further testing.
Diagnostics for Sick & Emergency Patients
When pets experience sudden illness or injury, timely diagnostic testing can be critical. Our veterinary team may use diagnostics to evaluate:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Difficulty breathing
- Pain or mobility changes
- Trauma-related injuries
- Urinary problems
- Neurological symptoms
Our hospital also provides emergency services for pets requiring immediate medical attention.
Why Diagnostics Matter
Pets may not always show obvious signs when they are sick or uncomfortable. Diagnostic testing helps veterinarians identify underlying medical conditions before symptoms become more severe or more difficult to treat. Routine diagnostics may support:
- Earlier disease detection
- Preventive care planning
- Surgical safety screening
- Chronic disease management
- Timely treatment decisions
Diagnostics are especially important for senior pets, sick patients, and pets with ongoing medical conditions.
