Laboratory Tests |
 |
| The following is a description of the diagnostic tests we offer: |
| Intestinal Parasite Screening: Performed yearly to detect intestinal parasites present in your pets feces that can affect both you and your pet. |
| Heartworm Prevention and Testing: Yearly testing and use of preventative medications for dogs. |
Blood work and urinalysis: We recommend that this lab work be performed every year as your pet ages. Routine testing helps to detect problems not evident on physical exam.
The blood work includes a complete blood count, which looks for anemia, infection, inflammation, and evidence of cancer.
The blood chemistry test which will be performed may diagnose problems like diabetes, kidney failure, liver disease, and cancer.
A thyroid test is also performed to detect hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) in dogs and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) in cats.
The urinalysis helps evaluate kidney function, evidence of diabetes, infection and urinary stones/crystals.
