State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Services for Your Pets in DeLand

From unexplained symptoms to trauma or complex medical cases, accurate diagnosis is the foundation for effective treatment. Our hospital provides a wide range of diagnostic capabilities to evaluate internal health conditions quickly and precisely.

We’re able to support general practices throughout Volusia County with advanced diagnostics and second opinions. Our team works closely with referring vets, ensuring shared case updates and timely results.

Some common reasons pets are referred or brought in for diagnostics include:

Difficulty breathing or abnormal heart sounds

Lameness or spinal pain

Vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss

Chronic infections or unexplained inflammation

Seizures or collapse

Suspected cancer or organ abnormalities

Lab Diagnostics: Getting Answers From the Inside Out

Our in-house lab services at Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand provide fast, accurate diagnostic support for dogs and cats experiencing illness or unexplained symptoms. These tools help guide immediate care and support ongoing treatment plans for both emergency and referred cases.

We perform advanced internal testing including:

Fine-Needle Aspirates (FNA)

A quick, minimally invasive method to sample lumps, glands, or internal tissues for signs of infection or cancer—often without sedation.

Biopsies

Surgical or needle-based tissue sampling used to diagnose cancer, chronic inflammation, and internal organ disorders with precision.

Cytology

Microscopic examination of cells from fluid, skin, or tissue to detect infections, inflammation, or abnormal growths—especially helpful in urgent situations.

Skin Scrapings and Cytology

Examining samples under a microscope helps us identify parasites, bacterial infections, or fungal growths.

Biopsies

In cases of chronic or complex skin diseases, we may take a small sample of skin tissue to identify autoimmune conditions or cancers.

Allergy Testing

This may involve blood tests or intradermal testing (injecting small amounts of allergens into the skin) to pinpoint specific allergens causing your pet’s symptoms.

Ear Swabs and Cultures

For pets with ear infections, we examine ear discharge to determine the presence of bacteria, yeast, or other organisms.

Intradermal Testing

A highly effective way to diagnose environmental allergies, intradermal testing allows us to create targeted immunotherapy solutions.

These lab diagnostics allow us to pinpoint causes of illness, avoid unnecessary procedures, and customize treatment plans for each pet’s needs.

Minimally Invasive Diagnostics: Endoscopy & Colonoscopy

For pets with ongoing digestive issues or internal concerns, Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand offers minimally invasive procedures to directly examine the gastrointestinal tract—without the need for traditional surgery.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy allows us to inspect the esophagus, stomach, and small intestines using a flexible camera, often used to remove swallowed objects or diagnose GI disease.

Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy provides a view of the colon and rectum, ideal for investigating chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding, or suspected masses.

Both procedures are performed under anesthesia for comfort and allow for precise biopsies when needed. They often result in shorter recovery times, reduced discomfort, and faster diagnoses—making them a preferred option over exploratory surgery

No referral is required for emergency care. However, we do work closely with local veterinarians to support referred diagnostic cases, and we’re happy to send test results and updates directly to your vet.

In many cases, especially with digital X-rays and ultrasound, sedation is not needed. For procedures like endoscopy or HDVI imaging, mild sedation or anesthesia may be required for accuracy and comfort.

Basic tests and imaging results are available almost immediately. More advanced lab diagnostics, like biopsies or cytology, may take 1–3 days depending on the sample and external lab processing.

Our use of HDVI, fluoroscopy, and on-site procedures like endoscopy allows us to diagnose conditions with greater precision and less delay. We also operate 24/7, so emergency diagnostics are always available.
