Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
- =Blood Chemistry Profile: Our blood chemistry profile includes essential tests to assess kidney and liver function, blood sugar levels, and overall metabolic health. These tests provide valuable insights into your pet’s internal organ function and help us detect and monitor any underlying health issues.
- =Complete Blood Count (CBC): The CBC measures the levels of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in your pet’s blood. This test is crucial for evaluating your pet’s immune system, oxygen-carrying capacity, and ability to clot blood properly.
- =Urinalysis with Sediment Examination: Urinalysis helps us evaluate your pet’s kidney function, and urinary tract health, and detect any signs of infection or inflammation. Sediment examination allows us to identify abnormal cells, crystals, or other substances in the urine that may indicate underlying health issues.
- =Cytology of Skin & Ear Samples: Cytology involves examining cells from skin or ear samples under a microscope to diagnose skin infections, allergies, or other dermatological conditions affecting your pet.
- =Fecal Testing: Our fecal testing screens for intestinal parasites such as worms, protozoa, and other organisms that can affect your pet’s gastrointestinal health. Early detection and treatment of these parasites are essential for your pet’s well-being.
- =Infectious Disease Testing: We offer a range of infectious disease tests, including heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, canine parvovirus, and feline leukemia (FELV)/feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) tests to ensure early detection and appropriate treatment.
- =Additional Diagnostic Tests: For specialized diagnostic tests such as histopathology and cultures, we partner with Antech, a nationwide veterinary diagnostic laboratory, to provide comprehensive diagnostic services for your pet’s unique needs.
