Cats are experts at hiding discomfort — which means that by the time you notice something is wrong, the underlying condition may already be significant. At Tenafly Veterinary Center in Tenafly, NJ, our advanced cat diagnostic care helps us see what's happening inside your cat's body and give you the answers needed to make the best decisions for their health.
Why Diagnostic Care Is So Important for Cats
Regular diagnostic testing — even in cats that appear healthy — is one of the most powerful tools in feline medicine. Many serious cat diseases, including chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, and early-stage cancer, produce minimal or no outward symptoms until they are quite advanced. Early detection through diagnostics is the key to effective treatment.
Our Cat Diagnostic Services
Digital X-Rays
High-resolution digital radiographs provide fast, detailed images of your cat's bones, chest, and abdomen — helping us evaluate heart size, lung conditions, bladder stones, and more with minimal radiation exposure.
In-House Laboratory
Our on-site lab provides same-visit results for complete blood counts, comprehensive chemistry panels, thyroid panels, urinalysis, and fecal testing — allowing us to start treatment without delay.
Ultrasound Imaging
Non-invasive abdominal ultrasound allows real-time visualization of internal organs — the kidneys, liver, spleen, bladder, adrenal glands, and intestinal walls — to detect masses, fluid, and structural abnormalities without surgery or sedation in many cases.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Hypertension is common in senior cats and cats with kidney disease or hyperthyroidism. Regular blood pressure monitoring helps us catch and manage this silent but damaging condition.
MRI Referrals
For neurological conditions, brain lesions, or complex soft tissue concerns, we coordinate referrals to specialist imaging centers for MRI and incorporate results into your cat's ongoing care.
Specialty & Reference Lab Testing
For complex cases, we partner with leading veterinary reference laboratories for cultures, sensitivity testing, cytology, histopathology, and advanced endocrine panels.
