Pet laboratory services are an integral part of veterinary care, providing essential diagnostic information to help veterinarians assess and monitor the health of pets. Here’s an overview of the key aspects and benefits of pet laboratory services:

Blood Tests

Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates the number and types of cells in the blood, helping diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, and blood disorders. Blood Chemistry Panels: Measures various substances in the blood, such as glucose, electrolytes, enzymes, and proteins, to assess organ function and detect metabolic disorders.

Urinalysis:

Analyzes urine samples to evaluate kidney function, detect urinary tract infections, and identify metabolic diseases like diabetes.

Fecal Analysis:

Examines stool samples for parasites, bacteria, and other pathogens, helping diagnose gastrointestinal infections and infestations.

Cytology::

Involves examining cells from various body fluids, tissues, or masses under a microscope to identify infections, inflammation, or cancerous changes.

Microbiology::

Includes cultures and sensitivity tests to identify bacterial, fungal, or viral infections and determine the most effective treatment options.

Serology and Immunology:

Tests for the presence of antibodies or antigens to diagnose infections, autoimmune diseases, and evaluate vaccine responses.
