DiagnosticsWhen your pet isn’t feeling well, a fast diagnosis is vital. VCVC features a state-of-the-art diagnostic suite. Most bloodwork can be done instantaneously on site. Our digital radiographic capabilities allow us to provide quality images fast, typically without the need for sedation. Dr. Elder is also a member of the Veterinary Information Network. This gives VCVC access to consultation with leading veterinary specialists on short notice.

We partner with IDEXX diagnostics to offer both in house and reference laboratory options. We have state of the art machines allowing us to evaluate blood samples, urine samples and skin cell samples to more effectively monitor your pets health and detect and diagnose any serious health issues early. Any labs that cannot be run in house are sent out and rushed at no extra cost to you to provide detailed results within days. We also offer digital x-ray, cardiac and ultrasound imaging services that allow us to upload your images immediately to be read by a licensed radiologist within 24 hours.
