Lab Work Performed On-Site
Timely, accurate diagnostics are key to understanding your pet’s health. Green Level Animal Hospital has an in-house laboratory equipped to perform diagnostic tests for cats and dogs. With access to quick and reliable test results, we can diagnose and treat your pet’s health concerns efficiently, often during the same visit.
Diagnostics and why they matter for your pet’s health.
Diagnostics assess your pet’s overall health, identify underlying conditions, and monitor chronic issues. Routine diagnostic testing detects diseases or abnormalities before they cause significant harm, allowing for early intervention and treatment. In many cases, pets may not show obvious signs of illness until a condition has progressed, which is why diagnostics are so important in providing comprehensive care.
Yearly diagnostic testing is especially beneficial for catching changes in your pet’s health as they progress into their senior years. By monitoring your pet’s health on a regular basis, our veterinarians can track trends in their bloodwork, organ function, and other health indicators.
We rely on accurate testing for health issues in cats and dogs.
Our in-house lab performs essential diagnostic pet tests quickly and accurately. Some of the common tests we offer include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) Measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, helping to detect infections, anemia, and immune system issues.
- Chemistry Panel Assesses organ function, including the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, and helps detect conditions like diabetes or liver disease.
- Fecal Examination Screens for intestinal parasites such as worms and other harmful organisms.
- Urinalysis Evaluates kidney function, detects urinary tract infections, and screens for other metabolic issues.
- Cytology Involves examining cells under a microscope to diagnose infections, tumors, or other abnormal growths.
- Biopsy A tissue sample taken to diagnose cancer, inflammatory conditions, or other abnormal tissues.
- Heartworm Testing Screens for heartworm infections, which are transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause serious health problems if left untreated.
- Parvo Testing Used to diagnose parvovirus, a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease in puppies.
- Feline Combo Test Screens cats for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
- Pancreatitis Testing Helps diagnose inflammation of the pancreas, which can cause severe gastrointestinal issues.
These tests provide our staff with valuable insights into your pet’s health and enable us to begin treatments immediately if necessary.
Advanced testing is run with a trusted
reference lab.
For specialized testing, such as allergy testing, we partner with a trusted reference lab.
While many diagnostics can be completed in-house, some tests require more extensive analysis or specialized equipment that is not available on-site. Working with a reference lab ensures that we can offer comprehensive diagnostic services while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and care. Results from these tests are rarely received on the same day, so we will contact you to discuss the results and any next steps.
